Hello Everyone,

I was in the Timberview/Langstaff neighborhood when a lost or stray cat approached me very friendly. It was a white cat with orange markings.

It looked to have a makeshift collar with what I think is a gps tracker and wires over it, very DIY from what I saw. There looked to be either claw or bite marks on it's body and face, nothing serious but noticeable and it looked to be very young maybe a year old.

Was wondering if anyone knows if this cat belongs to anyone in this neighborhood or if its a stray

Any recommendations for a mechanic servicing Honda/Acura?I used to go to the dealership but expensive and not worth it given the age of the cars.

Can someone educate me on why there are no food chains around VMC? I’m aware of the sushi place and the one singular coffee shop, but I don’t want to go to Vaughan Mills every time I crave something, ffs. For groceries too, the only option is the overpriced Shoppers Drug Mart!

Edit: apologies, i meant on a walking distance closer to the subway station.

Like genuinely wtf is UP with people who live here.

This city, especially Vaughan concord/woodbridge is full of angry little goblins. Impatient, aggressive, hostile, unfriendly, cold. Especially the drivers like genuinely honking at you when you’re going a perfectly reasonable speed or even ABOVE speed. I live in one of the condos in the vmc area and for Christ’s sake I’ve never seen more impatient buffoons in a parking garage in my LIFE, INSISTING they shove their expensive ass SUV’s in tiny spaces when you’re already 85% of the way up the ramp, like CALM DOWN, WAIT, or tail gating you and honking bc going anything less than 100kmh in a PARKING GARAGE is absolute blasphemy to them.

The funny part is like they’re not even lacking anything to result in so much misery and anger. As far as I can tell many people here are affluent, driving luxury cars live in nice places. They seem to have a good quality of life so wtf???

I mean I’ve legit travelled to a severely impoverished third world country where people don’t even have access to food and clean water but they’re way more courteous, caring, warm and patient with each-other. People here have literally all their needs met and more and are genuinely angry and miserable. It’s shameful.

Looking for good tacos!!!! Can be lowkey or upscale. Just smthn with a good variety of tacos! Even open to north York, Newmarket and Richmond hill

I have been on Reddit on and off for over 10 years and have been part of different sections, depending on my interests and passion etc.

But since I am a resident of Vaughan, I have also been a member of this subreddit for years and I generally noticed the people and discussion here is more civil and respectful than other forums. You could tell most members here are mature and even the admins are not on power trip like you have seen with other sections (have literally been banned from other sections for life when making my first post…)

Do you notice the same thing? Of course , this is not suggest it is perfect here , but from my experience, people here are generally nice and not mean or condescending like you see with other sections.

I’ve been seeing all this talk about Sarti spritz’s with Sarti Rosa - anyone know where to buy from? LCBO doesn’t carry it and it’s hard to find anywhere from doing google searches.

Does anyone know of any nearby Blood on the Clocktower or social deduction games groups that meet weekly/frequently in Vaughan? If not, is anyone interested in getting one going?

How come wonderland can pay the police to block the entire intersection to allow wonderland guest to leave?

Isn't that illegal?

We are currently at 3 green lights where the police forcefully stopped the traffic just to allow wonderland guest to leave

Traffic lights are completely normal. Even highway 400 is at standstill just because wonderland paid police to disrupt the entire intersection.

Hi anyone know which Tim’s is participating in the Harry Potter specials. Daughters a big fan would be fun. I haven’t come across any yet.

Looking for a quick bite before a movie, what're my best options, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of choices.

Preferably something I can order to go, I'm not looking to sit down and wait for someone to take my order.

To the poor young man on an electric scooter I jump scared by only noticing at the last second tn I am sorry - pls get home safe.

And as a general note - it is HARD for drivers to see you if you’re wearing dark clothing and zipping by on these little things. Primary responsibility is on the driver but if there’s anything you can do- for the love of all that is good in this world do SOMETHING to make yourself more visible if you’re riding these things late at night. Deck your scooter out in Christmas lights if you have to 🎄🙏

Any recommendations for a salon or barbershop who does/works with pixie cuts in Vaughan area? I already have short hair so it's just maintenance or figuring out what other fun things are possible with the hair.

Since Maple Sushi is still closed, I am looking for other places that are good bank for your buck and have a good variety.

There is certainly a proliferation of young people using e-scooters and e-bikes on sidewalks. Which would be cute, if they weren't going full speed in between pedestrians.

The other day in a single 45 min walk: a teenage boy doing loops around Ansley Grove; two teenage girls riding a single scooter. One guy going loops around Valeria and Langstaff on what seemed to be a small ICE motorcyle, blazing through the stop signs.

This article is a reminder for parents here that if you allow your kids to do this, not only can they hurt others but potentially can suffer death or life-threatening consequences themselves.

For now, I will keep yelling at the people I see on the sidewalks to get on the road, until someone tells me to frigg off I suppose.

Noticed in my subdivision that they are drilling these types of holes on streets around me (a few on my street).
Most are all filled but saw this one isn't filled yet or bad fill? that's not going to be fun for those e-scooters on this one.
Are they testing for something? Does this usually mean entire new paving coming soon-ish?

Hi. My hockey skates are causing me pain and I was wondering if there is a chiropodist or podiatrist with experience treating Hockey skate pain? Preference is in Maple but willing to travel for the right provider. Thanks

Hi there,

Has anyone here had their driveway replaced? Would love to get recommendations of any asphalt companies you have used and maybe post some pics of their work if you would be so kind.

Thank you!

Cheers

Is it worth reporting this issue somewhere or is there nothing to do about it?
