1st Date tonight - restaurant Recomendations

4 Upvotes

Hi all!

I've got a first date tonight (Me 42F, him 51M). I plan things for a living, I'm also jetlagged AF from getting back from England on Sunday.

I cannot make a decision on where to go.

Please recommend places cause my brain isn't braining.

EDIT - he lives in Duncan, I live in Nanoose

Edit #2 - we’ve decided on a place, but I’m not going to say cause some of y’all are VERY critical without knowing the whole story.

Kids community

5 Upvotes

Good day everyone,

I just relocated to nanaimo with my wife and two children. My wife is homeschooling our kids which is making it difficult for our kids to create new relationships. In prince George we had a local card shop that would host kids to play pokemon/dungeons and dragons on Saturdays. Does anyone know if nanaimo has something like that? My son is 11 and is really hurting for a community like he had before.

Any help would be incredible. Thank you!

I keep seeing comments about how REAL NANAIMO candidates and the party are weridos or insane

84 Upvotes

This is dangerous because it's important to remember they are well organised and pick people to play into the grift

They want to spread chaos and fear so they can make money off it

It's more American culture coming here with a play book well studied.

Don't just write it off as werid

Why I won't support any business that supported them, it's not politics as normal it's attempt to change Canadian politics to more outrageous American style division

Looking to meet new people! (27F & 24M)

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My brother (24M) and I (27F) have recently moved back to Nanaimo and are looking to expand our social circle and meet some new people.

We’re both pretty sporty, enjoy karaoke, and are down for things like playing sports, going out, trying new activities, grabbing food or just hanging out. We’re basically looking for good people to make memories with and have fun!

We’re also both single, so this is a bit of a long shot, but who knows 😂 We’re open to making new friends and potentially meeting someone special along the way.
If anyone’s in a similar position or just looking for new people to hang out with, feel free to reach out ! Or if you can point us in the right direction to socialize that’d great too x

Globe Halloween Show tickets

• Upvotes

Hi friends!

My friend and I accidentally both bought two sets of 2 tickets for the upcoming Halloween show at the globe on Saturday October 24th!
We both thought we were buying them for the other person.

Since I can’t get a refund on the tickets, I would be happy to sell them to anybody who wants them for $40!
I’m not looking to turn a profit, I paid $43 for them

Let me know!

Around 7,000 votes already cast in Nanaimo. That's a big jump on the last election. A sign of a bigger turnout? Or just people preparing for the provincial election next weekend?

Ducks

13 Upvotes

Somebody's ducks are loose on Nanaimo River Road close to the South Forks corner. I tried for about half an hour to get them off of the road however they were quite determined to stay in the middle. I don't want to see them get hit, but I had to go just hoping somebody from their household sees this.

I know they're doing a whole bunch of upgrades to the building but a large section of the field by the main road is fenced off and the trees also fenced. Anyone know what's going on?
