Welcome
Welcome to the Bluenose Chronicles. First off, this is not a blog about the Bluenose sailing ship or its replica the Bluenose II. Although perhaps there will be an article or two about those. Instead, this is a blog about yesterday's Nova Scotia. A place to share memories, stories, and photos of the people and places of urban and rural Nova Scotia throughout the years.
