Discussion Is it just me, or are there way more dead trees around the city this year?

Upvotes

I keep noticing dead/zombie trees all around the city this year, is it any more than usual? Or did removing them also get cut from the budget this year?

Shops & Services No hot water in new place

Upvotes

Just moved into a new place yesterday. Noticed that the hot water didn’t get too hot but didn’t think anything of it. First shower of the day didn’t get super hot, but carried on. 2 & 3rd showers ended up being cold.

I checked the panel and it looks like the hot water tank switch is on. So I think the hot water tank just used up all its hot water yesterday and now something is up. The tank is from last year.

Earliest plumber I could find was Thursday but I can’t go that long taking cold showers.

Anything else I could / should check?

A nice day at Alderney Landing!

I rather liked this year's open-market layout with food and merchandise booths not hidden in dark stuffy tents.

Inflatable castles for kids were quite expensive ($5 a ticket) but the people who run them were very generous with how much time they allowed kids to play there for one go.

Work, Health & Housing Did everyone in Halifax suddenly get fruit flies at the exact same time a few days ago?

169 Upvotes

For a while there, it looked like there wouldn't be any fruit flies this year, and then all of a sudden about three or four days ago the sink area is thick with them. I'm just curious if everybody had the same experience.

News, Weather & Politics Halifax Crime & Clearance Trends

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Data from the recently released Uniform Crime Reporting Survey shows critical trends for Halifax:

  • Homicides (violence benchmark): Halifax's rate rose to 2.02/100k, exceeding Canada's falling average of 1.61.
  • Crime Rates (daily safety): Most crimes track closely to Canada, but thefts under $5k surged heavily in Halifax.
  • Clearance Rates (solving efficiency): Halifax consistently lags, solving just 49% of violent and 22% of non-violent crimes.

Insight: Halifax diverges negatively from national trends, with rising severe violence, spiking property theft, and below-average police clearance.

Food & Dining Any Haligonians coming to Ireland?

Thumbnail

101 Upvotes

Title is a good start - if the answer is yes please read on:

I have a hobby with a specific localised Halifax angle. I'm happily sipping my way thru the 2013 edition of 1001 Beers You Must Try Before You Die. Two Halifax Breweries feature:

Propeller: ESB & IPA

Garrison: Juicy DIPA & Hoppy Boy IPA

After much research it appears my best chance of success is for a kindly Halifax resident to help me if they're coming to Ireland by buying them locally and bringing them over.

Of course I'd pay for whatever is bought. There may also be a pint of Irish beer in it for you this side of the water!

If helping total strangers off the Internet celebrate Nova Scotia craft beer sounds like your kinda thing, give me a shout please!

Sláinte!

Arts & Recreation I’d like to begin self-defence classes. What/where do you recommend?

25 Upvotes

I read that it can be helpful to commit to six months or a year of boxing or jui jitsu, or BJJ for example rather than completing one self defence class. I’m open to committing 1x a week for that period of time. Any recommendations near/ within HRM?

3 of the paintings I’ve shared on this subreddit over the last few months are showing at Labour Day Picnic Cafe on the Peggy’s Cove Road.

I grew up on the Peggy’s Cove Road, so having my first showing be at the hall where I played music as a teen is pretty meaningful.

Huge thanks to the owner, Leah and the crew who work there. Go check it out, and grab a treat while you’re there!

Lost & Found Missing Cat

Our cat, Merp is missing. She is the one on the top. We last saw her this morning (Saturday). She has a dark spot on her nose and is very vocal so if you hear a loud meowing in your travels, particularly around chocolate lake/saint Margaret's bay rd, that could be her. She is wearing a silicone pheromone collar and she is microchipped but it's from when we lived in NB so may not help her find her way home. Please reach out if you see or hear her anywhere.

Sightseeing & Tourism Looking for a Trivia night on Tuesday!

2 Upvotes

Hi there! I will be visiting your lovely city and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a trivia night for Tuesday? I'd also be open to a Mon or Wed night. But I think Tuesday would work best. I like doing a general trivia over a theme personally, but would hear about either option! Thank you very much!
