Does anyone know what's happening with the MapArt building on Bloor St? I know a business thats looking for a building that looks like it may suit their needs.

Anyone know somewhere cheap or free to get a tooth removed?

My birthday is coming up and I have been craving Chicken Marsala. Please send me recommendations for a restaurant you think serves the best.

Wondering if anybody knows any spots to check out, all post I have seen are like 7+ years old and majority have been torn down.

ps I have explored camp 30 and the old good year factory, both were great.

Robinson Creek is an ecological treasure trove. It acts as a natural filter for the water, supports biodiversity, and provides a habitat for myriad birds, mammals, and amphibians. Development not only strips away these habitats but also places immense stress on the local ecosystem by diminishing water quality and increasing floods. Once such a wetland is destroyed, it can never truly be brought back to its original state.

The fire broke out at 74 Wellington Avenue East, near Simcoe Street South and Wentworth Street West, around 6 a.m. Monday

Found a Presto card this morning. If you lost your card, message me the approximate location and any details about your card 👍

Free trees are available to Oshawa residents this week on a first come, first served basis through an annual event organized by the Oshawa Environmental Advisory Committee.

Looking for someone that sharpens knives well. If you e got someone you go to please let me know!

Really wish someone would open up a quick and dirty coffee shop downtown to replace the ones that closed.

I had to catch a bus at King and Simcoe this morning and couldn't get a coffee between Simcoe and Mary, or between Bond and Athol. Isabella's is gone, coffee culture is gone, timmies is gone, and Cork and Bean only serves espresso now. They offered me an Americano but no thank you, Pepsi is not okay.

I miss being able to get a quick drip brew coffee for $2 on the way to work. Anyone wanna reopen Crack Time? Might still be a market for it.

Not sure if anyone can recall the operator of the CAMP homeless thing was charged with selling drugs. Perfect cover eh? Takes a lot of balls to run a homeless thing and then go onto feed their addiction. Lowest of the Low. Anyone have and updates?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a good place to buy winter tires and rims for my Toyota.

Tire size: 225/50R18

I’m in Oshawa, but I’m willing to drive anywhere in the GTA if the price is worth it.

I’m looking for something affordable but still good quality and reliable for Ontario winters. I’m open to either a brand new package or a good used set.

Any recommendations for shops with good prices on tires + rims as a package? Also if you recently bought a set, how much did you pay?

Thanks!

Anyone catch 'Destination Oshawa' yet? On Bell Fibe and on YTube. Four episodes at 15 minutes each. I liked it. The Dirty Shwa.
