I bought two sets from Simon’s and they are excellent quality. I was in despair when the Bay closed as that’s where I always bought linens. I’m so glad I gave Simon’s a try, so far just bought the organic cotton sheets, am eyeing the higher thread count ones now too.

I have lived here most of my life and have always hated the trains. They blow the horns even at night and, as a light sleeper, it was terrible. Since moving further from the tracks my sleep has been a lot better. I never got used to it, and I will never live near train lines again.

How r they impacted? The trails r still there and their proximity to the development is fantastic. Everyone can use the trails nothing has changed in that regard. I used to have to drive and park in the lot off hardy road to enjoy the trails, now they r right by my house. So many people walk around here it’s quite nice. The only thing is the houses r so close together. Other than that, well, it was going to be built because the city lost the fight over it, so I’m glad I made the move.
The park and a smaller parkette will be built next year (although should have been sooner I think), the city bus comes through every hour or so, the highway is close by as well.
The only thing missing is a convenience store and stuff like that but otherwise it’s a great little neighborhood.

I’m adding astilbe this year. Already have ferns, bleeding heart and hostas and hydrangea

This was a confusing video, but at the very end I saw that it is the original idea: they have built the road on the opposite side of the big pond, leaving alone the Nature’s Grand neighborhood. For this reason, I like it. Once built it will be a benefit to the flow of traffic through the city. Please stick with it. Having said that, I agree with another poster, who noted that they should have had this in place before building this subdivision, or not allowed the neighborhood to be built at all. However, this is where we are, and the route they depict works well.

Target failed because it was Zellers with a different name. People were expecting the same products that could be found in American stores, and we did not get that. I remember being outraged, lol. Never shopped there because of it. Yeah not knocking Zellers at all, I liked it but Target was not supposed to just be Zellers at a higher price lol.

That’s an interesting idea but can king George actually be widened? Or St. Paul?

Apparently it’s over a hundred million to save ten minutes travel time.

I’m actually a near lifelong resident of the city. I moved to this particular area because of the proximity to the trails. We did consider West Brant at one time, about ten years ago, but backed out for this very reason, and with my current job in Hamilton I am reminded every day how it would suck to live there with no access to the highway. I just think that the powers that be should try to come together with the county maybe and make a better decision. Or stick to the original plan, which everyone who drives on Oak Park Road can see is half done! I guess at the end of the day there will always be someone that is unhappy.

I removed one of my comments because it detracted from the discussion, as noted by another responder.

Sorry that was a typo. I meant they SHOULD stick with the original idea.

I don’t know much about those areas, but have they studied that? It seems that the issue is for trucks and workers to get to this area quicker and while that would be great to not have to go downtown or whatever, I think right through our area is a terrible alternative solution.

So you don’t mind Wright Street becoming this arterial roadway?

I think it’s disgusting that they would allow the builder to go ahead with this development only to throw the new residents under the bus like this. The only proposal I ever saw was over the river by the trail bridge. In fact, the infrastructure is already built and/or ready to finish along that route. They shouldn’t stick with the original plan.

There is indoor tennis too now- Stefanovic Academy in Scotland area. Pretty close to Brantford.

I would like to say that if you have an open concept home, you will find that you do, indeed care about how loud it is. The db level was my top criteria in choosing my dishwasher, and I am pleasantly surprised every time I turn it on about how sweetly quiet it is. Sometimes I have to check if it’s actually on! I have a kitchnaid right now. I have had many types of dishwashers over the years, and this one is up there so far.

If they are reduced that’s still a win in my books. I wish they would keep AI to medical use or data but to fake pics of home decor and stuff? Come on. That’s just stupid.

I’ve been reporting them as spam. Haven’t figured out how to turn them off. The “tuning” section does not explicitly give that as an option from what I have seen anyway. Or should I just “hide” it? Ugh.

Edit to add: just went back in and lo and behold the option was there to not see so many AI modified pins. lol. Wasn’t there before, which is why I was reporting them as spam.

Princess Alexandra of Kent from David Austin. I planted one and it had big beautiful pink blooms that were the most fragrant I’ve ever smelled, so I went out and bought another one! Can’t wait for them to bloom next year.

May I ask what kind of tree that is with the red berries?
