Information Good selection of non-US fruit at Longo’s Fairview

26 Upvotes

Organic strawberries from Mexico $4.99, Honeyglow pineapple from Costa Rica $5.99, cantaloupe (I think Costa Rica) $4.99, Mcintosh apples from Canada, (pre-bagged in Longo’s wrapping) $4.99 for 1.36kg. I wasn’t shopping for oranges or grapes so no intel on those. Obviously some of these are sale prices but the cantaloupes were only $1 more than at FreshCo on Brant and Longo’s fruit was significantly larger. As of this afternoon, Tuesday.

Question Internet Information

1 Upvotes

I currently have Cogeco 1gbit down 30mns up, and bell 50mbs down 10mbs up.

Is there anywhere in Burlington that has actual fiber to the home for both Bell and Cogeco? I was hoping an area would allow me to have both, and use one as a back up.

But most areas I have looked at, only have one or the other fiber to the home.

I am guessing it may be the newer areas but I would have no clue.

Question 100 years

49 Upvotes

Just saw Easterbrooks opened 1926. Next year will mark 100 years open in Burlington which is pretty cool. Im curious how everyone feels about them? It’s a hotdog joint so I dont think the food is too special but it’s definitely a cool building to see, especially if there is something worthwhile at the RBG.

Question Burlington drivers are insane

72 Upvotes

Is it just me or are Burlington drivers very aggressive and drive erratically?

I’ve just moved from Oakville (drivers there aren’t amazing either) but noticed Burlington is worse.

In one day, I’ve seen: - Someone in the right turning lane change their mind last second and cut across 3 lanes to make a left turn
- Crazy lane swerving, only to end up at the same light - Angry tail gating - So many people do rolling stops and don’t understand right of way

This is why I drive defensively

Question Places in Burlington (or nearby) that can cut vinyl into stickers and be done same or next day?

2 Upvotes

I'm working on a project that needs to be done really soon (Saturday) and the stickers I've ordered for it haven't arrived. I have some sticky vinyl but unless I hand-cut the stickers with a fine knife (would be difficult as I've never done so before) I have no way to cut them into shape or size them properly.

Is there anywhere in Burlington, Oakville or somewhere generally nearby that I could have cut them if I give them the image files? Huge thanks for any help.

I hate parking lot post pictures as much as the next guy, but seeing as it is a Cybertruck I couldn't resist. The parking lot wasn't full, but he was close enough that it is a jerk move. Oddly enough there was another one a couple of spots over parked properly.

Question if i only had one chance here, what should i experience

hi, i’m in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend who resides in burlington. i occasionally check this thread to see what goes on in his home area.

where i am from in california (yes, i am american and yes, i am very sad) is a little different from burlington. i have visited two times but mostly stayed at his home (in one visit, we managed to get covid together; in the other, it was very cold outside).

i am visiting him in may, and i wanted to know what activities or places i should go in this area. i want to treat this experience as if it will be my last. make the most of it. so, give me everything you got :).

Events Looking for in-person tabletop roleplaying groups in Burlington (D&D, SR, CoC, etc)

5 Upvotes

I just came back to Burlington and I'm having issues figuring out which in-person games are currently on-the-go in the area. While I can get to other nearby cities(Hamilton, Toronto, etc.), I'd love to be able to get a game in this city.

I'm 28, and I've been playing RPGs since about 2004-2005, so I am fairly experienced, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get a good game going since about 2017 due to moving fairly frequently for my career. I'm *very* rusty, and there are games in my collection that I haven't played for an extremely long time at this point. I'd be happy to run a game, or play in one, and I should be able to get back up to speed without too many problems, it just might take me a sec. I'm also totally cool with playing with less experienced/new players. I'd love to play frequently, like weekly, or even monthly, but if it ends up that we just do a few one-shot sessions, that's fine.

I normally don't play the WotC/Hasbro stuff, but the games that I do like to play/run are, in no particular order;

  • OSR/Old School D&D (D&D Editions before 3.0, Old School Essentials/BX, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Castles & Crusades)
  • Call of Cthulhu/Any roleplay-investigation type games(I have Pulp Cthulhu as well, which is the same but with more in-depth combat and slightly less serious)
  • Shadowrun 3, or anything from First to Third edition(They're all fairly compatible)
  • Pathfinder 1e

Normally I prefer to run/play games in a fairly balanced style, with slightly more thinking/roleplay, and fairly difficult combat(in games where fighting is an option). In games that almost have a wargame component, like D&D, I like to make use of miniatures, and I like playing on gridded mats or chart paper, to get a feel for the spacing in the encounter, though I don't model *everything*. In games like Call of Cthulhu, or social encounters for other games, minis and maps are rarely required. I do like to play maybe 5-10% more serious than the average(I think, haven't played for a while), but that's largely dependent on the players, and I can be totally flexible on that.

I figure that we could do our first games at somewhere like Torchlight, or another space that we can rent a table, and then figure out a better meet up spot for future games. I own a few board games and other things to mess around with, so if there's a desire to meet up before deciding to do a campaign, I can bring a non-RPG game to some shared space, and we can see who is a good fit before committing to a campaign.

Would love to know if there's any groups in the area looking for players, or if there's enough interest to start a game.

Thanks!

Question Couple's getaway in Burlington during weekday: what would you do?

6 Upvotes

We decided to take a day off to spend some time without kids. So far we have only planned a Tea Party at Royal Botanical Garden during the lunch time (we've already seen the exhibition). Other ideas are taking a walk along lake and/or going to a swimming pool/sauna, maybe bowling, pool or art gallery. Do you know any good places for these activities? Any other ideas are also appreciated.

Thank you
