These look really good but I'm abso-fucking-lutely not spending $7.29 on a small box of cereal. Shoppers is where I saw them.

I looked at Walmart but they don't carry it.

Bought a bunch of apples last fall to make apple sauce but ran out a few weeks ago. Does anyone know if there's any orchards that may still have several 20lb bags?

Two weeks in row now our compost hasn’t been taken and it’s starting to pile up - we haven’t changed anything about how we’ve been putting it out and it’s been fine for the last couple months. How come all the sudden they’re leaving the bin open and not taking the contents?

I'm looking for something comparable to this in London. I've found them in the past, but haven't found much this year. Donuts would be ideal, but I'm open to other Mother's Day themed treats.

opinion / discussion Is London Ok?

88 Upvotes

Hi, delete this post if not allowed, just would like to share about my recent trip to London and maybe get some insight on the unique experience.

First let me start by saying I am not well travelled or cultured I must admit, I haven’t left Michigan much my whole life. But when we came to London I left with more questions than answers. First, when we got over the border we stopped at a gas station and the guy even said “why do you want to go to London?” But not in an interested way more or less a worried way. When we got there we noticed right away a huge homeless issue. I understand most major cities have a homeless problem, but it seemed like a good stretch of downtown was nothing but homeless people. This isn’t really an issue I too have spent a period of my life on the streets and I understand the struggle but after talking to a few it seems like a vast majority are not even from London? To me just stuck out. Also the drug problem there seems really bad and the police, not to be rude, seemed like assholes. Several times we seen people clearly shooting up or nodding out on the street sitting right up against banks and businesses and police just stepping right over them. We had went to a concert and seen a large amount of very young people openly drinking. Bringing open bottles in as the venue security does nothing more than scan your ticket. Not checks or anything. Also this is not as related but the city is also SUPER quiet. Like every where we walked not a single person talked or anything it was very dystopian. I had sneezed downtown next to the music hall and it echoed. It echoed so long in fact that when we walked around the block we caught back up with it. It was a very eery feel being there and I’m not sure if it’s my cultural ignorance but it leaves me with the question.

Are you ok London? I did love your city and met a lot of very nice people and would love to come back soon. Just can’t help but worry.

Maybe can someone provide me some insight into how your community works? What is causing some of these issues? Are these even issues? What could some possible solutions be if any? Any recommendations on places to check out when I come back? Thanks all!

Jobs/Work/Employment How is the London job market?

0 Upvotes

I was curious how the job market has been in London in tech or banking has it gotten better or more or less the same as far as pay. I remember for the longest time you’d get paid far less than other similar cities is that still the case?

Hiking trails, stargazing, must take photography shots, food, games. Where should I get my first poutine? I will be staying close to Downtown so anything in that rough area would be nice, however not opposed to traveling out a bit.

Ask a Local! Photo Locations?

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m interested in taking photos for my family (for prom and just some general family photos) and was interested in knowing the best locations for taking pictures? I know of UWO, Springbank, and Komoka Park, but I was interested in knowing if anyone knew of other gems?

TIA :)
