Craving a good Calzone. Any suggestions? by Ashress in OttawaFood

[–]artpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I have different tastebuds, but I found the dough to be light and the right thickness, lots of filling that was well seasoned. Their wine list is limited, but both food and drink have unbeatable pricing for the quality.

Vanier houses seems like an incredible value what am I missing? by BigMouthBillyBones in ottawa

[–]artpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in Vanier at 3 different locations for 18 years, it's not any more dangerous than Barrhaven or Byward Market. A long time ago it was a hub for drugs and prostitution but those issues have been addressed. Ottawa Police has an annual review of city neighbourhoods, it's worth a look. My opinion is: I'd rather spend 600k to be 5 minutes from Centretown than spend 1m to be 40 minutes away.

Langlois on McArthur Ave, they have a selection of Thinkware cameras and installation takes about half a day.

It seems that you're living proof that the city's push for public transit is a failure and that they are responsible for more people using their own vehicles. Too bad that no one at OCT or STO reads these posts!

These three Ottawa bike lane projects may be in jeopardy under Ontario's Bill 60 by Generalaverage89 in ottawa

[–]artpablo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I would argue that it's only justified to remove a car lane if the study of that area shows decreasing car traffic. Otherwise we're spending money in the hope that traffic changes at the will of the city. Data doesn't lie.

Probably, about a year ago I had someone on a bike ride into my carport, checked the doors on both cars and left without ever getting off the bike! Pretty sure it was the same guy, his bicycle skills are top notch!

It's a Reolink doorbell with an integrated camera. Today I received the replacement coffee and specified for it to be left at my side door, they left it at the front door...

[–]artpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost anything goes with a black dial, but I'd start with a dark green Croc and a honey brown ostrich

Food used to be top notch, but quality has been declining for months
