Sparkled Beauty

My local readers, Taste of Argyle starts today and goes on all weekend 12-8pm.

Treat your eyes with that beautiful argyle pattern on the street, your ears with live band music and your mouth with street food from various restaurant in the area.

Also, Lawtons at Halifax Shopping Centre has moved over next to Victoria's Secret with a store front open out to the street. A lot nicer than the back corner they had before.
