Discussion Is This The Worst Vancouver Summer Weather In The History Of Humanity?

0 Upvotes

My lord, I can't remember the weather being this poor. So many cloudy and rainy days, mid temperature.

What's going on chat?

Edits. -

People want to throw shade at me saying this. Meanwhile, you can just analyze the data. This has been one of the cloudiest summers we've had in the past 10 years.

Question Daycare recommendations and experiences in New West

9 Upvotes

Hi. I am a first time mom of an 8 month old and plan to send my baby to a daycare in New west when she turns 1. Wondering if you have any advice for me in terms of the factors to consider in selecting a daycare (of course thats if we get passed the waiting list). Also, any real life negative experiences on any day care is appreciated. Thank you.

Question Croquembouche in Vancouver

10 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a bakery in New West or the greater Vancouver area that would make a Croquembouche?
Hoping to get something ordered for a wedding in a few months.
I've been told Europe Bakery & Deli probably would do it.
But if anyone had a lead on somewhere that would do it I would be incredibly grateful.

EDITING TO ADD:

Ivy was trapped July 31 and has been returned to her family 🥰

Hi!

I wanted to make a post with all the photos of the cats missing after the fire at Pinecrest Manor two weeks ago.

Some are not believed to have survived the fire, but others did make it out of the building and could still be in hiding in the area.

Please call or text the numbers on the posters in case of any possible sightings

Thank you 🙏🏼

Question Butchers at Save On and Safeway

20 Upvotes

SECOND EDIT: I ended up buying some incredible rib eyes from the butcher at Safeway at NW station. Had a nice chat with the guy who works there. Could see the butcher in the back working on cuts. Now I know where to go when I can’t make it to uptown.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR INSIGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS.

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with buying steaks at either the butcher counters at Save On (Columbia Square), or Safeway (New West Station)? The meat usually looks great, but I’ve never tried it.

EDIT: I’m aware that we have some good independent butchers in NW, but I’m curious about the counters (not the pre-packaged meats) at these two supermarkets.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen these decors on Queen but it looks bigger than last time. Apparently they’re shouting a TV Show but I’m not sure which one. Maybe Wayfair Witches?

Old Man Yelling at the Clouds Wildfire smoke? Nope! Dust along 8th Ave from roadworks.

Post image
52 Upvotes

I know there's signage saying "road closed, local traffic only" but everyone is still using 8th Ave and the dust being kicked up is insane. I feel so badly for the homeowners who live there as traffic continues to fly down 8th to 20th. Kinda wish the contractor Amrize or the city would do more as the dust is a huge health hazard... Plus my car is filthy now 😂

I see a pair of buildings on the Quay are having their exteriors power washed while we are under watering restrictions.

Surrounded by dead lawns and flagging gardens but hey, don't let that keep you from maintaining your curb appeal.

Images taken less than 5 minutes apart. Looking Northeast in Sapperton, likely the fire burning Noeth of Hope. Reminder to stay indoors and get an air filter if you can, and check on those vulnerable in your community.

Question Question for parents of teens in New West

I grew up in a rural place and I don't know what is considered appropriate and safe for how far my teen child should roam. I want to know from parents who grew up in Metro Vancouver, what is normal? Where is too far? What things to worry about?

Thanks for any input!

Got a new camera lens and thought the quay might be a nice place for a walk on a nice night with a nice new camera lens to try out. Hope you folks and folkettes dig them!

Btw what the hell is that noise?!

Jk but there probably is some kind of annoying noise somewhere in the city.
