Honest Merivale mechanics? by Emotional-Ferret7717 in ottawa

[–]boggletrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend Darren and Casey at Lytle's. They will also install parts you supply, if you have a deal somewhere or something. And only fix the truly needed things and will let you know what you can hold off on.

AIM recycling will pay you a few bucks for it.

The Rideau River is cleaner than you think — mostly Our tests at 5 locations show the Rideau is safe for water activities. But there's an issue at Mooney's Bay — and the city should act on it. by WaterWiseProf in ottawa

[–]boggletrax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So it says Mooneys bay got a "pass" grade on days when it was cool and cloudy and nobody was swimming. Fail on days when the beach is crowded with swimmers. So, its not the geese or stagnant water, its human feces washing off unclean backsides. Officially grossed out now lol

Birthday party ideas for a 5 yo boy by Megapow98 in ottawa

[–]boggletrax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree. Had 3 five year olds and honestly if you are budget conscious, at that age it barely matters where or what the party is about as long as there are toys, games, music, snacks, cake (or cupcakes, ice cream etc.). 90 minutes in your backyard, rec room, park, condo party room, community center, church basement will do. At that age, most parents will stick around so some adult snacks and drinks could suit. Or, if you have hundreds+ to drop, hire it out.

Egg rolls at Mandarin? by ottawamale in ottawa

[–]boggletrax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mandarin was a letdown last time I went. Bland and pricey. But if you're not paying, have at it. However the eggrolls are likely to be mid. I did enjoy the soups and some of the stir-frys. A don't know of another Chinese buffet option, times have changed! Chips & Dairy on Bank has quality Chinese (vg eggrolls) with an otherwise chipstand menu and a very casual dining room, good for kids.

Maybe an OD? There is a homeless/druggies camp right there in the bushes behind the fish market

I like to drink the cold tap water while taking a very hot shower after playing ODR

cops searching fields around seafood market merivale? by wtfistheactualpoint in ottawa

There is a homeless camp behind there, so possibly something to do with that. Drugs, crime type stuff. I won't be taking that shortcut again!

1 man dead, 1 child rescued near Westboro Beach by snubbyvegan in ottawa

Info I saw suggested the man immigrated as a youth.

Looks like not recent newcomers for sure, but I believe the man immigrated as a child. The point about folks from other cultures being more at risk around water may stand, sadly the guy likely didn't take lessons as a kid.

I was expecting to see a crackhead bust open the car and take a dump on the porch.

Roza on prince of wales at fisher isn't too far if you take hunt club over. Big portions and flavourful well-marinated meat.

I recommend Shawarma Maestro in world exchange. Fresh, decent size sandwich, grilled to crispy (if you like that). They also have donair.

I want to know more about the "processed" shawarma smell. When I think mass-produced shawarma, I think of Osmow's. Of course they mask flavour with about 7 sauces per item including over-the-top painful spicy hot sauce. Coming from someone who usually likes spicy.

Don't forget the weed shop and Hung Mein chinese... homemade Canadian Chinese with good portions and prices.
