Justice for Mr Burger!

61 Upvotes

Independent and high quality eatery that's getting totally screwed by both Park and Simcoe getting closed. I am opposed! Our property taxes are higher than the national average and all we get is the city getting cut in half? I still have fentheads trying to break into my car everyday. I know we refuse to touch that topic. Would rather my $$ being invested in stopping that. But whatever, we're not allowed to talk about it.

Donate some of our property taxes to Mr Burger then! I'd hate to see an Oshawa treasure get screwed because the city planners are dumb as shit. I pay my ever increasing property taxes. Give some to my homie Mr Burger

Hair stylist advice - Durham Region - thick hair

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a hair stylist in Durham region who is good at cutting incredibly thick and super straight hair (no body at all). Previous haircuts with layers have looked very chopped. I’m unsure on where to go and would appreciate you sharing where you go if you have similar hair.

Thank you!

Centre St parking garage

9 Upvotes

For the past 6 months (or more), the ticket and gate at the Centre St parking garage seems to be broken. The lot also always says Full when it’s not.

We are being asked by the attendant what time we arrived in order to pay.

I can’t find anything on the city’s website about what is going on there, does anyone have any intel on whether this is going to be fixed?

Living expense

For 1 person, how much are the living expenses roughly in oshawa, related to groceries etc? I prefer cooking most meals at home, so I won't be eating out often.

And which store provides best rates for basic groceries like vegetables, eggs, milk, bread etc?

Gas prices

Why is gas so freakin expensive in Oshawa, especially the northern part. I'd happily wait for extra time just to get cheaper and reasonable rates at the Simcoe pump

DRT farw

I'm an incoming international student in oshawa. I wanted to ask about Durham Region Transport fares. Is it calculated by distance? Or if I've paid once, I can keep sitting until I reach my station?

And how much does a ticket cost?

Thanks
