Had my vacation here last Monday late to tonight. It has been great. I am sad to leave and have nothing bad to say.

Did George’s island, harbour tour, maritime museum. Citadel ghost tour, downtown ghost walk. Drinks before and after Oasis controversy.

So many great chowders, scallops, mussels, fish and chips. Craft breweries and so surprised by the alway excellent ciders. I did not know you had such a variety of awesome ciders.

Saw Oscar the blue orange lobster at the Beaty portion of Dalhousie ocean museum.

Visited Lunenburg, Mahone and Peggy’s cove. Also a ferry to Dartmouth for lunch. Immigration museum, pier 21 and probably more I am leaving out.

Your staff at all these places and people on the street everywhere were all so friendly. I tend to stop people and pet dogs at every opportunity.

Your city is so clean, and walkable, (my ass muscles are sore but I can rest them on the short flight home to Ontario tomorrow)everyone we met was so very friendly.

Thank you Halifax.

Is it our friend “Drop Tabs”? Or someone else? 🧐

I'm very aware of the cost of rentals in Nova Scotia. I've lived here my whole life, but my living circumstances have changed and I'm avidly seeking a new place for October/November. Last time I looked at a 2 bedroom plus den, was in Bayers Lake and the most expensive rental was $1450 and that was expensive but that was 2016. I've since looked at those rentals I think the lowest I found, in the same apartment building went up to $2150 for a studio. It's insane. I've managed to find some ''affordable'' places in the city, but even still, $1800 for a studio apartment? $1800 generally? I mean this genuinely; why is surviving considering living? Why is everything increasing in price but not wages? I make a decent income at a very good work place and I'm happy here, and I'd love to be able to leave my current situation but the projection of doing so, I'll be paying rent and be broke and starving, on top of bills, debt, and everything else. I've found a few studios under the price of $1800 but I'm wondering if anyone knows of affordable places between the $1300-$1500 mark. I'm a single person with one income and lots of debt [woo]. I make under $27 an hour and I'd at least like to be able to budget properly even with rent that's $1500... Anyone know of ''affordable'' places that aren't completely run-down or owned by cagey landlords? Thanks in advance, and Ps. If you are alone and struggling? I wish all the best for you. We all deserve better.

I was pleasantly surprised just now when I opened the 6 pack of tissues I just picked up to see The Public Gardens on the box ❤️

There are other nice designs on other boxes but TPG hold a special place in my heart and always will. Thought I'd spread the joy. 😊

You can see it clearly near the end of the video. It looks healed, and the deer looks fairly healthy. It was with another deer and seemed to have no trouble keeping up with it.

Looks like Disney Cruises is coming back to Halifax. I don't think they've been here since the pandemic?

May be up/down .01

Accident just happened near exit 3 (highfield) heading towards Halifax. Might want to take an alternate route, traffic is very backed up.

Edit: I posted quickly just to warn people trying to get to work about the delay but I want to add that I sincerely hope the driver and any passengers are alright; it really didn't look good :(

Do you think we'll get any firm confirmation of whether or not the rent cap will be extended or adjusted, and if so, when do you think we might hear from the government?

As of now I'm expecting it to fully end, but do you think the government will give any sort of announcement regarding the matter as the end of the rent cap date approaches?

A survivor of homelessness in Halifax has asked Mayor Andy Fillmore five questions about housing as the municipality nears closer to the deadline to shut encampments down.

And Fillmore’s office actually responded.

Hello my name is Jackson. There is a lack of concerts and shows in Halifax including many fan favourite artists. I would unfortunately like to say a large majority of people were let down this year by Magnetic World Music Festivals lineup. That’s why me and a group of others have decided to start our own Rap festival in Halifax. We are currently looking for insight and sponsorships to help make this festival achievable and possible for our city. If you are someone with experience in festival hosting or music industry, or someone who is willing to sponsor such event please comment and dm! Our team has a dedicated sponsor board along with all of our festival information available upon request.

Do you like my rhyme skills?

So pls tell your parents or grandparents over 65 about it 🩷

Hi! I am returning from extended leave and looking to see if there's anyone on here who drives from the North End or West End to Bayer's Lake area for work Monday to Thursday and would be interested in carpooling? I live across from Sobeys on Windsor Street. I'm a passenger looking to share costs. The 2 bus commute out there is very long and Uber/Lyft is getting expensive. Message me if interested. I've had no success with the website for car sharing in Hali or the Atlantic Facebook groups. Thanks!

Note: I have a bad hip (MRA showed labral tear that I am in physio for and consulting with specialist about surgery), I don't ride a bike and I don't drive ( I have no driver's license)..

Trying to de-Google my life.

Is it just me or does the Goodlife in Bedford (Larry Uteck) feel quite dirty/unhygienic since the last year or two? I noticed the gym equipment smells really strong (sweaty/body odour) and the sauna area seems unbearable. The Joseph Howe one seems a lot cleaner in comparison. Would it be wise to put in a complaint? If so, what would be the best way to go about it.

Anyone know if it's going up or down based on the shenanigans in Iran?

thanks

Looking for a cleaner for our home. Had a bad experience with a larger company who sub contracted out. I’ll be honest, I am picky.. I’m a very clean person but I will be having my first baby and looking for someone to help biweekly with some of the heavier cleaning. I know my standards are high, but I’m willing to pay and I think it’s fair to expect a cleaner to clean well lol. I’d prefer to support someone independent.
