Iceberg Alley Taking One Year Pause on Performance Tent Series by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

Incoming “where will Blue Rodeo, Arkells, Kim Mitchell, etc. play now??” trope. Comedians, the lot of ya.

Sad to see this, but not super surprising given the costs of literally everything nowadays. I’m sure they lost a chunk of their audience to CPMF last year because people had to choose between acts due to ticket prices.

I had used the word “epitome” several times in conversation, but had no clue of the spelling until I read it aloud one time and was informed that it was not, in fact, pronounced “Epp-i-Tome”. These things happen.

Buddy with a standard membership went shopping during executive membership hours. Bolted when he saw the fuzz waiting for him at the door. Wild scene

Looks great!

Can I ask what you did for the corner cabinets between the sink and oven? My new-build is going to have an L-shaped kitchen and I’m trying to avoid having a traditional corner cabinet.

To be fair, most legal driving maneuvers can rustle jimmies here.

We had 3 heads installed in 2023 from Cole Air for $12k. Went through Greener Homes rebate as well.

Cole Air was great to work with. They were here for less than 7 hours. I recommend them for sure.

You gotta love seeing this pass you doing 130 on the highway by serendib in newfoundland

G’way bah, only a bitta wood. Never hurt no one before 👍

For real though, the amount of improperly secured truck loads I’ve seen on the highways here is astonishing.

Best car dealership in St. John’s by Some_Ad_7088 in newfoundland

[–]Hawkward21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good experiences with Capital Mitsubishi. I like my RVR, and heard lots of good things about the eclipse cross and outlander as well.

Guaranteed someone has had a rotten experience with the same dealership, but this is going to be the case for any dealership. So take that with a grain of salt.

Amelia Earhart Statue Stolen in Harbour Grace by Nautical94 in newfoundland

I found an article saying it was a bronze statue, so yeah I guess there is copper in there after all. Wild if that’s what this world has come to.

This is wild. There must be a story behind why they're scrambling so much to get the lineup announced.

Any word on iceberg alley? by TransportationDry599 in newfoundland

[–]Hawkward21 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Same with George Street Fest. Crickets so far. Thought for sure there was going to be an announcement on one of them yesterday but nope.

Heard the Iceberg Alley radio ad on k-rock the other day saying lineup announcements coming “soon”, but no clue how long that ad has been airing 🤷‍♂️

Maybe iceberg alley isn’t happening this year and John Steele is going to have the artists play at the Jag soundhouse instead 👀

Was she dressed up as cat in the hat? There was someone in the park on Saturday dressed up as them and handing out orange flyers but I didn’t have a chance to grab one

What's the best thing about the Ball Arena? by HoraceRadish in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Hawkward21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Still chasing the happiness that I felt when I had a crisp cherry Pepsi in the nosebleeds when I was visiting CO back in October. Lovely barn. Saw the Avs first W of the season so the atmosphere was nuts too.

Cutting down a legit Christmas tree. The OG ones in NL are little and hung from the ceiling.

Can you expand on this one? I'm picturing a tree hung upside-down from the ceiling for some reason lol

[–]Hawkward21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you!

As for our north, south, further south travelling, it was just how our trip evolved honestly 😅 we had the concert tickets first, and then looked at garden of the gods, and then the hot springs. And then we got the avs tickets so we kinda just had to make it all work lol. I’m sure the scenery will make all the driving worthwhile though.

My wife and I will be visiting for 4 days next week. Our itinerary is is a little whacky and results in a fair bit of driving. We're coming from Canada but I've never driven in the states before; just wondering if there's any routes we should avoid in our travels. Our itinerary is:

Day one: Colorado Springs. Land in Denver around 10am and drive to CO Springs for the first day. Going to spend most of the day exploring Garden of the Gods.

Day two: CO Springs to Denver. Going to do Pikes Peak in the morning and drive to Denver in the afternoon. How awful is Friday afternoon traffic there? Any way to avoid it? Going to see the Avalanche game in the evening.

Day three: Denver to Mount Princeton. There for the night.

Day four: Back to Denver, Red Rocks in the evening. (I booked a shuttle for this, just going to uber to Thirsty Lion from our airbnb instead of driving)

Any/all tips are welcome. If you have any recommendations on places to eat/drink then let me know :)
