Had to visit a store in Bridgewater back in June. Swung through Lunenburg on the way back to Halifax. Cool looking place; had a running joke with one of my managers over the Bluenose; he's 28 and had never heard of it - I thought that was one of those basics of being Canadian?

I'm not talking about the storied fishing/racing schooner, although it's interesting your young guy didn't know it!
The story goes that "Bluenoser" came from the blue coloured slickers Nova Scotia fishermen wore. The dye from the slickers would turn the fisherman's noses to blue when they would regularly wipe their noses on their wet sleeves because of the cold damp sea air.
When Intgr8r was down this summer we took the cars for a run to Lunenburg and back.
Be sure to look us up if you're down again this way.
