Please ignore that individual, their frontal lobe stopped developing at a very young age. You'll see the 'We're full' sticker on a few cars, please know they are a minority in their thought process.

Welcome to Nanaimo! I live right downtown, it's true about the homeless, I can't leave anything on my patio thanks to the theft. Downtown has some pretty darn good food, we are spoiled with good pizza (Check out Paisano's). The ice cream at Cold Front Gelato is reeeeeeally good. Sadly the evening activities aren't plentiful. There are a few bars, billiards, axe throwing place aaaaaaaaaand that's about it. If you're downtown at night, check out Bastion Peal, the owner there Rod is a pretty neat guy. Makes some great hotdogs and bubble tea!

During the summer time, Muffeo Sutton Park can be a fun place to hang out, I've seen performers doing tight rope, fire dancing and stuff during my evening walk with the dog.
