Book Description
The towns and cities that make up Halifax Regional Municipality have a fascinating street-level history, spelled out in names that memorialize community leaders, important events and landmarks. Jubilee Road was named for King George III's jubilee year, but Barrington Street, Halifax's main downtown thoroughfare, has an unknown pedigree. City powerbrokers have been immortalized in such names as Inglis Street, Cogswell Street, Cornwallis Street, Joseph Zatzman Drive and Wentworth Street. Others--Rockingstone Road, Spring Garden Road, Windmill Road--take their names from familiar landmarks. In many cases, contributors have uncovered street name histories that were once completely obscure. Halifax Street Names includes contributions from writers with a lively interest in local history, giving derivations and brief histories of more than 180 streets in Bedford, Dartmouth, Halifax and Sackville.

Book Description
Whether you call them gyros, kebabs, doner or donairs, this guide tells you everything you want to know about the history of the world-famous street food. Book of Donair: Everything you want to know about Nova Scotia's unofficial food, is the definitive guide to this much beloved delicacy. In Book of Donair, Lindsay Wickstrom explores the history of the donair, and the people who shaped this Halifax-born kebab into the iconic Canadian street food it has become. Donairs were originally not for the lucky-in-love, but the recourse of the degenerate. They were the butt of toilet humour, the scapegoat of indigestion. The mystery meat with the secret sauce was wrapped in urban legend. It was so commonplace that we took it for granted, no more significant than hamburgers or spaghetti. We didn't realize that it was ours. It wasn't until we made westward pilgrimages to Ontario or Alberta for school or work that the donair became a symbol of home. Book of Donair has everything you want to know about donairs--and were going to ask anyway.
