Guest PopGun22 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Part of the movie Tin Cup was filmed at the country club right down the road from me. My high school English and economics teachers were IN Tin Cup. They're extras, and you can clearly see them in at least one of the golf scenes when Costner's putting on one of the greens. Â As for the topic...uh, Janis Joplin spent half of one of her high school years at my high school. So says my now-retired former art teacher; I don't really know if it's true or not. Otherwise, we're famous for absolutely nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted July 31, 2003 A short drive from where I live is a place known as Peggy's Cove. Peggy's Cove happens to be one of the most-photographed places on earth, I'm told. Â Oh, and Halifax is one of the few places where you can get donairs a plently. And I mean, there's a LOT of fucking places to get them. One intersection has 3 of it's 4 corners occupied by pizza/donair shops. Â Oh, and Halifax was (It may still even be; I'm not even sure) on the top ten list of cities in North America to be nuked in the event of nuclear war. Â No, seriously. Our harbour kicks ass. Well, it did...until we filled it with garbage. It still kicks ass, it just does it with a lot of garbage now, that's all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
