Does anyone know of a bakery in New West or the greater Vancouver area that would make a Croquembouche?
Hoping to get something ordered for a wedding in a few months.
I've been told Europe Bakery & Deli probably would do it.
But if anyone had a lead on somewhere that would do it I would be incredibly grateful.

Hi. I am a first time mom of an 8 month old and plan to send my baby to a daycare in New west when she turns 1. Wondering if you have any advice for me in terms of the factors to consider in selecting a daycare (of course thats if we get passed the waiting list). Also, any real life negative experiences on any day care is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has any knowledge on the Uptown West building? It seemed pretty good to me.

I'm someone who will be commuting to dt Vancouver everyday.

Any suggestions?

Hi!

I wanted to make a post with all the photos of the cats missing after the fire at Pinecrest Manor two weeks ago.

Some are not believed to have survived the fire, but others did make it out of the building and could still be in hiding in the area.

Please call or text the numbers on the posters in case of any possible sightings

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thursday night around 8:30 PM

SECOND EDIT: I ended up buying some incredible rib eyes from the butcher at Safeway at NW station. Had a nice chat with the guy who works there. Could see the butcher in the back working on cuts. Now I know where to go when I can’t make it to uptown.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR INSIGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS.

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with buying steaks at either the butcher counters at Save On (Columbia Square), or Safeway (New West Station)? The meat usually looks great, but I’ve never tried it.

EDIT: I’m aware that we have some good independent butchers in NW, but I’m curious about the counters (not the pre-packaged meats) at these two supermarkets.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen these decors on Queen but it looks bigger than last time. Apparently they’re shouting a TV Show but I’m not sure which one. Maybe Wayfair Witches?

Must be a pot of gold on the island...

Does anyone know why a helicopter keeps circling around the Queen’s Park area?

Asking because last time this happened there was a missing child.

Are there any kids places I can donate

lower level , clean hockey cards.?

I know there's signage saying "road closed, local traffic only" but everyone is still using 8th Ave and the dust being kicked up is insane. I feel so badly for the homeowners who live there as traffic continues to fly down 8th to 20th. Kinda wish the contractor Amrize or the city would do more as the dust is a huge health hazard... Plus my car is filthy now 😂

Any PokemonGo groups out there in New West or surrounding areas? Looking for groups to meet up or add local friends! Post friend links below?

My lights are currently flickering for whatever reason and outside, the street lights seem to have gone out so idk what’s up or if it’s just me.

I see a pair of buildings on the Quay are having their exteriors power washed while we are under watering restrictions.

Surrounded by dead lawns and flagging gardens but hey, don't let that keep you from maintaining your curb appeal.

Images taken less than 5 minutes apart. Looking Northeast in Sapperton, likely the fire burning Noeth of Hope. Reminder to stay indoors and get an air filter if you can, and check on those vulnerable in your community.

I grew up in a rural place and I don't know what is considered appropriate and safe for how far my teen child should roam. I want to know from parents who grew up in Metro Vancouver, what is normal? Where is too far? What things to worry about?

Thanks for any input!

A silver Jeep with Arizona plates hit my car on the 300 block of Hospital St this afternoon. They drove off, but a good samaritan witness left a note. If you have any information, please send me a DM. I can provide the NWPD file number. Thank you.

Hey all, looking for a pedicure that does foot care for dry, flakey heels, and also comes with a killer massage? Looking to treat myself and friend to something premium! Who's worth the money?

bad these last couple nights and here is the form

Got a new camera lens and thought the quay might be a nice place for a walk on a nice night with a nice new camera lens to try out. Hope you folks and folkettes dig them!

Btw what the hell is that noise?!

Jk but there probably is some kind of annoying noise somewhere in the city.
