Talk about a great reuse of mass marketing excess. The "Essentially English Bakery & Cafe" in Hantsport, Nova Scotia, was underperforming as a fast food drive through (Tim Hortons franchise) that has since been transformed into one of the sweetest little community hubs I've found in a long time.

I've just started with Skylight, and this is the first post I see, and I'm Canadian, rolling with it. A Southern Man, speaking truth about the South. Then he gets to "Sweet Home Alabama".

As advanced primates we are all equal to one another and before the law. Race. Politics. Gender. Faith. All these are superficial to DNA. Humans have a right to exist. Nations do not; they just take what they can get away with.
