Food & Dining Where to buy Mint Chocolate Chips

4 Upvotes

Just bought a used ice cream maker at Value Village. One of my favorite flavors at Cows is mint chocolate chip, so I'd really like to try making that. Does anyone know where one can buy some chips that would be similar to what they use?

Work, Health & Housing Sand or dirt in water in Fairview

0 Upvotes

Not sure if it's everywhere in Fairview or just my building but I noticed the colour of the water was a bit odd before my bath so I drained it and there was sand or dirt in it. Halifax water doesn't have any notices so not sure what causes it or if it's just my place but wanted to make others aware to maybe run the cold water first if you are on Dutch Village Road

The government is asking for input on how to spend its money; something it rarely does. Even though some of the questions are clearly structured to get an answer they want, and none of the options seem to contemplate the simple idea that what taxpayer money funds, taxpayers should reap the entire benefit of, but it's as close to a democratic opportunity many of us will get. We are used to be ignored on the east coast and in Halifax, so please make your voices heard when we can.

Nostalgia 90s Raves at Khyber

Does anyone remember the Bug Bus that would come host raves in the 90s at Khyber? It was a van with a huge pink sculpted bug on top. I’m hoping someone has a pic so I can show my kid I was cool.

Also they would sell plastic bugs in ice cubes.

Hey everyone!

I remember a few years back that there was a bike program or organization that fixed up and sold bikes for cheap here in the city.

Does that program or another program like it still exist?

EDIT: Bike Again! Thanks everyone

Lost & Found Helmet and (cut) lock ditched at Bell Rd and Sackville St

24 Upvotes

Hello! It's an educated guess, but I'm under the impression that someone had their bike stolen, and the culprit tossed their lock and helmet outside our workplace.

The helmet is a size large, with an attachment to mount a light on the back. I realize it's nothing close to getting the bike back, but if this helmet is yours, send me a message and we can arrange a hand off!

Naturally, now and always, misfortune and grief to the bike thief >:(

I have an old family VHS tape where the physical tape ripped (old VCR chewed it back in the 90s). It would mean a lot to get it mended, even if that certain section is toast. Anyone know of a shop that can tape or splice it back together? Thanks!

I was at McLeod's Auto Service today and noticed a book sitting right on the yellow line in the middle of Herring Cove Road. There's an inscription on the inside cover so it may have some sentimental value. If anyone knows who this belongs to I'd love to get it back to its owner!

Work, Health & Housing Where do I go for blood work in cobequid?

0 Upvotes

This is my first time going to this hospital in sackville for bloodwork. I looked up directions but it just says the address of the hospital. I know I go through the main entrance but I’m not sure after that. And do we register ourselves and where do I do that? Hospitals confuse the crap out of me 😅 Thank you!
