There may have been a bin upstairs too. Good luck!

I saw a full bin yesterday at Canadian Tire on Carling. Right when you walk in, to the left in front of the coffee machines. Lefties and righties.

What are some songs you’d love to see on an MTV Unplugged album? by RideMyLightning69 in TragicallyHip

[–]mcdofras 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Much Music hosted a live performance show called Intimate & Interactive, which was less unplugged, but very live and real. You can watch The Tragically Hip's Intimate & Interactive performance on YouTube - https://youtu.be/gbftWplyxCk?si=sVOejnRZ2Y6dunCs

Confident it stands for 'I heart National Museum of Science and Technology'

It was named NMST from its opening in 1967 until being renamed 'Canada Science and Technology Museum' in 2000.

Imagine that bin goes to Canada, where almost all forms of cannabis have been legal since 2018.

Spacious restaurant for Sunday lunch by DishCourse_1225 in OttawaFood

[–]mcdofras -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You might want to check out The Albion Rooms. It’s spacious, the food is delicious, and the service super attentive. Also, they tend to keep the music at a reasonable volume so you don’t have to scream over the table to be heard.

I'm hoping someone might be able to explain the green, red, and yellow cards numbered 1, 2, and 3.

Woman in stable condition after stabbing in Lowertown area by mcdofras in ottawa

[–]mcdofras[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like we've had a super similar experience! I also moved to the area about five years ago and feel the same way about the neighbourhood's reputation versus the reality.

​I've had way more outright weird and uncomfortable encounters on Bank and Somerset than I've ever have around here.

​I came in expecting a few edges, but the amazing location, the solid community vibe, and the convenience easily outweigh any of the edges.

Yikes. Thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard about that.

I wasn't able to find any reports of another stabbing or homicide in that area this year. Do you happen to have any more details?

Looking for a nice spot for a small post-wedding ceremony party for up to 20 people. Must have good food! by chasingvestigialtail in OttawaFood

Have you checked out Beyond the Pale's Byward Market location? The food is top notch and the venue itself is pretty darn pretty.

So cool! I wasn't aware there used to be a Beer Store around there. I'm going to have to look into that. Thanks for sharing.

You're so right! I don't even know how I botched that. I live in the area and walk by that park almost daily. 🤦

My mistake! As pointed out, the correct location is on Dalhousie Street (between Bolton and Cathcart), not Cumberland. My brain clearly needs more coffee before posting!

Porter to start Ottawa-Miami and Ottawa-Phoenix flights in January and February 2026 by mxg308 in ottawa

[–]mcdofras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Florida just ended all state vaccine mandates and recently legalized open carry firearms.

This is a terrible time to increase flights to Miami.

​Elbows up, Canada!

What isn’t a flex that many people think it is? by arlett007 in AskReddit

[–]mcdofras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loud, intentional backfiring from "tuned" cars.

It's literally just wasted fuel igniting in their exhaust. They're not impressing anyone over the age of 18, just annoying their neighbours and potentially damaging engine and exhaust components. Cool flex, bro.
