@ConsumerSOS They were parked in a loading zone (lastplats).

@SjamieIt @mitchintheO Yup, we could choose between Nepean and GCI. It's like that all the way to west end of Central Park. Interestingly enough, east side of Clyde is Nepean/GCI, but across the street on the west side it is Woodroffe.

@SjamieIt @mitchintheO Caption area for GCI is even bigger than the 1st pink map. It covers Carlington and Central Park west of Merivale too. It was a good 2x7km bike ride for offspring for four years. Bike never got stolen.

@DevineSean I was just in Hamilton last week - opted to try the bus everywhere instead of renting a car! Service was amazing, on time, cheap and frequent! I would bus more often in Ottawa if that was the case here too.

@mchkzn At the same time Little Victories is opening a new cafe at Queen and Bank

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@Laskinator2 @Bridgehead I wonder if it could be lease issue?

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@mchkzn Takumi's is new since the summer, but it has turned out to be a destination restaurant. Northern Chinese, including table BBQ. It is packed most nights, and you definitely need a reservation Fri-Sun.

@DerrickSimpson_ Thanks for posting here, hope to see you back after your break. I'm always learning from your content.

@maskupsweden Bor själv i Kanada och sedan en vecka kan alla över 6 månader (!) få den nya boostern. Släkten därhemma förstår ej varför 🤷🏻‍♀️

@_MarkSutcliffe I would love to have my say, which is I would prefer this land to be converted into a active living space. NOT what you are proposing. Where is the option to disagree?

@mchkzn Outdoor market until end of October, then they move inside

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@SoupFox We will be there too, donning our 3M Auras!

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@SoupFox @paulajroy The replacements were only free within a certain time period. We had one of those and had to pay to get a new one

@APurpleLifeBlog Fleurs et Cadeaux, just on the outskirt of China Town. Literally in an old Chinese gift shop. Direct imported sake and amazing Izakaya inspired food. Book in advance.

@APurpleLifeBlog Bar Darling is a gem, a combo of old dudes reading paper during the day, students in the afternoon and then hopping place in the evening. Amazing small plates and a wide selection of ciders on tap.

@SoupFox And yet, I have never had more people with confirmed Covid around me than now. At the office especially.

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@refashionista I've been going into the office once a week for a while. I wear the exact same outfit every time. Not sure if anyone has noticed.

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@amyvolume @refashionista Feel free to DM

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@SoupFox Us too!!! Me and hubby in Ottawa, and then two days later father and son in Toronto!!

[Anna Ekstrand @vikingmor]

@SoupFox This is nuts, and they are "urgently hiring" too. Starting to see more and more jobs like this.
