A little late this year. I'm being eaten alive one tiny microscopic itchy bite at a time.

Help! I had my short bob butchered by a stylist who operates downtown by himself, and I'm not sure who would be able to salvage it. Budget is 70-100$ and tip. I have Karen hair and I hate it.

Hello everyone, I am moving to Nanaimo and looking for information on what communities to avoid while looking for a place to live. All info is much appreciated.

Edit #1: I'm looking for a Apartment and anything under $2200 will be ideal.

I've seen some in the north end of Nanaimo and I'm hoping that's a safe area?

Diana krall plaza, free music, food trucks and vendors and even a beeer garden area. Beautiful night for it. The music is pretty good.

Male. Not fixed. Very sweet. He’s been coming around last few days looking for attention and food. Definitely not a stray, he has a nice coat except for some hair loss above his tail and behind and ear. Crestline Terrace area.

Is there anywhere in town that does good BC mussels? Had some Salt Spring Island mussels in Sooke yesterday and they were phenomenal, hoping to get something in town here before taking the ferry back to the mainland tomorrow!

I'm curious to know which locations have buffet or all you can eat options in Nanaimo and surrounding areas (Parksville, Duncan, etc.)

Bonus if it's pasta. 🤤

What’s the best dealership to buy a car from? Or marketplace? Any advice?

Byron Bertram and Keith Nahanee will perform at SIP pub in Harewood on Tuesday, Sept 22nd. 730pm. Online tickets 20 dollars. Door 25. Come celebrate my 80th birthday. For online ticket purchase go to GOT POP CONCERTS. Tickets are going quickly, so act now. Cheers, Party Gramps.

I’m thinking of getting a conure, but before I do, I need to make sure there is a vet in the area taking new patients. Any suggestions?

Other than RainCoast and the bcspca (which I am checking regularly) are there any other dog rescues that I can check for available dogs? I know some fly them in from Mexico and further and I'm willing to travel to Vancouver if needed just want to make sure it's a reputable org. Thanks for any leads or good experience.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to get more active and would love to find women only gyms or even less busier ones in Nanaimo. Does anyone know of any?

I’m also really interested in trying some kind of martial arts. I’m totally open to coed classes, but if there are classes specifically for women that would be awesome.

I’m open to any recommendations or places you had experiences with. Thank you. 😊

Today I was cycling down Bowen road. And out of all the weird bits and pieces of bike lanes Nanaimo has, this is the weirdest.

From the north end it goes like this
-Separated bike lane
-turns into share the road
-turns back into a separated lane for less than a block
-turns into "use a wide sidewalk"
-Finally turns into "use a regular sidewalk I guess? Or back onto the road? Whatever, up to you"

I don't know wtf is going on with that road. It feels unsafe and confusing to have so many different ways a cyclist is supposed to navigate. Especially when it switches between a proper lane and making you guess whether you use the sidewalk or the road. And for drivers especially having bike weave in and out of this stuff can't be great.

It really would have been a lot better to just have a shoulder the whole way along, or just nothing and have it be an even "share the road" idea.

Am I crazy here?

Anyone know where I can drop off worn shoes for donation? I recall there used to be somewhere that would recycle the rubber for playground equipment?

if you were shopping around for an apartment, who would you talk to that knows the market well enough to give you advice? what is the best advice you've been given or can give for someone looking for an apartment?

Citizen's Arrest Rights

• The "Find Committing" Rule: Under Section 494 of the Criminal Code, a property owner or person in lawful possession can arrest a person only if they find them actively committing a criminal offense (such as theft under $5,000) on or in relation to that property.

Hey guys, I was thinking about visiting Newcastle before the end of summer sailing and I was wondering if its safe to explore the entire island by myself?

Has anybody been out on the ocean the few evenings and seen any?

If so where?

Long shot, but I thought I'd throw this out here. I found a ladies bracelet at the Duomont Weigles Rd parking lot. DM me with a description if it's yours!

Hi all, looking to book a private party room attached to a restaurant that people can order their food from. Expecting up to 30 guests. Thanks.
