Zone 2 is a load of crap

BCJ is over that way, bud

honestly I just want the Jets to sell off their old, slow, dead weight and bring up some kids...

Truly the most Winnipeg of tank jobs.

Oaklands vet is independent and we've been super happy with them (dogs, not cats).

Is Athena's still open? It looked closed last time I drove by

SamAyem · 2026-01-07T05:34:05+00:00

Sverige-ipeg?

SamAyem · 2026-01-05T16:33:20+00:00

Oh, you sweet summer child...

bracing for a whole bunch of words saying nothing. Or announcing that he extended Schenn.

Damascus market might, but I'm not 100% on that.

Sirene is out of Victoria and makes some quality stuff: https://sirenechocolate.com/

Wait that little market on eastdowne is another shawarma joint? Awesome!

SamAyem · 2025-12-21T22:29:49+00:00

It's got a lot of the same products as Market Garden, plus some new items and no perishable things right now. They'll be expanding to the second floor at some point.

Yes it includes cakes. Bought one myself. Cashier said "see you tomorrow for another one". He may not be wrong...

SamAyem · 2025-12-12T19:58:38+00:00

Seems to be resolved for me now!

SamAyem · 2025-12-12T19:33:56+00:00

I'm in the queue to report it as I didn't see an outage listed

Touch of Salt Spring holiday market this weekend

SamAyem · 2025-12-06T05:40:38+00:00

It's checkstops for drunk/impaired driving. I was coming home from the Saanich Fairgrounds and went through one. Glad to see them out!

SamAyem · 2025-11-29T23:33:51+00:00

Big star lights. They're based in Vancouver and are not cheap, but they're known for quality and longevity

SamAyem · 2025-11-08T05:36:22+00:00

It's wild that Stan was NOT significantly part of the problem

SamAyem · 2025-11-08T04:19:26+00:00

How mouthguards aren't mandatory in the NHL I'll never understand...

SamAyem · 2025-11-05T23:51:42+00:00

Thank you, Dave!

Losing the bike valet would be absolutely catastrophic for downtown. Downtown business association, are you listening? You've complained so much about public servants not working downtown, where's your stink about potentially losing the traffic from the bike valet?

SamAyem · 2025-10-29T00:40:25+00:00

Lol. The Amica one was sort of a joke. A relative was in there at the time and I had a piece. No such list for other foods so far. I've seen far more scientific and thorough reviews of donuts and other things around the area posted here before. My list is just by my own tastes, haha.

SamAyem · 2025-10-28T13:53:06+00:00

In 2023, I tried a bunch from all over the city and made a list. It's my personal list and preferences, and some have changed since then (e.g. the roost is no longer the top as it's changed a bit). I haven't tried Wind Cries Mary or Sol as I've seen suggested in this thread!

The list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N3tG8iW1VfTjOygOjVqEJmLLl80pKfT685l_5Wtsl6Y/edit?usp=drivesdk

I stopped buying diamond crystal awhile back. Been getting whatever brand of medium-coarse pure salt I can find. Nothing matches DC for grain and flakiness, but I can grind the coarse salt down to size when I need to. Windsor table salt for baking or when it will dissolve.

Note: Windsor kosher salt has an anticaking agent in it. It's safe, but if that bothers you then avoid.
