I've lived in a couple of places in Kits and in both cases there were neighbors that were very clearly only occupying their home seasonally. The rest of the year it would be lights off.
I mean I love Kits but I didn't think of it as a "summer home" location, figured the Sunshine Coast or Gulf islands make more sense for that.
Is this a thing?
I noticed this every weekend and even weekdays, people just leaving trash where they sat at parks and beaches. What's the deal with this?
Saw some positions i qualify for, wondering how the work atmosphere is.
For me, it was New Years Eve at The Naam. 5am, the place is packed. Everyone in costumes. Music pumping. Vegetarian dishes flowing out of the kitchen. Two thirds of the people stoned on mushrooms. Probably the servers too. Only in Vancouver.
What’s your moment that couldn’t happen in any other city in the world? Keep it positive
Looking for some cozy/romantic but lowkey restaurant recommendations for an upcoming day trip to Van! My partner and I have only been to Van together once before, so we are super unfamiliar with what restaurants the city has to offer, and it has been quite overwhelming trying to find something ourselves. Excited to hear recs and what would be worth trying. Cheers !
My wife and I are staying in Vancouver next week near English Bay Beach and we always try to go to at least one nice meal in a new city when travelling. Budget is not restrictive but it doesn't necessarily need to be super upscale. Just looking for places in the area you love! Open to any kind of cuisine. A little researching told me Noah's Cafe was a good spot, but looking for additional options as well. Thank you!!
Title.
I was wondering, though: I have another friend who has a boat. Would it not be possible to go out in the boat to the same area ourselves? Does anyone know where the tours usually go?
It’s been closed for days…
Hi there!
I’ve searched the group already and am looking for updated info. I need to find a self-serve car wash to wash my very small (14 feet long) camping trailer. I’m in East Van but happy to go to any of the surrounding areas like Burnaby, North Van, Coquitlam, etc.
To be clear, I need a bay with the hoses and brushes where I do the washing myself, not a drive through wash. My trailer won’t fit and they’d never let me go through with it anyhow, nor would I want to.
I used to go to the place on Royal Oak but last time I was there, which admittedly was a couple years ago now, it was not good. The token machine kept eating my money, the guy there yelled at me when I brought out some of my own smaller brushes to get the gaskets, etc around the windows and said I had to use the brushes they had, the brushes they had were worn down to the nub and filled with sand and gunk that was scratching up the surface of my trailer, and I can’t remember how much it cost but it was something super high for a very small amount of time. I haven’t been back since but I wonder if anyone can tell me if it’s gotten any better?
Also wondering about the place in Coquitlam that I’ve seen talked about here? Yes/no?
Any other recommendations without having to take it all the way out to the Fraser Valley?
Thanks!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to dispose of old vibrators that don’t work anymore. I tried researching whether Vancouver has a special program for sex toys and it seems like we don’t, but I also read that you can’t throw rechargeable vibrators into the garbage because it could potentially cause a lithium battery fire in the dump truck… so what do we do with them? Do I keep them until I die and let my estate deal with it?
Is anyone else in the Metro Vancouver region feeling tired and fatigued these days? I'm not sure if it's weather related or having a mid-life crisis or work stress.
I don't really find my work stressful but sometimes I work overtime. At times I find the work meaningless. No work drama or toxic workmates whatsoever. When I get home I just wanna just take a shower and lie in bed.
I kind of find everything meaningless and tiring. The sun and heat is also pissing me off. I wasn't like this last month even though there were some hot days.
Is anyone feeling worn out and fatigued too? Or is it just all in my head and every thing is just hunky dory?
I’m curious about the laws on drinking in limos; I’ve been in a limo a few times in Ontario where we’ve popped a bottle of champagne but every company in Vancouver says in big bold lettering on their website and in their emails that NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED and if everyone has any open alcohol everyone will be kicked out.
I’m just wondering how firm this is, if it’s just something they have to say but they’ll pretend they don’t see, which companies might be more lax than others (dm me- don’t rat them out publicly haha). Would hate for myself and my bridesmaids to end up on the side of the road minus a bottle of Veuve and calling Ubers to my wedding!
I’m going to get right into it. I lack motivation and if you leave it to me I would not lift a dumbbell. I’m getting older and starting to lose muscle mass. I don’t know where to start. I’ve asked my friends about yoga and Pilates and they said it won’t help me. I just need to start lifting weights. My only form of exercise now is walking for about 20 minutes on non rainy days. I can’t afford a personal trainer. What are my options?
Trying to figure out if I want to check it out, and if so what the best timing is. Wait for a rainy day? Can do weekdays but not in September. From what I've seen/heard, there are long lines for few thrill rides so not sure, but would like to experience the coasters. Appreciate any insights, thanks!
Hello all,
I was listening to the Move 103.5 morning show and I swear it was a repeat of a show they did last week (?) talking about young adults not looking for love because they're broke followed by a repeat would you rather. Am I hallucinating? Or did they repeat a previous show/segment?
Asking as I’m coming over from the island, already own a ton of Jays gear, but don’t make the trip often enough to convince myself it’s worth buying a Canadians jersey.
I’m assuming yes as I’ve seen it at WCL games, I don’t want to be the odd one out though 😅 Thanks!
All I want these days is to go to a bar and drunkenly demolish a couple warm, buttery smash burgers. I know of zero places in town that offer this experience (it’s all fast food or expensive artisanal burgers on a pretzel bun). Can anyone recommend a greasy local bar that will sell me a delicious burger and a beer?
Looking for the best most succulent Korean Chinese black bean noodle dish called jjajangmyeon after watching the Netflix special on this speciality dish. I must find the best most succulent bowl of this and need your recommendations.
thanks in advance - have wheels so willing to drive to the Valley for this
Hello. I've been looking to spend a time with myself in the park or beaches; and I am trying to avoid to spend as much as I can. So, what kind of food do you guys bring in the park or beaches, especially if y'all are going to spend quite some time there? Like the specific the answer, the better. Something that I can put in a tote bag. I live an hour away from Vancouver, so I am trying to be strategic here.
Hello - two of my friends are currently using, and I tried my very best as friend to stop them from using, and they said that they would. But I know for sure that they are still under the influence last time we've seen each other, and I am just scared that I might lose them. Today, I contacted their parents, and still waiting for their replies. I am just wondering if I can just ask the pharmacy for a couple of Narcan spray, just in case, that the worst thing happens. I am just not comfortable enough to do some paper works or one-on-one interview.
I know that I could just cut them off, but they are one of the best and real people I've known, and I am scared of losing them.
