Best Getaway Within an Hour of the SuperCity

What do you do on a Saturday afternoon in July when it's like a sweaty jail cell in your apartment and Spring Garden Road is bereft of all but the tourists? You hop in a car, anybody's car, and drive an hour and a bit to glorious Peggy's Cove. This type of getaway makes you forget you ever lived in the city, and a little bit sorry when you remember you do.
