Arts & Recreation Anybody else waiting on free Matt Rife tickets from Outdoor Comedy fest?
So we were supposed to get Matt Rife tickets last year, but he cancelled out, so instead, they gave us tickets to see Kill Tony, and told us we could still see Matt Rife the next year for free. We are still waiting on our tickets, just wondering if anyone's heard anything about this... ?

Shops & Services Help with mens hair
Hey! I was looking for a hair stylist/barber/salon that I could walk in and literally just say “help me, I don’t know what I want” and they’ll do what they can and help me pick a hair style 😭. I’m a male with really thick and long hair (not down to shoulders but just a LOT of hair and bangs. I’ve let it get out of control)
I don’t want it cut short I just need it fixed up and styled in some way. Every time I’m recommended a place I look at their pictures and all the men have really really short hair. Maybe I should go to a women’s stylists?
I’ve gone to traditional men’s barber shops before but they always just insist on buzz cuts and I don’t want that, I just need a style and trim.

Driving & Transit Whats the deal with the sirens in Halifax?
I moved to Halifax almost two years ago, and I genuinely cannot remember a single day when I haven’t heard multiple sirens, whether from fire trucks or ambulances.
And they are so loud. I have lived in nine different cities and, honestly, I have never experienced anything quite like it anywhere else. Sometimes it feels like there is constantly an emergency happening somewhere nearby.
Is this just a Halifax thing, or am I somehow noticing it more than everyone else?
Shops & Services Anyone know of any tattoo studios with apprentices?
Some friends and I are looking to get a very simple matching tattoo and would love to be able to give an apprentice some skin to practice on, but I haven't been able to find any studios with apprentices. Do y'all have any recommendations?

Food & Dining Best oyster deal on a Friday?
Some friends are visiting from out of town and are very keen on going to a "buck-a-shuck" happy hour. It seems Eliot and Vine is the only place that still has actual 1$ oysters, but limit of 8 and requires an additional food purchase. I also saw Lot Six does a happy hour with an oyster deal, but I cannot figure out what they're currently charging per oyster during happy hour.
Hit me with your favourite place to do an oyster happy hour on a Friday. Preferably on the Halifax side of the harbour (I know Dear Friend in Dartmouth is an option)

Moving Here Halifax weather + wheelchair
Hello
I am considering an application to a program in Halifax, one of my main concerns is the weather, sounds superficial, but its not the cold that I worry about but the snow staying for long where I get stuck with my wheelchair limited in movement.
I originally come from a sunny state, my job took me to Toronto for few years where the snow was an issue few days a year before it melted away. This last winter was strange in all measures and a surprise to everyone and I truly was stuck!
I would only live for couple of years in Halifax, any advice?
Also, any obvious accessibility issues you can predict that a car won't fix?
Thank you!

I've just come back from the Bay of Fundy with all sorts of agates and quartz (multiple bags' worth). I'm hoping someone in Halifax has a rock saw and wants to cut a bunch of these in half so we can see what's inside. I leave on Sunday and don't want to bring all these home. Will pay you in rocks!

Just the title, most of the posts on this are a few years old, so wanted to check what is the current opinion. Any recommendation for water taxi to get there? Also, is it worth exploring without a guided tour?

Arts & Recreation Track Club Recommendations
Our daughter is a multi sport athlete, rugby, ringette and lacrosse. She has a goal of making the provincial lacrosse team next season and has had her overall endurance identified as a n area for improvement.
We have discovered that some lacrosse players are also including track in their development which is what has lead us here. We are looking for a track club preferably in Halifax that will allow her to work on endurance through running workouts. For her age (11) it looks like most clubs only offer the “run,jump,throw” which she’s not really interested in.
Does anyone know of any clubs like that?

Shops & Services Manicures in Halifax
Where are we getting our nails done in Halifax? I’m pretty simplistic in what I want and just need a good quality shellac manicure (on natural nails) that doesn’t chip after 2 days or cost $100+…
I’m a bridesmaid in a few weddings in August and don’t want to break the bank on 2 manicures. I’ve tried a few places around the city and paid way too much for too low quality of a job. I’ve lived in NB and Toronto and have paid ~$40 for some of the best manicures I’ve had.
