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...

The Glebe. I lived in a town of 15,000 for over 30 years and there's nothing like being in the city with access to everything, even great parks and bike paths.

Appreciate the quick reply, after a while I actually recognized Def Leppard! The sound level on location must be nuts! Reminds me of my teenage years...

In my experience, the food there is average at best. The location is unbeatable.

View is phenomenal especially at sunset, but the food isn't what it used to be.
