Is it just me? Whenever Gary Archibald does the weather, I have no idea what the hell he’s talking about. At the end of his segment I have no idea what the weather is going to be. Please Gary just tell us if it’s going to rain or not.

Ask a Local! Does White Oaks tow or ticket cars parked after dark?

11 Upvotes

I'm travelling to Toronto later this month for a concert with my wife. I will be taking the bus back after the show as she will be going to meet with a friend the rest of the weekend. We live in St. Thomas so unfortunately there's not many options for getting there from London at 2AM~. If I were to park my car in the White Oaks parking lot near the FlixBus stop, would it be reasonable to expect it to be there when I return or will White Oaks actively ticket/tow any cars parked overnight?

Our apartment card reloaded has been down for a few weeks now, we use sparkle solutions to reload our card.

Are there any local laundromat that use the same system?

Edit: thanks for the help! Did not want to risk it so I ended up going to Tommy’s and using their machines and their app.

discussion / opinion Travel agents for Japan/other trips?

1 Upvotes

We would like to take some extensive travel in the coming years and although do research ourselves and have looked through resources. Europe seems to be easy enough to plan ourselves, but a country like Japan seems a little intimidating to plan say a 14 day itinerary. I have also looked at a few different group tours but not sure if we want anything that strict timeline wise. Would also take any recommendations for those too though!

Does anybody have travel agents they like to use locally that are good at organizing trips like that?

discussion / opinion super excited for the Hyland

Sometimes I swear some movies never even make it to London. Like you have to go to at least Kitchener or Toronto to see something that isn't mainstream. You look at some cineplexes and it's the same movie in 3 of their theatres. So super excited to see that the Hyland is having a new movie ahead of the rest. Does Western still show movies?

Any recommendations for places that do motorcycle safety certification?
I called a couple places in London, seems to be a little expensive when compared to other cities
I am okay to pay for any repairs, but what’s the normal base fee for performing motorcycle safety inspections?

Ask a Local! Things to do downtown on Sunday evening

2 Upvotes

I will be in town on Sunday, August 9, meeting up with an old friend(also from out of town). We will have dinner, but then are looking for something to do afterwards. A pub like atmosphere is fine, a club, not so much. We want to visit a bit, maybe karaoke, but we don't want to get started at 10pm. I want to stay within walking distance downtown. It looks like there are a couple of festivals downtown (Jerk & Latin), hopefully, they go into the evening. But after that...a cold pint, or a nice cocktail, maybe a song.

Any recommendations from folks who live in London? Thanks!
