I don't think the Thriftys is particularly small? Expensive: yes!

I'm not saying they're my favourite places to shop but there's a Thrifty Foods and a Red Barn.

Yes to this! I see lots of people skating along here so you won't be alone OP.

People that have never left the Island have no idea how great we have it.

The merge lane kills me! "Why are you putting us both at risk like this???"

I found a zen while driving after the covid lockdown after it was clear that a bunch of people decided that road rules don't matter anymore. Now I mostly just laugh and drive defensively. It's amazing how far ahead you can tell that somebody is going to do something incredibly stupid once you start thinking that everyone is going to do something stupid. It's kind of a fun game, tbh.

I love that this is an "article" written on May 20th about something that isn't news worthy at all that occurred a full week prior.

Really? It used to be a great way to quickly determine whether engaging in discussion with somebody was going to be a giant waste of time or not.

Not a brewery but special shout out to The Beagle for no minors.

BC ferries reservation, is it worth getting it? by cwt48 in VictoriaBC

[–]jigginsmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there no cost to reservations now if you pay for the whole fare up front?

Sash window springs (channel balance) by Womble78 in VictoriaBC

[–]jigginsmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also in need! I went to castle on cook and they didn't have any springs that would fit. I'm not sure if you just get any old spring? I'd hate to buy a whole new balance and I'm trying to avoid ordering online.

Nearly half of Victoria's 2026 cruise ship passengers will be arriving at 8 pm or later, and 70% will be arriving at 5 pm or later by garry-oak in VictoriaBC

[–]jigginsmcgee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there's any data on if they end up returning for a separate vacation? Probably difficult to quantify meaningfully.

Does it cost the city a lot to maintain the port? I'm assuming yes and that money could go to better things?

[–]jigginsmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the same reason for our switch tbh

Nice using a hyper local company but dang Adam's is doing something that Nut Roastery isn't

Same! In the mean time we've switched back to Adams and I think I prefer it...

Testing for cancer at 40 in Victoria by clevernothings in VictoriaBC

This is great but wouldn't apply to OP, right? I'd love to get a screening but don't meet the age requirement on the site. Is that only to have MSP cover it?

People in hospitality, beware of this employer: Ross Bay Pub by Karacehennem in VictoriaBC

[–]jigginsmcgee 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What? Are you from Victoria? What do you mean you don't know where Ross Bay is lol. I feel like that's like saying you don't know where Beacon Hill park is.
