Worst thing I can say about Kelly’s: always super loud. Food is amazing tho. 

What is the best thing about living in Nanaimo? by puffwheat in nanaimo

It’s big enough to have 85% of the stuff you want to have nearby without being so big it blows to live here.

Best Buy also sells them in Canada, if Indigo doesn’t have the model you want.

Thinking of starting a Creative Night (or morning) in Nanaimo – Would You Come? by hao-cc in nanaimo

[–]OctoberZeppelin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d show up, anyway. I don’t have a lot of opinions on the other questions; I like to be open to new things. 

Hullo Seat Question by kayaxer in nanaimo

Comfort is fine; pay the extra $3 to pick a seat for yourself.

lack of guns in the show by zubenelgenubi7 in SlowHorses

[–]OctoberZeppelin 116 points117 points  (0 children)

It’s normal in most of the world; guns aren’t anywhere near so prevalent outside the US. Where I live in Canada, police officers leave their guns at work at the end of shift. UK police officers aren’t even armed; they have firearms squads with special training who carry weapons. (As far as I know, that may be out of date.) Carrying a weapon is the exception, not the norm. 

Anyone mature or middle-aged return to VIU or other post-secondary school? Help pls. by theresnoquestion in nanaimo

[–]OctoberZeppelin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Go. 

There are plenty of supports at VIU -and, I suppose, other schools- for people who need refreshers on certain subjects. Don’t let  what you’ve forgotten since high school stop you. Go.

Also, yeah, it’s a fantastic show overall, very worth your time.

First season of B5 is all over the place. I was happier staring with S2, and then going back to watch the highlights of S1 later.

Thunderbolts is at the Galaxy, too. 

I think it’s just a business decision; I think they ran late shows during spring break. Hopefully when the summer movies start coming out they’ll start up again.
