There is a certain charm of old, half-forgotten towns in rural Nova Scotia. They used to be important, even powerful – they had regular shipping lines for sailships and steamships; a railway. But the world slowly changed, passed them by. They deteriorated, lost a lot of young people in search of better opportunities. Grand buildings decayed, many churches emptied. Now they try to regain some of the old glory. Mostly through tourism. But the charm never left.
