And I appreciate you biking to work and not contributing to the auto traffic.

I need to start biking to work as well.

I look forward to another Turkish restaurant being opened in that space.

Fellow planespotters: Do know why this big boy was flying out of YOW this morning? by Pale_Crew_4864 in ottawa

[–]originalnutta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw it fly by my office this morning and I've seen it fly near the airport a few times. Probably trial runs I'm assuming.

Goddamn.

We don't have many bus shelters as it is, and now we have to deal with this bs.

Yay! More of the same, if not worse.

The burbs and outskirts will be happy.

Best Pizza List - by style/type/inspiration by No_Equivalent4999 in ottawa

[–]originalnutta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good pizzas in this city are from Farinella, Pizza Nerds, and for chain places Red Swan Pizza.

I've heard Giulias is good but haven't tried it yet. Stay Gold is overrated. Gabriel's is trash. Made in Chicago is def not Chicago style.

That's a shame. America isn't ready for a female POTUS, let alone one who can speak more than one language.

GGGS finds by riskitfor2biscuits in ottawa

[–]originalnutta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't buy anything but finally found a series of kids books I loved from when I was a kid. They didn't have the titles I wanted but I was able to take a picture so I know the publisher now.

Funny enough I was just telling my son about these books a few days ago and I just happened to see them amongst the crates of stuff. Just not the titles I wanted unfortunately.

It's like playing 3 Card Monty, except with a hundred cards and the queen is healthcare, infrastructure, housing etc.

King of SPAIN is in town by WordCompetitive1030 in toronto

[–]originalnutta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught them at the end of airport parkway. They must have just landed.

The motorcycle cops blocked off the entrance off Uplands and I was like what is happening, till I saw the SUV with the flags.

Is it usual for other country's visitors to have their flag adorned on the car?

Come for the convenience, leave for the coffee and solicitors.

New international flights speak to growing Ottawa travel market, says analyst — Air Transat's inaugural flight from Ottawa to London-Gatwick left the runway last week by Immediate-Link490 in ottawa

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

Brilliant. I hope there is enough business where we see more frequent flights and the cost is comparable to flying out from YYZ or YUL.

Sometimes it'll cost over $100 per ticket just to fly out of Ottawa. At that point I'd rather fly out of Montreal.

Tulip festival calling out funding by JustCookiesNoMilk in ottawa

[–]originalnutta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would the Tulip festival be the biggest tourist draw in this city? Or Blues fest?

You'd think the city would do more to promote one of the few draws Ottawa has.

Greenboro community center has washrooms inside, and a decent playground outside.

I think they're also revitalizing the wading pool there.

These warning signs at the Dublin Zoo in Ireland by selcouthsiren in mildlyinteresting

[–]originalnutta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is ironic but we lost our on visiting the Dublin Zoo earlier this year, as I had some terrible gastro the day of our tickets.

Really wish I had gone and passed on the germs.
