AMA (Ask Me Anything)

Thinking about going to our first club for Halloween any opinions on this one?

Wondering what the best ride companies are in London, ON? What are your experiences?

I drive down Riverside Dr. a couple times per week. For the past 4-5 months a pair of shipping containers have sat at the Parking Lot beside the boat launch. One's now equipped with a large set of solar panels and the other looks like it has gas service and a restaurant ventilation fan attached to it. They seem to be set up as long-term structures.

I understand the boat launch is anticipated to be reconstructed in 2027, but these seemed to be placed way outside of that schedule, so wasn't sure if it's directly related. https://getinvolved.london.ca/riverside-boat-launch-park

EDIT: I was just informed it's used by the fire department for storage of the items they use during water rescue training exercises

I just wanted to provide some reading material on why a 0% tax increase isn't so great in the long run:

I also wanted to include this article, providing info on the mayoral candidates stance with tax:

And here's some reading on how municipalities work and how we pay for services through taxes:

Edit to add this video link that explains how property taxes are calculated:

Ok, so tomorrow is my 10th wedding anniversary. Initially I was taking my kid to dance class all night, but I’m going to get my brother-in-law to do it instead, so I’d like to take my wife out for supper. If you had a single place, preferably downtown, that you could take your significant other for food, where would it be? Anything is fine, I’d prefer no curry.

Anyone know of any soccer team looking for players for indoor this winter? I moved here 2 weeks ago and I think registration may have closed. I’m 29 female and I love soccer but looking for a recreational team, not super competitive.

i’m trying to decide between two costume ideas for halloween, but i was wondering if bars care about face paint? i’m either going to do full zombie look or just half depending on what they allow. thanks!!

Hey guys it’s been a long time since I’ve been in London, but it used to be our family’s home. Now we live all over Southern ontario.

It’s my parent’s anniversary this weekend and London is a good geographical centre for our family (my 2 parents, 4 adults, 4 grandkids ages 5-10).

We were going to golf 9 holes at Hickory Ridge then do dinner, but it’s looking like it’s going to be chilly and I don’t think it will be much fun for the kids especially if it’s windy.

My sister mentioned The Factory but just looking for some other ideas.

My family has the least money so we’d like to keep the cost under $300 for our family plus my parent’s share.

We had our daughter in a summer "camp" program when she was maybe 5, that met once a week and did a different sport each time.

I'm hoping there is something similar out there that meets more frequently and is more in-depth than just having toddlers running around, because she's starting to take a serious interest in sports and we just don't have the means to sign her up for volleyball AND soccer AND basketball AND etc.

We basically want a sampler pack so she can try new stuff at an entry level, to see what she likes and wants to take further.

We're in the Hyde Park area, but willing to drive a bit. Any suggestions?

hi everyone, I was wondering if it’s safe to run in springbank park early mornings, around 5:30am before the sun comes up. would have a light and hivi, but wondering if it’s sketchy or would there be others in the park already at this time anyways

Does anyone know of or recommend a place that offers a good massage to relieve stress and back knots, and that bills Canada Life (my insurance provider)?

I’m looking for some healthy restaurants that are near white oaks mall, that I can place an order from, pick up and take back to my air bnb tomorrow night. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I can buy bean curd?

Has anyone heard anything about reptilia going under? ? It seems a lot of animal enclosures are empty

Hello,

My wife has a surgery scheduled for her ACL at Fowler's Clinic in December. She is a bit nervous because she has never had surgery before and the surgeon who will be operating just started earlier this year, Dr. Yuta Nakanishi. I did some research and he specializes in ACL, meniscus, osteotomy or kneecap surgery. His credentials seem impressive, but there is no patient reviews. If anyone has had him for an ACL surgery or similar and would like to share their experience, that would be great. Or even their experience with post op at the fowler clinic, and what their experience was like with physiotherapy after, as well as follow-up from the surgeons at the clinic. We are from Saskatchewan, and have only lived in London for three years, so we don't know the reputation of the clinic, or what to expect since we don't know many people who has had this type of operations done.

Thank you,
