It is very common to see articles with a vague "stuggling downtown core" narrative of the kind you also see in writing about Rust Belt cities. For example (from July 6): http://www.ns.dailybusinessbuzz.ca/P...town-core%3F/1

Despite downtown Halifax’s struggle over the years, Fillmore is confident it will rise again.

Normally the comments are even worse than this -- many people really do believe that Halifax's downtown has nothing to offer and is in terminal decline.
