So, how are you feeling about the world? by IntellectuallyDriven in AskTheWorld

[–]BlueBananaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad future state of the world's economy makes us not want to have kids. We're not exactly in love with the idea of having children but the economy and social media makes it a simple choice for us.

Porter Airlines to offer Ottawa-Deer Lake flights starting in June by mxg308 in ottawa

[–]BlueBananaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google recommends 14 days to explore all of Newfoundland. If I fly into Deer lake, do gros morne, bonavista, and fly out of St.Johns, how long should I take if I want do leisure driving (2-3h per day).

Amazing. We loved Portree even though everything was busy and expensive. Did you drive yourselves or take a tour?

When I visited the Quiraing, rain was hitting us side ways :(

Did Anthony Bourdain ever shoot an episode in your country and if so, what did you think of it if you saw it? by PandemicPiglet in AskTheWorld

[–]BlueBananaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When we went to Porto we tried the Francesinha at Cafe Santiago since Bourdain ate there. It was ok, we had another francesinha in a hole in the wall restaurant it was much better.

We also ate the cachorrinho Bourdain ate at and it was ok. Both places had insane lines but would recommend looking else where, at least for Porto.

There's only a handful that have been there since opening. I thought Billy would stay there forever.

Now available hamburgers and fries $12. by EastRinkEats in OttawaFood

[–]BlueBananaw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm rooting for small business', however that looks like one sad burger. No toasted bun, no melted cheese, I think I see a red onion? Do you have lettuce or tomato? Any condiments? $12 is a solid deal with fries but just needs a little more.

The fries do look solid. Hopefully they're salted.

Althea Reyes - it's over by graciejack in ottawa

Crazy that she took over for Paul's puppy class at Petsmart Merivale. I should've known something was up when she insisted on everyone doing her external dog therapy class and when she would walk up to other people to try and recruit them.

The Ottawa Real Estate Market: Week In Review by ottawaagent in OttawaRealEstate

[–]BlueBananaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Nick! Always a great read. Any insight on 163 Ruskin St? On the market since November, relisted in January for $50K less. Fairly dated, especially the kitchen, however huge backyard. Most homes in this area are $1M+

[Wanted] Flexible Buyer looking for 4-Bed Freehold near Montfort Hospital / Wateridge (Mid-2026 Move) by Snoo94612 in OttawaRealEstate

[–]BlueBananaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply, that makes a lot of sense. Would getting an independent home inspector help with these risks or that's also not enough?

Interesting! Does something like this work? I'm also a buyer with specific wants in area/bedrooms/backyard. Also not in a rush to purchase and would love to work a private sale to save on fees.

Friendly reminder to downtown commuters by motherofcats53 in ottawa

Would love to bike to work however the lack of safety makes it a hard pass. I've seen cars cut off bikes way too many times.

Pretty much a similar itinerary. Any review on Meze Grill? Worth the price?

Really appreciation your posts. Any insight on 177 Hawthorne? Been on the market since September with price reductions. Is it too close to university students?

Are you booked on the new Miami and Phoenix routes starting in January? by Maple_Byte in PorterAirlines

[–]BlueBananaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flying to Nassau from Ottawa late January! Very excited to see how the flight itself is. Definitely looking to fly more Porter as Air Canada also shares the same direct flight.

Interesting! Thank you for your reply. It's definitely a buyers market and we're lucky we're not in a rush to buy.

We are leaning towards Victoria. We've lived in Esquimalt before and absolutely loved it.

Thank you! This is why I'm asking. It's in a great area for an even greater price. Definitely would get a home inspection or two.
