hi all, wrote this one today in response to conservative voters

I’m taking my kid into Vic for Halloween because we live in farm lands where trick or treating isn’t really an option! Any tips for some awesome streets that will be bustling with kids and decorated spooky homes?

Hey folks- I just tried to make an appointment for Nov 7th, after we were supposed to move to StandardTime, and the calendar (the one with Rogers/Shw webmail) wouldn't let me!! It wants me to reset my time zone to something it recognizes, as the warning says "we are unable to identify the time zone in your area. Please choose one from the list...."

Anybody else run into this and how did it work for you?

BTW- I wonder what Microsoft has in store for the million or so Windows PCs affected by this decision.

I think this one will be the next to Burn. It is at the corner of Douglas at Chatham.

Looking to get my 3rd lobe holes done and maybe a couple cartilage piercings!

Someone did Victoria a Favour.

Hi redditors! Looking for a quiet pub in downtown as my wife is retiring, has hearing aids and would like to be able to hear conversations without shouting.

Let me know.

I've never really done much for Halloween, so I don't know what goes on. I have a funny costume I wanna wear but it's probably too slutty for me to wear around children. What events are taking place where people dress up and is ideally only adults?

Island bus requires booking a day in advance, so I guess I'm just stuck up here for another day. If we aren't going to get a train, we at least need to get reliable bus route, this is absurd.

Looks like lies again from a political party. Cost of living hasnt gone down 1 penny. Look at house prices. Astronomical still! Pretty pissed off. After all the talk and the keys being handed to them all we have gotten so far is par for the course. I had to resort to 2 can dine for $20.99 at Burger King tonight just to feed me and my spouse. Glad I didnt vote. Be even more angry if I voted and nothing changed.

I spent many years participating in the Halifax Sport and Social Club, making many friends along the way. Recently moved to Victoria, and found that there's a chapter here. Signed up for an account and started browsing the calender. There's 1 season of volleyball, and that is it.

What gives?

Not stuffy old lady place.. any thoughts, anyone have someone in any of the seniors homes, independent living I guess, that aren’t like grandmas house?

Anyone know what the incredibly loud droning sound is off Quadra near the Shell station? Quadra and Falmouth/Palmer? It’s almost midnight and it has been going on for at least half an hour. It sounds like construction noise, like jackhammering or an incredibly loud car staying in the same spot.

After telling CTV that “The challenge in responding to these accusations is that there are also many fake posts attributed to me, generated by people looking to attack me” Wendy Bowkett has now deleted her X account, effectively scrubbing the evidence.

Is there any good place to get used DVDs for fairly cheap in Victoria? Thanks!

Howdy folks! Looking to watch some salmon jumping up/on/over things again this Fall, but not sure if the season has started yet or not.

Has anyone gotten any good sightings yet? When's the best time of the season to go? (and time of day, for that matter)

Also looking for new spots to watch from. Any recommendations other than Goldstream Provincial Park?

I'm sure you haven't heard of more than half of these or you heard of some but never watched. It's not as big of a list compared to Vancouver shot movies and tv shows but of the ones that did film here that you did watch, did you like any of them? I personally liked White Chicks, 2012, Final Destination, Deadpool, Scary Movie, Maid, Outer Limits and now Yaga

Costco had me eating 3/5 meals as tacos thanks to these bomb-ass corn tortillas (the good, restaurant kind, not the too-big, too-processed grocery story trash) but they are no longer available so I ask to you--no, I plead--where in our great area can I find some downright straight up authentic Mexican yellow corn tortillas so I can get back on that taco train. I will not accept any big ol' white/flour heresy.

I thought I heard Esquimalt had a place?

How did it pass fire inspections? Were there working sprinklers? And since it is now demolished so soon after, I'm assuming there will still be an investigation as to cause. Firefighters took a defensive position, understandable, but what about news reports of missing person?

Robin Kimpton is in Van now. Will he be investigated? I hope. I've met him, and he is an ornery man with little care for others. He was renting suites illegally. Was the city aware of this? And no, this was never a supportive housing site. Just a vacant hotel owned and run by a slum lord.
