The new eatery is all about local for the pair. The café was renovated by local contractors and many of the items in the café have been purchased or made locally, including shelves, countertops, chairs, and even custom made charcuterie boards.

The menu will have a local flair, with as much of it being sourced from local farms and establishments as possible. Even the bread will have local ingredients – Hell Bay Brewing Company is providing spent yeast for bread. Eventually, the owners would like to have a liquor license and sell local suds.

Tickets $15

The Nicholoadians Theatrical Society (TNTS), a not-for-profit theatre group, is presenting Godspell, a high-energy rock musical based on the Gospel of Matthew, and is full of songs, laughter, and stories.

Liverpool - Perfect for Retirees & Semi-retirees

2013-07-05T08:00:00.000-03:00

Liverpool's laid back lifestyle is attracting more and more residents 'from away' with new cultures and languages blending with those of the long term residents that can be traced back many generations. It is a community unmarked by factories offering organic farms and traditions of yesteryear that blends with the new. It is a part of Nova Scotia where countless home based businesses support the community.

Liverpool lies in the heart of a community where there are lakes abound - where early morning fog drifts over the warm water, where the Atlantic laps the shore in a loving caress, where the setting sun casts long shadows on beaches where the only footprints are one's own, where it is easy to get drawn into the peace and tranquility and where the cares of the world are far, far away.

Come for a visit, but be prepared to stay for a

Happy Canada Day

2013-06-30T08:41:00.000-03:00

July 1st 2013 is the 146th anniversary of Canada's confederation

It was once said, "Canada Day, like the country, is endlessly decentralized. There doesn't seem to be a central recipe for how to celebrate it—chalk it up to the nature of the federation," but celebrate it we do.

HAPPY CANADA DAY........ our day, to celebrate together.

Dear Canada - We Love Liverpool, Nova Scotia

2013-06-28T08:00:00.000-03:00

Dear Canada

Liverpool is a little town on the south shore of Nova Scotia. It is the perfect place for retirees and semi retirees who are looking for a quiet, laid back old fashioned feel, where it is safe to walk out after dark, where your beach for the day is a 5 minutes drive and the streets are tree lined with old growth that cast dappled patterns on old Victorian homes . The climate - is mild, mild, mild with four season.
Happy Canada Day.

So when are you coming?

Sincerely yours,

Liverpudlian

Privateer Days - Liverpool

2013-06-14T08:00:00.000-03:00

LIVERPOOL PRIVATEER DAYS

DATE: June 21st to June 23rd 2013

LOCATION: Liverpool Nova Scotia

An event that pays tribute to our Privateering past while never losing its sense of fun.

Privateers were privately owned ships that were authorized by government to raid ships from other countries—a form of legalized piracy on the high seas. The men who served aboard these ships were referred to as "privateers."

Liverpool quickly emerged as one of British North America's leading privateering ports, eventually deploying more privateer vessels than even the much larger city of Halifax. Ships like the Lucy, the Rover, and the Liverpool Packet gained international renown for their workmanship and speed, and the prowess of their crews inspired respect and fear.

Events include MUSIC / ENTERTAINMENT / BEER TENT

Thomas Fall - Liverpool NS Boxer

2013-06-07T08:00:00.000-03:00

Tommy Falls with his mom, Reta.

Thomas Fall was born in Liverpool on July 24,1916. He was the oldest of 8 children born to Tom Sr and Reta (Harper) Falls. Like for many young men in Liverpool, at that time, boxing became a passion for him. While serving in the army, he won the Canadian Army Boxing Championship 1940-41. After the war ended, Tommy and his wife returned to Canada and made their home in Montreal. Their children include sons Thomas, Randolph and Derrick. One day in September 1948, Tom was arrested by the Montreal Police and beaten to death. It should be noted that, at the same time, Tommy's father Tom Sr was in Liverpool battling cancer and he died in November of the same year. Tommy was buried in Pte. Claire, Quebec a few days after his death. He is buried in the Field of Remembrance, a military cemetery operated by the Last Post Fund.
