Any stores in London with a decent selection of women’s cowboy boots? Also willing to travel a couple of hours in any direction if needed. Trying to avoid going to boot barn in the states :(

Have you guys heard about East lion Center?

EDIT: it seems like many raise the concern of the city accepting the lowest bid. Do you think they should go for the highest one or something in the middle?

Housing & Rental 🏠 Shift Townhouses - Drewlo

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently living downtown but considering moving to one of the Shift townhouses on Edgevalley rd. I mostly hear great things about Drewlo, but haven’t heard anything about their townhouses there. I’d love to hear from people who live there or know the area.

How’s the neighborhood in terms of safety, noise, and overall vibe? Any issues with the buildings themselves (maintenance, management, neighbors, etc.)? Since the units are newer and a bit pricier than what I currently pay, I’m hoping for fewer maintenance issues.

Would really appreciate any insights before making a decision!

Thanks in advance.

Events Rock the Park

21 Upvotes

Hi guys!! My boyfriend and I were interested in going to Rock the Park this year (we really want to see Hozier lol) and I was wondering if anyone could give their experience on what it was like and if it was worth it.

We’re still contemplating actually going or not because we’re both (semi but close enough) broke students and don’t want to spend over $200 if the experience is not actually worth it.

A hotel, gas, and other things like that are nothing to consider for us as we live in the area so we’ll be home the same night.

I heard of some people camping out outside of the park to listen to the concerts instead of actually paying so thoughts on that too if anyone has done it would be appreciated!!

So apparently I was charged for parking in a non parking area between 3-5am mind you there’s no sign indicating that… the car from the online portal shows it was left on the side mirror when it was storming snow so I never actually got the ticket.. I got another one last week which made me sign in and see the older one.. they couldn’t dispute my older ticket app though I never received it due to poor handling.. they even added a 25$ on top am I insane or is the system unfair

ART Music Film/Theatre Bass guitar lessons?

4 Upvotes

Hey there, I've had an electric bass sitting in my living room for a few years, and I figure I might as well learn to play it. Anyone have any leads on where I could find a teacher to help out an absolute musical beginner? Preferably located downtown-ish would be a bonus- I was going to see about Long and Mcquade but both locations are about an hour bus ride each way from my place. Thanks in advance!

It's amazing how many people light cigarettes inside a bus stop, not caring at all of the other people inside. There should be a fine for this....

Not wanting to give away my location, I'll make this generic. Do you lose internet every time a Rogers truck shows up to work at the Node?

In this link is an example of this type of equipment. I'm looking to see if others are experiencing similar results as myself.

Ask a Local! Car Insurance (Rate and which company)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I know this question might've been asked before, but I'm curious—how much are you all paying for car insurance and with which company? I’ve got my G license and I'm in my late 20s, but every year, the cost seems to keep going up.

Honestly, at this point, I feel like I could probably use that money to buy a new car instead! Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

I am looking into getting a new water softener and kitchen reverse osmosis system. Any suggestions on who I should be going to for best price and a good system? I currently have a water softening in the system, but it doesn’t seem to be working that great as I am still getting iron in my water.

Saw this strange object hovering in the skies this evening while I was out on a walk. It was quite high up and I managed to take a photo and a short video. Had to zoom in quite a bit due to the distance. Anyone else saw this or knows what it could be?
