I do have to agree with Qwerty420. I recently relocated here from the west coast. And I find the scene here far from great.
The closest decent sized city to me out west was Victoria, which is smaller than Halifax, yet there seems to be many more SP’s along with some decent massage shops that are non existent in Halifax.
The equivalent to Lyla out there is PERB and there is far more relevant information for someone new or visiting the city than there is for Halifax. That’s not a knock on Lyla, just more information for a visitor or newbie on PERB.
Any way bottom line, for whatever reasons are at play I fully agree with the title of this discussion.
