New to area and wfh. Read a lot about service issues, especially with Rogers. Doesn't look like fibre is set up. What are you using and recommend?

I recently found this small sandwich place on Yonge Street called Substreet Subs & Dogs, and I honestly don’t know why I hadn’t heard about it before.
They bake their buns in-house, make the food fresh in front of you, and the sandwiches come with fresh-cut chips. I tried their homemade burger. it was only $9.99 and they didn’t charge extra for additional toppings.
Good portion, fresh food and really friendly service. It’s a small local place that’s easy to miss, but definitely worth trying if you’re around Richmond Hill.
Their footlong hot dogs are footlong and come with fresh-cut chips.

Relisting resets the days-on-market counter. Cancel a listing, re-enter it, clock starts at zero — new listing number, same house, often the same price.

I stitch consecutive listings on the same property, regardless of who listed them.

Richmond Hill this morning:

- Reported median age of active listings: 43 days

- True Days On Market: 73 days

- Gap: 30 days — the largest of the 15 markets I track

- Sitting 90+ days on the stitched clock: 41.2%

One caveat- Stitching is inference from listing history, so a genuinely new campaign can get chained in and inflate the figure — treat the direction as solid and the number as approximate.

My read, and it's a read rather than data: a month of hidden age suggests a lot of Richmond Hill sellers have already had one failed run.

Agents working York Region — does that match what you're seeing on the ground?

Are any of you residents of the Richmond green community? We’ve lived here for 7 years now and it seems that the development in this area has stalled for years. There’s a vacant lot for what appears to be townhouses between William F Bell Parkway and McAlister. There are supposed to be 2 parks built, one in the northwest corner of Hartney and William F Bell, and the other by the baseball diamonds.

I know that city planning typically takes time, but I didn’t think we’d be entering year 8 with no updates to the parks. Fortunately we are in walking distance to Richmond green, but still, this isn’t what I was expecting when we moved here.

Upon research I know that the conservatory group (we’re with a different builder) is in disarray which is causing the housing development to stall. Does anyone know if that’s what’s causing the city to hold all public space development? I sincerely hope this whole situation isn’t impacting other city projects like schools and infrastructure.

I'm looking for recommendations for a top-tier, highly experienced veterinarian in the Richmond Hill or Markham area.

Ideally looking for a clinic/vet that:
Has been established in the area for a while now.

Has deep clinical experience, strong diagnostic knowledge, and genuinely takes the time to explain treatment plans.

Is transparent with care options and recommendations.

Willing to travel a bit further out if there's a clinic that really stands out above the rest.
Any personal experiences or specific doctors you can recommend? Thanks in advance!

That’s all. Is there even anything remotely close to a 24 hour market anywhere near

There's a chat in the Vaughan group about the Highland Farms converting to a Fortinos. I asked one of the Managers at the Fortinos in North York and they confirmed the news but they also mentioned that Loblaws is looking at converting both R Hill and Markham stores to Fortinos.

Anybody else wake up to no power near hillcrest mall?

Singing has been ongoing for 3 hours now. You sit on the balcony and that’s all you hear. Can’t open a window all evening.

Tried reporting but apparently there’s nothing they can do since it’s still early and not „excessive”.

Anyone else bothered by this and finding it inconsiderate?

Lake Wilcox Skatepark has a serious e-scooter/e-bike problem. Here's what residents can do.

If you use Lake Wilcox Park, particularly in the evenings, you may have noticed the growing problem at the skatepark.

Groups of boys are increasingly arriving on high-powered e-scooters, e-bikes and even electric dirt bikes and riding them throughout the skatepark, often at high speeds around skateboarders, BMX riders and younger children.

These motorized vehicles are not permitted in Richmond Hill parks.

This has become especially bad in the evenings. I've spoken to riders myself, but this shouldn't depend on individual residents confronting groups of teenagers. We need enough people reporting it that the City recognizes this as a recurring safety and enforcement problem.

If you see it happening:

1. Don't put yourself in danger or get into an escalating confrontation. If you feel comfortable, calmly tell the riders that motorized vehicles aren't permitted in the park.
2. Report it while it's happening. Lake Wilcox has an on-site Community Standards Officer. Look for the contact number posted on the park information boards and save it in your phone.
3. For an after-hours public-safety by-law issue, call Richmond Hill Community Standards at 905-771-5458.
4. Note the time and location. Tell the City that it's happening inside the Lake Wilcox Skatepark, approximately how many riders there are, and whether they're using e-scooters, e-bikes or electric dirt bikes. Don't photograph or pursue individual kids if doing so could create a confrontation.
5. Send Community Standards a written complaint as well. Multiple independent complaints establish that this isn't one person's annoyance. It's a recurring problem affecting the community.

Subject: Motorized vehicles at Lake Wilcox Skatepark

Hello,

I'm writing to report the recurring use of high-powered e-scooters, e-bikes and electric dirt bikes inside the Lake Wilcox Skatepark, particularly during the evening.

These motorized vehicles are being ridden at significant speeds around skateboarders, BMX riders and children and are creating a serious safety issue.

Please increase evening monitoring and enforcement at the skatepark and install clear signage at its entrances stating that e-scooters, e-bikes, electric dirt bikes and other motorized vehicles are prohibited.

This appears to be a recurring problem rather than an isolated incident, and I hope the City will address it before someone is injured.

Thank you.

I'm not asking people to go looking for a fight with teenagers. I'm asking residents who witness this to stop treating it as something we simply have to accept.

Report it. Email the City. Ask for signage. Ask for evening enforcement.

The skatepark should be a safe place for the people it was actually built for, and we shouldn't have to wait for a serious collision before something is done.

Looking to get one this fall. Mom was asking where I would.

A few times a week I see at least 2 firetrucks parked on the side of the road on Yonge St. Does anyone know what they're doing?

I love finding and going to parks and playgrounds I havent been to to find some hidden gems (harding park and palmer park are some examples)
do you guys have suggestions for which ones to check out?

Anyone sign up for telmax for internet? Experience?
