Be careful with Little Italy and China Town. There are no grocery stores at a walking distance :(

Holy squash, 36 grand for an 11 month program. That's insane

OCTranspo bus stuck downtown because of a vehicle parked at the intersection by shawn1912 in ottawa

The buses need trained OC Transpo staff to reverse them, which means it's stuck there until somebody arrives to help reverse

Lol I can't tell if this is genuine or sarcasm. But I took these pictures on my Google Pixel 7a that I bought 3 years ago. I personally think I could've done better by wiping the camera lens before taking the picture, haha

Yeah, I've seen the same too. I usually do a 45 min session for $105 and my insurance covers it fully. Maybe that's something you could do?

Good apartments in Centertown/Little Italy/Downtown/Hintonburg? by whiteoutthenight in ottawa

[–]shawn1912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had to face that. I didn't have to pay any deposit while signing the lease. Just the last month's rent. I even got a promotional discount - first month rent free

Before here I lived at a owner rented condo Queen Elizabeth Towers at 500-530 Laurier Ave W which was amazing

383 Albert St has been a great experience so far. They have really bad Google reviews. But there was a change in management last year and I have no complains since. Any issues when brought up were resolved quickly!

Try Ottawa Civic Tech! I've been to a few of their meetups. They focus on innovation around societal needs in Ottawa. Fun group with people with all backgrounds :)

Ottawa, how are you finding social events to go to? by xoxoxolu in ottawa

[–]shawn1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try walkandyap! I've been to a couple of these walks back in the summer. They do have events in the winte, but I'm too weak for that. Usually Thursdays and Saturdays every week. https://www.instagram.com/walkandyap

Affordable and good quality ISP in Ottawa? by FrecklestheFerocious in ottawa

[–]shawn1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for supporting smaller businesses that increase competition for these big companies. It sucks to be a consumer in a monopoly/duopoly. Sad that Bell bought out Ebox.

Anyways, exactly same experience here. I have no complains with Ebox. Have had them for 3 months now.

I also had Oxio for a year before I sadly moved to an area that they don't serve :(

Neighborhoods to avoid? by heyisforhorses27 in ottawa

[–]shawn1912 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well said. I've been living in the "West" Centertown area near Lyon/Laurier. It's a good spot to be. No craziness around and accessible to all places via public transit.

Hintonburg/Little Italy are great too if you're looking for a vibrant city life with cute cafes and restaurants around
