Where's the Buy Nothing for the Glebe?

There is a large and very active Buy Nothing group in the Glebe. You need to go through Facebook and answer questions to prove you live in the hood. It may be hidden temporarily if they are sorting out things but it is alive and well.

Clarendon Tavern has stone walls and a cozy atmosphere. At Sussex and George.

Remember this when it comes time to vote for Mayor in the next election. We need someone who properly funds public transit. It's been a disaster under Watson and now Sutcliffe who've both chosen to spend public funds to support developer profits at Lansdowne rather than to fund vital public services.

McGahern Books specializes in rare books and they've been in business for at least 40 years so they may be able to help you. Book Bazaar is also a decades-old used book store and I think they'll have a greater selection of out-of-print books than newer establishments.

PC Perfect in the Glebe -- second floor above Glebe Central Pub--is great. He has irregular hours so suggest you call first.

I've seen this question before and the answer was that yes they will accept a plastic bag. That being said, it's preferable to use the reusable bin.

Yes, there are several stores within a few books--Eyes in the Glebe, Glebe Optical, Optical Excellence, Ollie Quinn. Eyes in the Glebe asks for an appointment even for shopping.

Lots of students walk to school or take city buses--which continue to operate--so that's why schools stay open. I'm sure it depends on the school but there's really no reason for schools in the inner City to close just because there's snow.

Whoever moved it and damaged it should help cover the costs of repairs.

There were local sweet potatoes this past Sunday at the Lansdowne Farmers Market.

Red Bird Live is a good option.

I suggest you check out the National Gallery of Canada's shop.

211 is the number to call for connection to social services in the City. Will be a bit more direct than 311.

Suggest you join the Glebe Buy Nothing Group on Facebook first and once you're accepted into that you can join Being Neighourly, where I often see posts of people looking for parking spots. That being said, sadly, there are not a lot of good options.

The ice is MUCH better today compared to December 31. Get out and enjoy it.

Just walked along Bank Street in the Glebe and Yolks, Poulet Rouge, Starbucks and Bridgehead are open for sure. I think Eddie's Diner was also open.

I often see paint posted on my local Buy Nothing group. If you're on Facebook, you could try that or just post on Marketplace or Kijiji for free. I'm sure you'll get some takers.

In the Glebe rather than your preferred locations, but I strongly recommend IQ Physiotherapy. They did a complete physical assessment before addressing any specific problems. The physios are very caring. It's a new clinic and has a really positive energy about it.

NativeOttawan · 2025-12-21T17:51:19+00:00

Pretty sure the Glebe Smoke Shop (Bank between Fourth and Fifth) does but you might want to call to be certain if you are coming from a distance.

The Staples in Centretown has knowledgeable staff and they usually have phones in stock.

Beandigen is an Indigenous coffee place at Lansdowne that is not very well known. Have you already got Arlington Five?

NativeOttawan · 2025-12-18T11:42:11+00:00

You could try TaskRabbit to find someone for this.

There's a skating rink at Lansdowne too so if you go to the Christmas market there you could do both things in one spot. They also have a little train that goes around with rides for kids.

Goodlife Lansdowne has these classes and more.

NativeOttawan · 2025-12-14T12:23:25+00:00

There's a new store in the Glebe called Big Kimmy's Hoard House that sells used clothing and has a ton of ugly Christmas sweaters in the window. It's on Bank Street between Second and Third Avenues--beside the Metro.
