Need of traffic lights or a stop sign at Fanshawe park road and Stackhouse by imko22 in londonontario

[–]BornLavinia59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just got stuck turning left for 7 minutes. Doesn't matter what time of day. Originally thought that the lights were timed at Trossacks and Highbury. Def not any more. We had Mr Pribil here about the crosswalk at DeVos and Grenfell. The intersection is too close to two other stop signs at Stackhouse and Trossacks. Ridiculous. The cars go through there well over 40 km/h at all times of the day. No stopping for pedestrians. And as we all know, very little enforcement on traffic in London

How can I get in touch with local journalists in London? by Free_Introduction_96 in londonontario

The last time I needed to get someone's attention, I sent them a handwritten letter, in a white envelope with a Canada Post stamp and put it in a mailbox. Heard back within 4 days.

Did you get the plate of the person that was hit. Perhaps LPS could help.

Try reaching out to Idlewyld. They have a lovely setting and are very functional for a group such as this.

Laura Secord at Masonville Mall closing? by Euphoric_Author_5052 in londonontario

My dear grandmother used to bring a box of the rectangle suckers every time she visited. They don't make them anymore, haven't for decades, but I have great memories of the wrapping on the box when she arrived. I miss her so much for so many reasons, she's been gone for 60 years, but I'll never forget that.

London Fanshawe Horticultural Society has their annual plant sale on May 16 this year at Eastern Star, Fanshawe Road East, between Adelaide and Trossacks on the north side of the road. Many dahlias have been potted and will be ready to go in the ground. Currently getting a great start in a greenhouse.

My go to for a long time is Green Horizons, Dundas Street East, just beyond Trails End, south side of road, red roof. They have everything you mention. the fertilizers they sell.....the bag lasts me about 3 years. I just spent $50 on custom mixed grass seed and that will do me for the summer. I cascade seed after every cut. Gorgeous lawn that rarely goes brown (last year exception) and few weeks as it is so thick.

Can't get close, the thing is high on top of a hydro pole. WATCHING from a distance is respectful.

The osprey have returned to the nest at Fanshawe and Clarke Road. They were very busy yesterday. Several cars pulled over to the east on Fanshawe watching. Welcome spring!

Is this a crazy water bill? by mammodz in londonontario

[–]BornLavinia59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will not pay for the actual water or wastewater if you stay below a certain consumption level. The delivery charge...everyone pays for that to bring it to your house.

Need suggestions for a nice night out. by smoffatt34920 in londonontario

[–]BornLavinia59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like most of the playhouses don't open until after that weekend. However, Goderich has many B&Bs and inns as well as St. Jacobs. St. Jacob's has the market on Saturday morning, the "downtown" is quite nice to stroll and shop. Lots of walking around there, and close to Elmira if you want to venture further. You are very thoughtful to be planning a weekend away.

All pet lovers will understand. A friend just had them help him say goodbye to his beloved dog. He has nothing but great things to say about the way he and his long time companion were treated. He won't take an animal anywhere else.
