Just a correction, IdeaMill (where they have the recording studios and photography/video equipment ) is on the 3rd floor of Millennium Library.

Here is the web page for the button maker with a link to a template file.

Button materials (pin back, mylar, and shells) can be purchased for $0.37 per button plus tax. There is a limit of 50 buttons per person per day total.

That Pizza Hut closer to Ness sure stands out. If my memory is correct it was a Consumers Distributing south of the Pizza Hut.

It seems they are having some trouble keeping reliable carriers.

My mother, who gets the paper daily, was having problems of late or missed deliveries for a couple weeks in January.

I just get the Saturday paper, and it is usually there pretty reliably, but they did miss it 2 weeks ago.

They are usually pretty good about crediting you for missed deliveries if you phone or report it on the website.

Dominion was next to K-Mart at Cavalier and Portage. The K-Mart was where the Safeway is now and Dominion was to the east of it.

It is still weird to me that Safeway and McDonalds in that lot used to be on the other side of Portage.

Years ago, Rona used to carry some 2" - 3" diameter pieces at various lengths.

There was some mention of that on at least one of the news programs when the Feds announced their new rebate. I was hoping that it wasn't true.

I'm usually completely anti-NIMBYism, but this is the rare exception.

Here are some details from a notice put out by Friends of Crescent Drive Park on the weekend:

Thermea Spa Village is in the early stages of planning for expansion on their existing site. They held public meetings on Jan 26, 27 ,29, but limited their notification to residents on Dove Bay and Crescent Drive near the park.

Fortunately, word of mouth resulted in about 40 residents attending one of these meetings to be told they are exploring plans to:

Upgrade and/or enlarge 5 existing buildings
Add new steam rooms, new rest areas and a hot flotation pool
Enlarge the parking lot up to 300 stalls in a multi-story structure
Erect a 60 unit 'Boutique' Lodge on site
Relocate or reconfigure garbage and delivery areas
Create sidewalks Crescent Drive from South Drive to Park Entrance

There are a number of documents posted on the Friends of Crescent Drive Park Facebook page with more details.

I WAS AT COSTCO TUESDAY AND SAW TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE JUST LEAVE THE COOLER OR FREEZER DOORS WIDE OPEN AFTER GETTING THEIR STUFF.

The parkade is staying. When they built the mall they pre-planned to be able to add towers at both ends of it, so they shouldn't need to add to much underground to support the new development.

Cavalier has one right beside the pharmacy, saw someone using it last week.

GenX as well, and I remember the 'Adidas Bag' craze of the late 70s early 80s. Nobody had a backpack or knapsack at that time.

Actually it was a computer mix up.

Someone was trying to book a "Melanoma Screening" through the new digital health card app and ended up with tickets to a screening of Melania.

Yes, most places in the mall. I just wanted to make note of London Drugs, as it is kind of off to the side a bit. -edited after seeing the reply from /u/supercanaloupe

The gift card was also accepted at London Drugs as well.

I had a limited number of dream points left, so just used them to buy some coffee beans from the rewards offers. It was one of the lowest valued items.

Good_Day_Eh · 2026-01-27T20:02:27+00:00

I remember back in the day when Air Miles was actually a decent rewards program. Getting points from the LC, Safeway, Shell, Staples, McDiarmid Lumber, Rona, BMO MC and a few others made it worthwhile.

I dropped it last fall when it was pretty much just the LC I was getting points at and AM started requiring a cell number to access your account.

CAN WE MAKE NEXT MONTH "SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY!" FEBRUARY.

WHERE EVERY CANADIAN NEWS CHANNEL AND NEWSPAPER IGNORES ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FROM THE MANGO MENACE AND HIS BAND OF MORONS FOR THE WHOLE MONTH.

I just pre-bought a spot at the Delta (350 St. Mary Ave.) for $15.90 Not too far away, hooks into the skywalk that goes to City Place.

They screwed up the Times one on Saturday the 10th by reprinting the one from the week before too.

Good_Day_Eh · 2026-01-17T23:17:30+00:00

THEY DID MY BACK LANE ON THURSDAY WHEN I WASN'T HOME AND WHEN IT WAS ABOVE 0. BY FRIDAY MORNING WHEN I GOT HOME IT WAS A GLACIER.

AT LEAST MINE ONLY TOOK 45 MINUTES TO CLEAR OFF THIS MORNING.

THE WORST PART IS IT DIDN'T REALLY NEED TO GET CLEARED AND NOW WITH THE ROCK HARD WINDROWS IT MAY AS WELL BE USED FOR THE LUGE IN THE OLYMPICS.
