What would the best apartments be if cost wasn't a factor

I'm genuinely curious, say you wanted to live in the Spring Garden area, and money was of no issue. What apartment building would you dream of living in? Why? Bonus if it's a single bedroom!

The Sunshine List - is there anywhere with a better breakdown on where the pay comes from? some Police Constables make in excess of $200k

I don't know what is considered doxxing and what is not, but I have linked the Compensation Disclosure agreement hosted on halifax.ca where one can look at all employees who make a certain amount. Page 16 has an officer who earns $246,000 and page 5 has an officer at $198,000.

Are they just working a ridiculous amount of overtime or am I in the wrong field?

Loud ringing noise in bedford off douglas drive

There has been a constant Loud ringing that is coming from the Douglas Dr/ Meadowbrook area and it's been happening for months. The ringing is so loud that it cuts through the walls and windows and makes it impossible to sleep. 311 has yet to figure out what it is. Does anyone else hear this or have any idea what this is? or any advice?

Grumblemania Monday

The weekend is over. Leeeeeet's get ready to grumbllllllllllle!

A weekly mega-thread for whatever is grinding your gears, local or non-local annoyances, complaints about the weather/local politicians/fast food nightmares/that guy who cut you off on the way to work, dumb stuff your neighbour did, etc.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

Be careful going home on the circ if you take the Main Street exit, looks like a dump truck lost a bunch of gravel it’s all over the overpass. Especially dangerous for a motorcycle

NWT then responded just now to follow AB

BC announced earlier to no longer do the time change

like, maybe this feels like a house of cards that's already coming down, but is there anyone specific other than Tim Houston to email/call?

Moving - Donating items?

Looking for recommendations around Halifax services.

I’m moving away (bye for now Hali) and am looking to donate items that would otherwise get thrown away, and I hate to waste items.

I would primarily like clothing and household items to go to anyone unhoused that could use them. As i’m not from the area, and many centres and places have not answered my emails, I am at a loss as to what to do. These items are a comforter, towels, sanitary products (tampons, lotions, body wash, etc), and women’s clothes.

If anyone can point me in a direction to donate these items, it would be greatly appreciated. I leave the 24th, so this is on the urgent side of advice.

Morning swimming at John Lindsay YMCA

Started a new job downtown and am considering switching to the Y away from my regular gym, just for convenience.

Wondering if anyone that goes in the morning could tell me, generally, how busy are the swim lanes at 6/7am, and if it's necessary to book a lane through their app, or if it's just drop-in (I downloaded the app and couldn't see anywhere to book lanes, but not sure if that's because I don't have a membership yet).
