Historic Properties is this little section/sidestreet by the boardwalk that is differentiated by a small banner on a walkway above the entrance. The area itself has remained, for the most part, unchanged for hundreds of years. The appearance of cheesy shops in the hundred-year old building pictured here--dentists advertising whiter smiles, souvenir shops--kind of make me sad. The new opening of a Baton Rouge restaurant (a huge steak chain in Canada), surrounded by wonderful authentic Nova Scotia restaurants and shacks makes me downright irate. But, somehow, the quaintness, tranquility and beauty of this little spot--this little cove away from the frenzy or tourists--was somehow kept.
