It appears to be pretty quality too! I hope no one with a Randy’s hat tries to roll me for wearing the wrong colours in the neighborhood.

Is there any apartment in Halifax with underground parking (ideally heated/covered)?

My car is starting to rust itself into another dimension 😭 I’d really like to avoid leaving it outside all winter.

Any buildings/areas you’d recommend? Bonus points if you’ve actually lived there and can speak to the parking situation.

Thanks!

I’ll start by saying, I have not lived in or near a major Canadian city in about 10 years, but my family and I do frequent Halifax for both pleasure and medical appointments about 6 times a year - when I used to work in Halifax I would often recognize homeless people, some I would be concerned about if I hadn’t seen them in more than a week. As a male, I’ve never once felt unsafe around homeless or transient people, and any real interaction has always been positive.

Today was different. My wife, our son, and I were at the IWK for a full day of appointments. We decided to walk down to e-joy during a 2hr break between appointments. We’re about to cross South Park Street to Clyde St, and I purposefully avoided walking through Victoria Park because I was unsure of what we might encounter, low and behold a topless female, guessing in her 60’s, is yelling at random people that she is allowed to be topless - mind you, from what I can tell no one is interacting with her. What actually caught my attention is that she (who looked and sounded like a man until she turned and faced me) was making a threat to a lone elderly lady.

We have no where to go but cross the street and for some reason she targets us, yelling that I am a pervert for looking in her direction, my wife is a pedophile for “touching” our son (guiding him as parents do to steer him away) - I made sure my wife and son stayed a fair ways ahead of me, while the woman continued to follow and yell, I kept looking back because I didn’t trust her behind me. We never verbally responded to her at all.

Eventually we crossed Clyde and she sat down by the NSLC and continued to yell at random people.

My son, who is old enough to understand everything that was going and being said, was visibly distraught by the whole thing. Unfortunately while in Toronto earlier this year, while walking, my son and I happened upon a man naked from the waist down sitting in a puddle trying to make eye contact with passersby while pointing at his genitals… but at least that person was seemingly “Harmless” and easily avoided.

This is the first time I’ve ever been followed and felt a bit threatened, or would potentially need to physically defend my family and I.

Obviously this person was not in an ideal mental state - but those of you that presumably encounter this daily, how do navigate this? Do you report it? Do you respond? Do you ignore it? Do you accept it as “normal”?

Edit: Fixed some typos.

I just moved here from Kelowna. I’m just wondering about the lack of Uber Eats drivers are here like I normally tip pretty well I tip $6 to $15 depending on KM. But it seems like it doesn’t matter how much you tip because when I open the Uber app there are multiple cars and then I can get an Uber driver within two minutes but when I try to Uber Eats, so why does it have to take me over 30 minutes to have food and it comes cold or tampered.

It’s ridiculous and some of us aren’t able to drive due to conditions to get the food we want.

Edit: they canceled my order.

Hello! Does anyone in the area breed/sell rosy boas?

Quick look on NSLC looks like the spirits i am looking for will not be available there. Does anybody know where i can buy obscure spirits within HRM and/or Nova Scotia?

The one listing on marketplace is apparently sold out any help would be great

I was looking at new vehicles on Steele’s web sites over the weekend and on Sunday decided to visit a few of the closed dealerships to see certain ones they showed. I was surprised to find mostly a cluttered mess on the lots and very little of what I expected to find. For example, the GM dealer lot on Portland St was jammed up with Hyundais for some reason. I presume they must have a storage lot somewhere that holds their inventory. Anyone know where that might be?

I really enjoy pineapple and am in search of the best place to buy them.

So far, the best place I have come across are Pete's Frootique and Kingswood Market.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Thank you

Why havent there been any updates on this case? I just remembered it and upon searching it appears there is nothing new. Does anyone know what is going on with this trial?

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.

Trying to de-Google my life.

This letter was sent to all families of students who qualify for bus passes today.

TL;DR - Bus passes are coming via HFXGO app "in the coming days".

Families,

You are receiving this message because your child is eligible for transportation under the Provincial School Transportation Policy.

The Halifax Regional Centre for Education provides transit passes for students attending five schools where public transit is a more practical transportation option than yellow school buses.

This year, student transit passes will be provided through Halifax Transit’s mobile fare payment app, HFXGO. Information about the rollout and how students can access their pass will be shared in the coming days.

Current student transit passes will remain valid until September 11, 2026. Students who require a replacement pass before that date may pick one up from their school office.

If you have any questions about your child's transit pass or student transportation services, please contact transportation@hrce.ca.

Thank you,

HRCE Transportation Team

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.

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.

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

Hi everyone,
I’m about to start work at 99 Wyse Rd, but every time I drive by, I see a group of people there doing injections in public in the parking lot.

Why are they at that particular location and does anyone have any experience with working there?

Thanks for your insight!

I was a Bunz user back before they went through major issues…just got this message and they’re making a comeback, or at least trying to. Used to be an amazing alternative to Facebook marketplace…I really hope they fixed the issues cause fb is literally the worst.

Here’s a message from the Bun team they sent out
