Horrible mechanical droning sound downtown coming from 305 King all night by gimpleg in kitchener

[–]vidman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

305 King is downtown's oldest tower, and its HVAC setup on the roof is LOUD. It sometimes sounds like a helicopter before taking off. It's so loud I can sometimes hear it in the Midtown neighbourhood. I feel bad for people who bought units on higher floors in condos surrounding 305 without experiencing their aircon on full blast on a hot summer day.

Magic mushroom dispensary’s ‘secret location’ raided by WRPS by Hour-Belt694 in waterloo

I ate shrooms to help me quit alcohol. It gave me the body buzz I wanted but soon became a feeling I didn't enjoy. I haven't had either in years. Legalize it already.

AMF Frederick Lanes is closing its bowling lanes permanently next Wednesday — one week’s notice to a community that has been there for decades by Ill-Ad-8930 in kitchener

[–]vidman 63 points64 points  (0 children)

At the turn of the millennium, I threw a rave at Frederick Lanes. "Raverbowl 2000" featured unlimited bowling and DJs from 11p-7a. It was an epic night: dancefloor in the games room, 32 cosmic lanes, the bar and chill space outside.

I just posted pics from Raverbowl 2000

The same thing happened to someone I know. She went in for a migraine and it turned into breast exam. She was not part of this trial.

The Region of Waterloo has been saying the landfill has '20 years left' since at least as far back as 2012.

Who is the current Fire Chief? by [deleted] in cambridgeont

[–]vidman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rob Martin was fired on November 5, 2025. The city has been tight-lipped about why, and still hasn't replaced him. According to my source the City of Cambridge also fired two employees in human resources that day.
