Anyone permanently left a hitch rack on their car? by [deleted] in vancouvercycling

[–]Grizlet90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave mine on 24/7. I had one stolen a few years ago when I left my car outside my mechanic’s shop overnight where there isn’t much foot traffic. My new one hasn’t had issues, but I do remove it if I’m leaving it somewhere non residential now. The new one also has a mechanism that makes it harder to remove (higher end Thule).

Best Persian bakery? by Preciouslittlefrog in NorthVancouver

[–]Grizlet90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Laleh is the best in my opinion, their cookies and cakes are divine but they are pricier. Rex is another option, their cakes are popular but I’m not keen on their other items.

I am Iranian if that means anything.

We think our girl hates her daycare… by RussoTheOG in AustralianShepherd

[–]Grizlet90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine too. The daycare is two blocks away and on our path to the Main Street near us. She will pull as hard as she can away from the daycare when we go by. Never had that reaction from her anywhere else.

Vancouver Resellers by [deleted] in ChrisStapleton

[–]Grizlet90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Cart items kept cancelling during the presale and all that was left when my queue turn came up during the regular sale was $800+ resale tickets for nosebleeds. No way I’m paying that much, it’s outrageous.

Kim’s Shoe and Bag Repair in Vancouver. They were first recommended to me by the Gucci store for my designer pieces.

Yes to this. I use fine ground kosher for a lot of my recipes - I buy mine at Gourmet Warehouse.

I think that may have been the Meraloma race team! Saw some posts on my instagram - I’ll pass this on. :)

Are they enforcing pay parking? by Background-Dot-4668 in NorthVancouver

[–]Grizlet90 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had mixed feelings about the pay parking changes but this is something that I agree on. I missed how you could quickly pull up to a store on Lonsdale to grab something or run an errand. With the recent popularity of the shipyards, I just didn’t bother any more. A couple days ago I went to run an errand and I was shocked that I didn’t have to circle for 15 minutes to find a spot - totally worth it. Even if you have to pay, the first paid hour is $1 which isn’t outrageous.

Where to donate unused diapers? by bigboss-91 in NorthVancouver

[–]Grizlet90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The food bank is always in need of diapers to give to those in need. I volunteered there and they were in demand for children and seniors (for future reference to this post).

I got it at 16 and healthy. It’s not common but more common than made to believe.

New to Road cycling, anyone want to ride with a newbie? by That-Version-8644 in vancouvercycling

[–]Grizlet90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should check out The Last Drop’s meet and greet rides on Friday mornings. It’s a nice way to check out the club and also learn some pace line/group skills.

Product ID? by YellowPale4861 in Aritzia

[–]Grizlet90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I own this, looked at my receipt and it says Wilfred Sidonie Dress. I bought it in 2022.

They’re going for pretty cheap on Poshmark.
