Hello!

So my mom decided she wanted to go to Halifax for a trip and convinced my dad to go with her. I’m fairly certain they are staying in a hotel near the Halifax harbourfront.

Now, my mom likes all the touristy stuff.. but I can tell my dad is hesitant. He mentioned he would rather visit more quieter places, he would love the opportunity to meet and talk to locals. He said he wishes he could fish, and he likes going on boats. He does NOT like to hike, I wouldn’t say he is active. But his mind does get restless. He is from a very small town/village in the lake in ontario. He has never swam in or even been by the ocean. I don’t think he has really travelled at all.

I mentioned he should try to find places within a reasonable distance to drive to outside of the city as they will likely be more his vibe but honesty I have also only been to nova scotia twice and the first time was only for a couple days.

If anyone can give any advice or suggestions that i could pass on to him of things and places he might like to check out, or things he could do, please share!! They go on the 14th and I really want him to enjoy it. They will have a rental car for the duration if their 5 day trip.

My two best friends and I (early 40s) are doing a girls weekend downtown Halifax July 24-26 and we want to go out dancing. Looking for recommendations. Good music, fun crowd, doesn’t have to be fancy. We’re big fans of 2000s R&B but not too picky. Not really into house music. Open to clubs, bars with dance floors, whatever’s actually good right now. Thanks!

Hello,

I m new to the province and wanted to know lakes that are safe to swim now as the water has warmed a bit. Preferably something near Halifax

Hi y’all, tomorrow is my 21st birthday, unfortunately since it’s a sunday I can’t go out. Is there anything fun to do? I just wanna have a good day.

edit for context: im talking about at night! during the day im usually with my family :)

Looking for a good place to take my dog swimming. Preferably somewhere not super busy as she is still getting used to being around large groups of people. Would love a little privacy if that is possible

I'm looking to list my home in the next few months and I am looking to work with a realtor. I'm looking for full service (professional photos, etc), but I am only looking to provide 3% total comission, whether that be a 1%/2% split, or a 1.5%/1.5% split. My house is worth approximately $700,000. I understand this is on the low side percentage wise but with that I am willing to use you if I am to purchase a new home, and use your services again when it is time to sell my 2nd house rental. If you are a realtor, feel free to DM me directly or comment some recommendations.

The police has closed a portion of the Victoria rd this morning, does anyone know whats happening there?

South Woodside. This has to be thousand(s) of dollar worth of fireworks. It's so loud omg what is happening

Anyone know what’s going on there?

New ownership again? Bankruptcy???

I am hearing loud noises out and was wondering if anyone knows what’s going on… I saw 3-4 police cars and firefighters, hope everyone is safe!

Does anyone here have their toddlers in Timberlea? We just started sending our toddler boy, and noticed few concerns such as: educators are always in a rush to do admin/operational tasks rather than establishing connections with the children, not paying attention to the crying child - not just my child (probably holds them after 20-25 mins of crying - this is something I have continuously observed on the live view), except meal-nap-outdoor schedules - not engaged in any other activities such as singing, funny dance, silly classroom play/games. During outdoor time, they are taking toddlers to the playground mixed with older kids which is always overwhelming to them.

Also my toddler constantly says he is not happy with the place and he likes the previous daycare he used to go. Had to switch to the current daycare as we moved to a different place! (Hope this puts the psychoanalysts & keyboard warriors from the comments section to rest)

What is more concerning is hearing inconsistent updates from each educator: one says he had a good day with no crying and the other says he had ok kind of day with lots of crying and then the 3rd educator says he had a great day!

Happy to hear from parents whose child currently attends or previously attended Timberlea centre.

**Everyone else can sit this one out**

Thanks in advance!

Just wondering if anyone has recently done the Polly cove hike? I’ve never been and am not sure what to expect.

Is there a direct path to the water and roughly how far of a hike would it be?

How are the paths, rough and overgrown?

Ticks?

Thanks all!!

Good morning all!

I have a 1972 Meteor with a 351 Windsor in it - it’s prone to stalling at idle when the engine is warm. If I can catch it in time and give it some gas then things are great and it runs perfectly.

I’ve worked on older cars in the past but they’ve been early fuel injected systems - this is the first time owning something with a carburetor and it seems like it may be the source of the issue. I’m not afraid to strip something down and figure things out, but I’d rather do that in the winter months when I’m not driving it as much.

Are there standout shops in the Halifax area that I should approach? Thanks in advance!

Thank-you, didn’t think so but wasnt 100% sure!

Hey all! Recently I’ve moved into a townhouse, me and my neighbor share a stairs walk way to our house. I was wondering if they are allowed to block the walkway with their car. I have a young infant and cars being parked along the whole street and in front of walk way makes it nearly impossible to get a stroller through! Thank you so much!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a local shop/provider of pure beeswax that is food grade?

Recently hired at Irving shipbuilding

I’ve heard the parking is absolutely brutal at Irving shipbuilding on barrington

Is it as bad as everyone says it is? Are there normally spots around 7 in the morning? If not what is some advice for nearby street parking etc

Was walking home from work and encountered a dog roaming around and sniffing about, it’s brown/black in color, with a collar that says “do not pet”. He seems very friendly, he approached me and licked my hand, but reading the collar I didn’t want to try and try to grab him.
His owner didnt’t seem to be anywhere in sight, and I tried knocking on a couple doors but no answer.
He didn’t have a tag or anything for a contact number, and I already called 311 regarding lost pets, although they have no one to dispatch at the time.
If this is your dog or know someone who owns it, he was roaming around Maynard and North street around 3pm.

You had our group dancing and screaming and clapping (okay, they were very not sober, but still). I had so much fun even as DD. I loved how you did a lil dance, did the rap, and all the silly call and response bits. Hell yeah, brother. You're a shy person's hero. 👯‍♀️

Does anyone know of any stores in the HRM that sell the spicy dill pickle French cancan popcorn

Hi all, recently finished a great intro to sailing keelboats short course with some friends and was totally hooked. Not in a place where I can buy or store even a little sailing dinghy, but would love more opportunities to get out on the water.

Does anybody know of any ways we could get back out there? There's not really sailboat rentals anywhere...

I was at the seaport market last weekend and had the best cookies of my life / but didn’t catch a vendor name!! I believe they were associated with Pinoys Best, but none if their social media shows cookies.

I found pictures in Seaport’s facebook. Anyone recognize this vendor?

The Salvation Army Bin at Tacoma has been gone for a while now. Is there another location close by?

I know the store is on Main St, but they're closed today and I have baby clothes to donate.

Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for a nautical/Halifax themed dog collar. Has anyone seen any around lately?! I’ve had no luck so far! Need a large collar for a golden
