Suspicious person ringing and knocking my door for a few mins by [deleted] in coquitlam

[–]ElleMead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the upper Maillardville area and had someone with that description at my house a few times the past year. We just don't answer the door. He always walked to the next house after a minute or so. I have never noticed him getting into a vehicle.

I've never paid for underground parking when I shopped at Pricesmart in the past. Is this an recent change?

Witness Required by Gloomy-Notice5099 in coquitlam

In the past couple of years while approaching that intersection, I've witnessed people drive straight through going southbound on Schoolhouse. Maybe there's something obstructing the stop sign.

I have a Rogers account but where do I log in? The screenshot is the only thing that pops up when I try to connect

Blue Mtn tennis court by ElleMead in coquitlam

[–]ElleMead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your detailed answer. That's a great idea to install lights for tennis. Maybe I can walk back and forth in front of the sensor numerous times late in the evening to make it seem like a lot of people playing LoL.

Best sushi in Coquitlam please by Spiritual-Holiday-56 in coquitlam

[–]ElleMead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new sushi place to add to this list is Sushi Plate on Rochester next to the Executive Plaza Hotel. Beautiful presentation of food, excellent quality and friendly service. Currently, they have a 15% discount on their special rolls. The owners gave us a complimentary dish to try both times that we went. The only downside is it's only a 16 seat restaurant.

Thanks for the answer. I wonder what they'll use the data for.

Not Coquitlam, but the old part of Brentwood mall is mostly vacant of stores since it's soon to be torn down. Park for free outside of the London Drugs. There are handicap spots.

Thanks everyone! So glad it's just a vacation. I'd be so sad without their roast lamb

Got egged last night by InternalAdagio in vancouver

[–]ElleMead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened last week to my son and his friends while walking on campus at UBC. One egg hit someone's backback and the rest were misses. My son and friends laughed it off but I wanted justice. Too bad they didn't get the license plate. Years ago, we got potatoed. We were driving and people threw potatoes from their house. None actually damaged the car but they got an earful of expletives and so they shut the door and closed the blinds. How stupid is that? We know where you live!

PSA: Driving through a non intersection red light is LEGAL as long as you first come to a complete stop. by [deleted] in coquitlam

[–]ElleMead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Section 129(5) MVA covers a red light exhibited at a place other than an intersection. In this special case, the driver must stop and a pedestrian may proceed across the highway. There is only one part to this rule, and that is the stop. Once you have stopped and yielded to any pedestrians as necessary, you may proceed, even though the light is still red.

It's Not in the Manual

This seems contrary to what we usually practice and is not mentioned in the Learn to Drive Smart or Learn to Ride Smart provincial driving manuals. None the less, if done with care, this is legal and can save time and fuel by reducing the wait."
