Those late fees really add up!

Investing in downtown public space is vital to civic life, but the trend toward stuffing similar amenities into private developments isn't the same thing. We need to transform downtowns into mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhoods to navigate current trends. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Honestly think Scene+ app must contain nuclear launch codes. Every second day you need to get a 6 digit authentication code, change anything requires 95 verifications, have never seen an app more unfriendly in the name of security.

Please note that our location inside Halifax Public Gardens will be closed until further notice.

I was talking with a friend earlier today who said she felt so much safer walking alone when she lived in Toronto- that Halifax feels LESS safe at night. We agreed that without late night corner stores and other businesses there are no witnesses, no ppl around, hence scarier.

Disappointing big brother move by HRM. Convenience stores are one aspect of complete communities, reduce the need to drive for everything and give kids a safe place to go. Are they loud sometimes? sure, but you think they’re going to be quiet because you took away the pizza??

Two news outlets, reporting on identical news releases - right beside each other on Twitter. Not sure the two posts could be any more different from each other.

Please note our location in Halifax Public Gardens is closed due to flooding from yesterday’s rain. This is the third flood in the building since reopening only a month ago. We are awaiting a plan from hfxgov to address this issue.

Important reminder! ⁠⁠Please stay away from coastal areas including the rocks, lighthouse area, viewing deck, and boardwalk at Peggy’s Cove, and Halifax and Lunenburg waterfronts until the storm ⁠surge and high winds have subsided #hurricanelee #nsstorm #mywaterfrontns

Update 11:35 a.m. Police are receiving reports of motorists driving to the coast to watch the waves. This action is putting themselves at risk along with First Responders in the event of rescue attempts. RCMP are advising motorists to stay off the roads.

While we work to keep areas safe from the storm, please respect all barricades and avoid the Halifax waterfront.

SAFETY: -Peggy's Cove remains closed to the public. Stay away from all shoreline areas. They still pose an extreme risk, especially during the peak tide period. -Other areas of significant concern: Eastern Shore and the Bedford, Halifax & Dartmouth waterfronts.

-Security & police presences have increased on the Halifax waterfront. Respect posted signage & barriers. Area is extremely dangerous. -Stay off the roads for non-essential travel. There are downed trees & powerlines. Many shoreline roads are now closed due to washouts

Huge shoutout to The Carleton who texted tonight to remind me that I bought tickets months ago for Irish Mythen - fantastic performance in the most intimate venue in Canada!
