The Undesirables: A History of Rockhead Prison is the revealing story of Rockhead an imposing structure that was located on Gottingen and Leeds Streets in Halifax.
With the words "City Prison" glaring down at whoever walked by, the edifice stood as warning to those thinking of committing crimes.

Geography is not my best subject.

At the launch of “The Undesirables” some old times jumped at the chance to help Katie locate the prison on a map.

Wanna know what really chaps my ass? When I learn that all the city's financial issues I'm reporting on today were supposed to be solved with amalgamation but weren't because being fiscally unsustainable is way more popular in the short term but I'm sure we'll do better with climate change.

Matt Stickland @landofsticks.bsky.social · 9d

I'm not normally one for nostalgia, but in 1996, the city said making everyone pay for new subdivisions was not fair, so that's why we should use user pay models to make our tax system fair.

Every once in a while I watch Troy, thinking it will get better with age.

It has not.

He once came to my high school to promote cell phones or something. I had no idea who he was, but they pulled out on the stop to greet him, which included our hockey team lining up with their sticks at the entrance.

He also made it into our yearbook for that year.

You know what also helps authors? Libraries!

And you can either request or place The Undesirables on hold at your local branch!
