Oshawa Costco smells disgusting today. Stinks like dead mice

In case anyone is planning to do their last-minute Canada Day shopping, avoid Costco Oshawa NORTH today.

The place absolutely stinks. The disgusting smell starts within the first couple of aisles and seems to carry throughout most of the store. It made shopping really unpleasant and I headed out of the store without being able to stay any longer.

I genuinely feel bad for the employees who have to work in that stink all day. Hopefully they get whatever’s causing it sorted out soon.

NOTE: I’m new to posting on Reddit. Apologies if I have mistakenly cross posted in different groups.

Dinner options at breakfast?

Anyone know of any places that would serve lunch/dinner around 8am in Whitby or surrounding area? I work night shifts and getting sick of eating breakfast on the days where I have no energy to even think about cooking

Can’t even walk with a stroller. why is it so hard for people to follow basic rules?

Not sure why this is so difficult for some people, but I just tried to go for a walk with the stroller on Brownridge Place and the entire pedestrian sidewalk is blocked. On top of that, someone parked so close they basically closed off access right to the fire hydrant.

It’s a fire hazard and makes it impossible for parents with strollers, wheelchair users, or anyone pushing something to get through safely. I had to go
out into the street with the baby, which isn’t great.
Is this a common thing in this neighbourhood? I’ve noticed it a few times now and it’s getting frustrating. Do people just not care about blocking sidewalks and hydrants here?

Station 3 Condos

Anyone have any feedback on this Condo building, the location, things to do, etc.

I’m looking at potentially buying a unit to live in (it’s fairly close to my workplace).

Thanks in advance

Brooklin

Has anyone here had a racism-free experience living here? I’m biracial, and my kids are biracial too, so this is an important factor for our family. I’d really appreciate hearing honest experiences—good or bad. Thanks!

Lost heart glasses at beach

Today (Saturday June 27th) my 8 year old daughter wore her glasses in the water 😬😬 and they fell off. (We have another but those were her favourite pair)

**They are prescription glasses**

She was at the Whitby beach (Kiwanis Heydenshore Park) near where the stairs are leading down to the beach. She went out about 6 feet and swam back and forth about 50 feet?

The water was insanely cold but my husband and I went in and looked but it was so cold we had to stop after a few minutes.

I’m just posting this in hopes maybe later in the summer when people are out with goggles someone might spot them before we go and look again.

Thanks so much!

If you've been thinking about going, here's a Reddit-only thank you:

The rest of the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) is free to attend with live entertainment, rib vendors, a beer garden, Kidsfest, and more. The Friday concert is the only ticketed portion of the festival. https://whitbyribfest.com

Walk in clinics

Update: Thanks to all who replied, it was very helpful! My daughter ended up getting seen at one of the clinics mentioned.

Are there any walk in clinics open in the evenings in Whitby? Or are they all daytime hours only?

For an issue that needs to be checked in the next 24-48 hours, but it's not an emergency (so trying to avoid the ER if at all possible).

Tree advice

our neighbours birch tree branches over hang into our backyard causing a lot of mess So we are looking to remove that portion.

Whitby by law says its the tree owners responsibility to ”maintain“ the tree but they can’t advise regarding arborist costs as thats a civ matter?

looking for advice of this is something the tree owner should pay for since the tree is on their property or do we pay for the pruning after getting their permission?

Volt Raceway go karts

I’m in town for a few days due to work and looking for something fun to do. Was thinking of visiting Volt Raceway, I usually go to k1 speed in Toronto but it’s a little far. Just had a few questions for people who have been.

How fast are the karts?
Are they quality laps for the price?
Is it usually busy on a weekday? Don’t want to just race myself lol
Is there a way to see your lap times when you are done?

Thanks!
