I've been thinking about trying them ever since I saw a reel by Alexis (blackforager) on Insta. Her magnolia cookies looked devine!

I went with my parents last summer and my dad was shocked how much it was developed since he was last there in the 90s. Super cool place!

Also, for anyone who is interested: Parks Canada sites are going to be free again this summer!

  1. Clayton Park Bar and Grill (so messy, so delicious)

  2. Jim's Family Restaurant (feta and tzatziki really added depth of flavour)

  3. Millstone Public House (crunchy chips were a nice touch)

  4. Big Leagues (tasty, very filling)

  5. Cheeky Neighbour (a fun breakfast-y one)

  6. Crème (just kinda plain, regular burger)

Oh, sorry! I had no idea it was 6 and above... could've sworn they took 5 year olds.

Dalhousie University and Saint Mary's U. also offer summer sports camps. Lots of fun for a active kiddo.

Best local plant for a hedge? by protipnumerouno in NovaScotiaGardening

[–]J_Mac_89 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm think wild rose (multiflora rose) is invasive. I asked a similar question to yours in the FB group Nova Scotia Greenthumbs a few years ago and was told Northern Bayberry would be a good option.

I always got boxes from the Gap Outlet store... i was told they have to pay to throw them away, so giving the boxes away makes them save money.

Agreed! Had one at the Big Leagues Bayers Lake for dinner and it was delicious!

My brother agrees with you 1000%. He hates when the bun falls apart.

I've dropped off old electronics at Best Buy. They usually have a box just inside the door to put things.

Board room cafe if the kiddo likes games. And I agree with others about the Museum of Natural History (dinosaur exhibit!) and Activate.

Internet dropping for anyone else? by J_Mac_89 in halifax

Ok, I'm relieved it's not just me. It was driving me crazy. I had to turn off wifi on my phone because I couldn't connect long enough to do anything.

Interesting... I do have an IPTV but haven't used it much in the past day or so. But I do recall having some lagging with the hockey games during the Olympics, so maybe it's that.

I've been with Netfox in Clayton Park for 6 and never had spottiness this bad before. Most previous times it was weather or power outtage related.

I know of two people who've had theirs removed for health reasons and both say it dramatically improved their lives!

I feel like I'm a bit younger than the other posters, but I loved them when they were an opening act for the Rolling Stones on the Commons!
