I live in a small community which is part of HRM (Halifax Regional Municipality) called Black Point, population around 500. I'm always on the look out for items related to the community. I have mostly post cards and covers but also have a couple match book covers and an older enamel post office sign from the early days of the community post office which was run by Flora and Murray Lohnes in the house next door. I picked up this cover from Renfrew House in Black point on E-Bay lately and am now in the process of finding out where it was. There was a large inn on the property behind me, which I now own, when I moved here in 1981. Maybe in the 1940's that's where it was, I just have to find out. So here's a picture of a great piece of local history. I'll also throw in a picture of the road in front of my house in about 1900 with a still existing church just down the road in the picture. My property now is the fenced in area on the left of the postcard, farm land at that time.

Very nice Harvey. Suddenly I have a craving for lobster, drawn butter and lemon.

re: very very local history

Ernie, me too!! There is a place in nearby Hubbards that has lobster as their main attraction. The meal is about $50 and includes an all you can eat salad bar, a pound of muscles, coffee and a desert. Their blueberry grunt (a local term for stewed blueberries, usually served over dumplings or what my mother used to call dough boys). A fantastic meal!! https://www.shoreclub.ca/lobster-suppers Check out the link, sorry but it's closed this time of the year. It's almost worth the trip here!!!!

Harvey,
That looks SO GOOD and the price doesn't really seem too bad to me. I need to find my way up there one of these days. I bet there's alot of neat, maritime history, lighthouses etc. My kind of place. I need to come during the warmer months though. Laughing

re: very very local history

Ernie, if you can make it up here this summer the meal's my treat, let me know! That applies to anyone on SOR. I've been going there a couple times a year since I moved out here in 1981, the prices are very fair and the food is excellent. They've had some of the same waiters/waitresses for the last 40 years, that's always a good sign!!

re: very very local history

Hey Harvey/Joe. When we met in NS a couple summers ago I bought you and Cheryl a donut at Tims and you never took me out to a Lobster dinner!

What does Ernie have that I don't.

Ernie: Please don't reply "a personality"...
