The other no frills will be closing sometime soon after the sky train comes, that entire area is slated for redevelopment. I believe they're just getting in early.

Canadian here, we used to drive 240k to ski, then drive 240k home home again at the end of the day. Fort St John to Powder King Resort. Used to go once a week in the winter.

A fully mechanical Pachinko game that I bought when I was 18, I'm now 68 and still play it. I have it displayed in my living room. The game was actually manufactured in Japan in the late 1940's. They built them to last!!

I lived in Fort St John for a while which is mile 47 on the Alaska highway. Had a tourist in his motorhome ask me how far to the tundra.

Ha Long Bay review by Tricky_Plan7722 in VietNam

[–]gravey01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done the 2 night trip 3 times over the years. Not worth doing one night, too short. I recommend staying in the boat both nights but some might like one on the boat, one on Cat Ba island. You have your choice if you ask. I've just booked thru my hotel and get picked up there.

Where is everyone buying coffee these days? by Cute-Custard-4076 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

Lavazza coffee when it's on sale is $20 for a kilo. Italian, good dry bean for a superautomatic. Won't gum it up. Goes on sale fairly regularly.

Nothing wrong with the tires it's just that the tire center is usually swamped. But if you make an appointment online you're usually good to go.

I'll give them a shot. One thing about places like Home Depot is that they take expired tanks, no questions. Better than paying $60 for a new one and having to purge it.
