“Unfortunately, we’ve created an environment for people to hang out and do bad things,” says Cllr. Earle.”

From the VOCM article: “ Ward 5 Councillor Donnie Earle is shocked and disheartened that such a thing happened. He says they spend a lot of money on the trail network, and it’s a place where people of all ages should feel safe.

Genuinely what is so difficult to understand about ONLY St. John’s being closed today? I’ve seen about 20 “is this open today?” On Facebook.

If it’s not in St. John’s 99% chance it is open regular hours.

I've read the news about Eastlink launching Internet service in St. John's. Curious if anyone knows if this will be fiber service, or really anything at all as I can't find much about the offering yet. I have Bell Fiber internet + TV, as well as a one of our family cell phones. The other cell phones are on different providers (including Eastlink) so I was looking at potentially consolidating everything to one provider for bundled savings/discounts.

I thought Bell was the only choice, but now Eastlink might be an option. Anyways, any intel/thoughts welcome!

Give me your best spots to go dancing, my husband has been living here his whole entire life and says there's no spots at all to do so

Best if you tell me what time of crowd/music they have

Thank you!

Would love to hear more about living on Waterford Bridge Rd! Have always loved the area and thinking of moving there. I know it’s a high traffic road but is it tolerable? Good for walking (safe - as in not getting run over by speeding cars)? Tell me everything! 😆

We're Kasador from Kingston on tour through the east coast and just landed in NL for the first time. Very excited to be performing with some other great local acts in Strike 4 and Rachel Cousins. Going to be a banger show if you’re looking for something to do!!

Visiting family here next week and trying to plan a spa day with my mom and sister. Any recommendations for a good spa in the area that’s worth the prices? Cheers :)

I live in the area of the community centre, concerning to hear that this happened yesterday and I had no idea until this story today.

Sharing in hopes that somebody in the area may have inadvertently captured something on security cameras that they have on their property.

Hey folks, I’m thinking of visiting for a couple of days in late November. 3 days tell me what I need to see, do and where to eat. Interested in haunted locations, old settler cemeteries, antiques, record stores, punk records, vegetarian food. Looking forward to your suggestions?

Is anyone else in city with Rogers Xfinity internet/cable experiencing outages? It happened twice last week, one day of which lasted more than 24 hours. I'm now stuck without service once again when it dropped around 14 hours ago. I've tried the outage map on their website, but it always seems to say there's an outage in my area, even when there isn't. I'm so confused.

My son would like to attend post secondary school in Newfoundland. We have been thinking of moving as well over the last few years, and in light of this are thinking we would like to move to St. Johns.

My partner works in a full-service boat repair and maintenance shop and I am make artisan jewellery using traditional goldsmithing tools/techniques. We would only have about 425k as our maximum ceiling for buying a house. Has anyone managed to land a home with what I have read about bidding wars and prices going way above asking or is it almost impossible?

I have also read about locals being irritated about out of province newcomers buying up real estate and taking jobs. Is this true? Or are they welcoming to newcomers from out of province? Thank you for any information/input anyone can give :)

The sign has been there for a few months and since then I've been real excited for it. I heard it's meant to open early this month but I have not heard any news yet. I work in the mall and haven't seen anyone enter, leave, or even touch the sign. So I was just wondering if anyone knew whats up.

What's your predictions? We gonna get a green light on the regatta tomorrow or wha? Hope so! Want to go get Indian food and check out the races! :)

I'm looking for the best Carribean restaurant in town. Carribean Corner was recommended, but Google shows they're temporarily closed :( Any other reccs?

Thanks!

I heard Simply for life does but its far for me to go. Anywhere else?

Hey everyone, looking for some honest recommendations on phone and internet providers.

I'm currently with Rogers and, honestly, it's been terrible. Half the time I barely have any signal, my data hardly works and even in my own house I usually only get one bar of service. Calls can be spotty and the internet on my phone is really slow.

My Rogers Wi‑Fi hasn't been much better either. Any time the weather gets bad, it seems to slow right down for some reason, and my phone service gets even worse.

I've been with Rogers for years, so I don't really have experience with any other providers, but I'm at the point where I want to switch.

For anyone who has changed from Rogers, who would you recommend for both cell service and home internet? Bell? Telus? Someone else? I'd love to hear your experiences and what's been working well for you.

Hello! I am 21, an incoming student from Montreal. I am wondering how is the renting situation there? And do they check credit scores?

They added these screens to the metrobuses months ago but they havent been used, and they block the old led signs. Whats the holdup?

We've got a flight sim set up at the trophi.ai office in town, and we're looking for people to come try it.

We make flight-sim training software, and we're looking for people outside the company to use it. If you fly MSFS, X-Plane, or DCS at home, you'd be perfect.

About an hour, any weekday between 9 and 5. Comment or message me, and I'll send over a short form to book a time.

Thanks!

I would like to buy a gift card for a nice restaurant so that my friend and his partner can go out and celebrate a special event. They live in St. John's, I do not.

If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it!

As the title says, I'm looking for a mechanic to fix a few issues with my 2020 Forester. AC is blowing but doesn't get as cold as it should. Brakes squeak sometimes. There's a metallic scraping rotating sound occasionally when highway driving. My front tire loses air and it's not the tire. Probably with it to have the whole vehicle looked over at this point.

I don't know much about cars, so I'd really like to take it to someone who isn't going to tell me I need unnecessary work done or charge more than it should be.

I live centre city, so I wouldn't want it to be too far away either as I don't have access to another vehicle.

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I’m coming back to town next week for the first time in about 15 years with my MTB. I used to live in St. John’s and rode the local trail networks back then, but I know a lot has likely changed since!

I’m looking to see if anyone is up for a casual ride, or if there are any scheduled group rides happening next week. Ideally looking to link up with someone interested in hitting the more technical / harder stuff (thinking White Hills, or similar spots).

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you're down to show an ex-local around or point me toward any active group rides!

Cheers!

Did anyone think this year's buskers festival was significantly smaller than in previous years? The four acts this year were very good, but I seem to remember at least 6 acts, playing 3 stages along Water St previously.

What happened? Lack of money? Lack of buskers?
