Looking for that birthday gift for someone that you have no idea what to get as they have pretty…read moremuch everything I drove past Gold Town and decided to drop in. WOW what a store it seems to be more of a specialty store hence the name Gold Town. Lining that walls like a plate shelf you will find nothing but gold clubs expensive ones did not know that someone would pay that much $$$ for clubs. So I take peek at one of the tags and they were about over $1400 that was not going to happen. In the back of the store there is a gold like simulator (do not remember the name of it) I wanted to try it so bad but did not have the B's to go up there an take a swing. I guess it rates you.lol Off I go looking and searching for a present for the BF and I find myself in the woman section looking of me as there were some really cute things and guess what my size. I got a cute Nike skirt for the summer and top on sale for $45. Though I better pick him up something as I was in there for him. I actually ended up getting him a really nice blue Nike golf shift on sale for $35 and then a gift card so he can go back and pick out something . I do find the store expensive in the terms of cloths and the clubs but hey Tiger can afford it so keep practicing.

Golf, all things golf!…read more What better place to be for a person who loves to golf. (I can't call myself a golfer, yet! because I'm not good, yet!) They have everything. You name something golf, it's there. Clubs, shoes, bags, clothes, accessories. They have simulators to try out new clubs on, or to get lessons on. The prices range from inexpensive to mind blowing, holy crap, who has that kind of money to blow on golf clubs expensive. But i love the place nonetheless. I can spend hours in there swinging clubs, trying to find one that will suit me. If you are a golfer, this is the place for your golfing needs. Check them out, something for everyone!

I'm not here to talk about food quality or presentation of a particular menu item. I'm not here to talk about how awesome it was to build Legos and dress up like pirates (though that was pretty spectacular)... I'm here to talk about running shoes and my experience at the Halifax Shopping Centre Sport Chek. I'm about to run my first marathon (Crazy yes, but oh so needed for this life changing journey) and for the past couple of weeks I've been on the hunt for a new pair of Saucony running shoes (I'm a die hard fan). After being sorely disappointed in Aerobics first (another review possibly?) and Amazon I turned to the clearance blow-out by Cleve's and found a nice pair of running shoes... The only problem? They didn't "POP". This is going to be my first marathon people. Everything needs to look good, feel good and hey did I mention looking good? Meegan and I happen to stop in at another Sport Chek location earlier this week looking for a new running shirt (remember I need to look good while running 42km). They were having a buy one get one half off sale on shoes... We just looked... A day later we found ourselves at the Halifax Centre location with the intent of purchasing not only another pair of Saucony running shoes for me but another pair of athletic shoes for her. There was only one guy working in the shoe department - Jacob. The review is more about him than anything else. After spending a lot of time in the major "running" stores in the area he is by far the most helpful person I've encountered and he's not even a runner (hockey knees!). For someone that doesn't run he has quite the knowledge background and took the time to explain to me all this new talk about 4mm drop (it's a running thing) and about the difference between a stability / neutral/ minimal shoe. At the other "running" stores I sort of got the evil eye for not knowing all the technical terms (I just run...) He spent quite a bit of time going back and forth between shoes for Meegan and me. In the end we both walked away with a pair of shoes that we fell in love with. The store itself was ginormous. Chock full of all kinds of sports equipment and a pretty large clearance section in the middle (I do love a good clearance section). If you get a chance head to the back where the athletic shoes, look for Jacob and try on a pair of Sauconys!

I stuck to the main floor with the clothes, though they do have a second floor with bigger items like tents. I love the set up of the store, though it doesn't seem very friendly for folks who aren't able-bodied with the stairs right at the front entrance. Not super great. The product selection is pretty good, with tons of backpacks and water bottles greeting you as you walk up the stairs to the main floor. The clothing is split between men and women and they seemed to have some pretty decent sales going on. Not going to lie though, I was drawn to the huge selection of socks. A bit weird? Maybe. But there's something so wonderful about a great pair of socks, y'know? Anyway, the Trail Shop is a great independently owned sporting good stores, and if you're in the area I highly recommend checking it out.
