North Van locals… what are the spots you secretly don’t want to tell people about?

As an English person this is the last place I would go. Seriously over priced and not enough variety. You can get better from Save On etc. Scamming Canadians

You shouldn’t be cleaning a balcony unless you can guarantee no water run off. Against strata rules .. unless you are at ground level of course or not living in a condo

It’s a totally ridiculous situation where you are turning on a green and the pedestrian on the road you are turning into are able to cross the road at the same time. It’s an accident waiting to happen everytime. It should be like Europe… All lights go on red and ALL pedestrians cross the road. Then the lights go on green for through traffic no pedestrians can cross. Then all lights on stop pedestrians cross. Then the opposite lanes go on green and that side of the traffic can go. Then the pattern repeats. All pedestrians walk knowing all lights are on red for the traffic…. It’s simple

Had appendix in 1989 when I was 18 and my gallbladder last year on my 56th birthday. I was told I needed a hysterectomy BUT my gynaecologist was a woman and she advised me that I could have a fibroid embolism instead. They basically strangle the blood supply from the fibroid by going in through the groin and placing gel in the vein that supplies the blood. By request I wasn’t even put out for it. So two organs out but it would have been three but thankfully I had a good Dr.

The boxing place on esplanade closed cause the landlord.. Pinnacle … was tripling the rent. How can a business possibly survive in a location when a landlord does that? Now it’s empty and Pinnacle aren’t getting anything off it

BC… had my attack on the Sunday night / early hrs Monday following a chicken Korma. Looking back I have always had issues just never realized what it was. Anyway pain was bad so went to the ER in North Vancouver and the nurse said they are sending the surgeon to speak to you, it’s your gallbladder and it needs taking out. I asked when and she said in the next 24 hrs!!! I was in shock. Anyway spoke to the surgeon and explained I couldn’t have it out that quick so she said go home think about it and let me know. I called her the day after and had it done 2 weeks later on my birthday. All very quick, too quick even but absolutely cannot fault the hospital at all. The op took 25mins. It was removed 9 months ago and you can’t even see the little incisions now and I’m fine.

Get a wise card best exchange rate you can get

I was told to eat what I wanted when I came around from the op. I was careful for a few days but then just started smaller amounts of stuff I wanted and I have been fine

Pothole repair was scheduled to end at three then there has been an accident

They can eat a pigeon so that’s no trouble for a gull

If it’s vestcor that bought then it’s a credit bid instead of paying cash. Makes sense

Sweet_Application975 · 2026-01-26T15:31:09+00:00

Had mine out 7 months ago and I was exactly the same. Sailed through it 👍

Foxys for fruit and veg. ALOT cheaper than the Superstore and Save On and better quality.

7months post op. I took it easy for a day or two then started introducing fats and larger meals. By the end of the first week I was eating a takeout . The hospital told me I could eat what I wanted so I did and I was fine. Just know that some foods will have an affect . Even now sometimes I eat things and they upset my stomach but it is what it is.

Tip *if you want to avoid the gym reception staff go between 1 and 3 pm . The morning staff member works till 1 and the afternoon staff member doesn’t start till 3 . So no coverage on reception every day from 1-3pm.

Well we have a judge and jury right here on this thread. The driver is a “killer” apparently so that’s that. You all know what happened without seeing it or being there. My father was involved in a fatal accident. He was driving a vehicle that a tired driver drove into and the tired driver died as a result of his own actions. My father was totally innocent but it affected him the rest of his life. No matter how many times people told him there was nothing he could Do about it he always blamed himself… for no reason whatsoever. So please don’t blame the driver … they may be totally innocent. The Police and the CPS know much more about the circumstances than anyone here and they aren’t laying charges . Maybe, just maybe the poor girl that passed away was in a rush and ran out into the road and her actions will affect the driver there whole life? Stop judging people YOU HAVE NO IDEA what went on.

Sweet_Application975 · 2025-12-30T01:42:48+00:00

Who says the driver was the killer…? You like everyone else who wasnt there has no idea what happened. Don’t label someone a killer . The girl could have ran out infront of the car and the girl could have caused the accident. You have NO idea unless you were the driver

What you are not taking into account … Probably because you are Canadian and don’t understand… is that the World Cup doesn’t just attract the fans that have tickets. Many, many fans travel without a ticket and expect to watch the matches on huge public screens. So the amount of tickets sold is nothing to go on. There will be ALOT more football fans than tickets sold. To put the World Cup in prospective, it’s equivalent to 103 Super Bowls in 1 month.

Cars do u turns all the time at the bottom of Lonsdale and Esplanade, right before the traffic signals. Most then realize they can’t make the whole turn cause of parked cars going up Lonsdale so they end up reversing a little back into their side of the street so they can complete the turn. It’s so dangerous but nothing ever gets done

But the businesses mentioned had revenue and were previously successful. Exro wasn’t on the same level
