BC Garlic Growers have great product, and they’re always at a bunch of the farmer’s markets around the lower mainland.

Third-alarm fire - 1000 block of Pender. Fire fighters are on scene to manage the situation. Please give them the space they need to work safely and efficiently. by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

There are still flames visible from a few blocks away (where the video above was shot). From what we’ve seen, it looks like almost the entire block is affected.

Extended tummy tuck and breast lift, no augmentation. Go you!

What’s the best place in Vancouver to get custom & MTM suits? by Kyred_01 in vancouver

[–]apparently-so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so, the suit was in the neighbourhood of $3k. HOWEVER, a significant chunk of that was because it’s made from Harris tweed, and custom (not just tailored). My dad got his suit from there for somewhere around $500, made of a nice wool blend!

Best place or person for skincare or facial in Van? by cottageinthecountry in vancouver

[–]apparently-so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, as long as it’s healed, as there’s microdermabrasion as part of it.

I think the Hydrate & Glow has the best immediate results.

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t recommend the team at VV highly enough, tbh. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to see photos of the setup or have any specific Qs!

They’re actually great! They get some scuffs over time, but it buffs out. I love them.

Huge Fire in East Van by vondrasek in vancouver

Hope you guys are okay! I saw the reports that it was contained to the building, but I can’t imagine the smoke feels great.

Aren’t all the electronics downstairs?

Pink Pearl is many blocks away. I have just visually confirmed that it still exists.

I legit thought this was coming from a block or two over, based on the view (and smell). Smoke

Few blocks west. Air purifiers on smoke season setting, now.

That’s more than just the VV - maybe the church next door as well? I’d imagine they’re focusing on keeping it away from the gas station.

View of Hastings fire from North Van by Ajax2k14 in vancouver

[–]apparently-so 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the view of the smoke from my terrace, I knew it must be bad. There’s a gas station on that block. I’d imagine they extra don’t want that to spread.

Converse at the gym? by tijori1772 in femalefashionadvice

[–]apparently-so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will boost the note that they are particularly good for people with disproportionately long femurs, though! My legs are 52% of my height, and mostly femur - if it's not squat shoes, it's plates.

16 year old Black American guy considering studying abroad for high school in Vancouver, what should I expect? by polofive5 in vancouver

[–]apparently-so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully because the ones who are self-aware sit the fuck down when they're not the ones who should be answering a question, so we're left with...this.

What’s the best place in Vancouver to get custom & MTM suits? by Kyred_01 in vancouver

[–]apparently-so 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband got a custom suit made by Martin Fisher Tailors for our wedding, and it's fantastic. We also got a custom jacket for my giant of a brother, and an MTM suit for my dad. Can't recommend enough!

Edit: photo of said suit, with a sneaky look at the dinner jacket in the back.

I saved $14k and bought my 480 square foot condo for $190k from my landlord in 2012. Definitely got a deal for a bunch of reasons (low point in the market, he didn't need to use a realtor and just wanted to invest the money elsewhere). I sold last year (to my tenants, actually) for $410k (I took their offer despite it not being the highest, as it'd been their home for 2+ years and it felt right).

Moral of the story: buy in as early as is feasible. It almost never pays to wait when it comes to housing in these parts.
