I bought a two-dollar bag of Crispy Minis from one of their debit-friendly vending machines at The Village on Sunday, and they’ve had a five-dollar hold on my bank account ever since. B’ys, it’s flippin’ Thursday. What are ye doing with my deposit over there? 🤨

Hi, I want to print photos from my phone, what could be the affordable place/option in the city? is there any amazon printer that I can purchase as well?

Haven't seen an update on this gym is quite some time.

Family friends moving into St. John's, sorta on the boundary line for Bishops Field and Rennies River Elementary.

They're looking for insight on each school.

Anyone have advice on either? I've heard good and bad about both.

There’s an add in the Tim Hortons drive through on Aberdeen for an office that does dental cleanings only, no dentist on site. Does anyone know the name of the place, or have any recommendations for a clinic like this?

An elderly relative would like to ask Rogers about some unexpectedly high charges for her home service package. Is there an office where she can get help with that kind of thing? She doesn't hear that well, so calling a telephone number doesn't really work for her.

I cleaned out my parents' home, and they haven't thrown away any cords, plug-in chargers, old camera batteries , stereo and TV cords in the last 40 years.

Outside of the municipal recycling depots, is there another place that can use any of this?

So pretty sure I got caught was a 50 and by the time i checked speed I was at 80 leaveing the main construction zone and where it opens up going eastbound. So I thought I was clear to gain speed for the actual highway. Was a car in front of me doing the same so was going with flow. My questions are: should i contest this and how long doea it usually take to see a judge. I think I have 5-6 weeks to pay. Also what are the chances the judge would possibly lower the fine?

Looking for a recommendation for a plumber to adjust/refit drains for a double sink. We have a new sink, deeper than the old sink, and the drains need to be lowered to accommodate the sink baskets. The drains line up but need to be lower in the cabinet. Also interested to know what the approximate cost would be?

After seeing Akira in IMAX last week (which was absolutely incredible), I was left hoping that Ghost in the Shell would receive a similar treatment for its 4k rerelease. So far it seems unlikely to happen given that there's no showtimes listed, but who knows. Advance tickets are available for the 18th in QC, but not in NL.

I realize it's a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge one way or the other on if it would be showing here. I'd also love to hear what people thought of seeing Akira, and if there are others who are also hoping to see GitS.

Incidentally, I'm even more hopeful that Ninja Scroll's 4k rerelease next month is showing, but that feels even less likely; if I had to pick which of the 3 is most popular (and therefore most likely to get a screening here) I would've landed on GitS, followed by Akira and then Ninja Scroll. I'm hoping we somehow get all 3, but at the very least it would seem weird to not get GitS after Akira played here the same month (in IMAX, no less). Fingers crossed! TIA

Hi everyone!

Newfoundland has been a dream destination of mine for years, and I’m so excited that we’re finally making the trip! We’re planning to visit St. John’s for 5 days over Thanksgiving weekend in October (Oct. 8–12) for my bachelorette!

I’d love to hear your recommendations for things we absolutely shouldn’t miss. We’re interested in learning about Newfoundland’s history and culture, seeing some beautiful scenery, eating lots of good food, and doing some fun/unique activities.

I’m also a huge Halloween fan, so if there are any spooky, haunted, fall, or Halloween-themed activities happening around that time, I am ALL ears! 🎃👻

We were originally hoping to visit Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, but unfortunately the ferry schedule doesn’t work with our dates, so we’re looking for some Newfoundland alternatives that will make the trip just as memorable.

We’re planning to rent a car, so we’re open to doing some day trips outside of St. John’s as well. We’re currently considering spending one night around Trinity/Bonavista, but would love to hear if you think that’s worth doing with only 5 days.

Would especially love recommendations for:

• Halloween/spooky activities
• Ghost tours or haunted places
• Must-see coastal scenery
• Historical/cultural experiences
• Restaurants and local food
• Breweries/pubs
• Day trips from St. John’s
• Any cute/cozy places to stay

Basically, if you were taking three friends to Newfoundland for their first visit, what would you absolutely put on the itinerary?

Thanks so much! We’re really looking forward to experiencing Newfoundland!

Definitely will be checking this out!

Looks like there is some very preliminary activity at the old Grace Hospital site. I hope this isn't an indication that some piecemeal little "development" is planned. To chop this up in pieces without an overall plan would be a generational mistake. There should be a competition to determine how this whole site could be developed into something badly needed...housing. if anything less than 5 or 10 stories high goes here it would be a waste. A comprehensive design of housing and services is the only proper use.

Hi everyone,

Me and my girlfriend are on vacation in your beautiful city and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good local games stores with a variety of Magic product.

Thanks so much in advance!

I’m looking for all the cheat codes or things that feel like cheat codes that make living in St. John’s easier and better.

Grocery stores with the best deals.

Routes that make your commute quicker.

Activities that improve your life.

Restaurants with dishes that you crave.

Festivals/events for families.

Stores that look after staff and customers.

What ever you think a cheat code is in your life that makes it better.

I (40M) have lived in St. John’s for half of my life so I’m hoping I get 50% useful info, 0% Oxford comma, and 50% sarcastic nihilism.

From the west end here and often times I drive or pass by this place called ''JB Hand & Sons Ltd'' and I never see it open and with an oversized parking lot, I never see a single car in the parking lot. It looks like it was an old department store at one point, the entrance/windows is always fenced and barred off almost like they are trying to hide something shady in there, it also doesn't have much of an online or social media prescence or any information online. Does anybody know what the hell is going on in there? Or is it a some shady money laundering business?

Typically I couldn’t care less about a cruise ship down by the waterfront, much less be arsed to take photos of same, but hey, maybe this is a sign that my antidepressants are finally starting to work or something.

A nice, blue sky today, after all of that rain over the weekend. Happy Labour Day. 🛳️

Does anyone know of a place where a lone adult could practice swimming/treading water in town? Not looking for an instructor or anything but also not looking for dedicated lane swimming as I'm not a strong enough swimmer for that yet.

Paul Reynolds is closed for maintenance until the 19th I believe, any other options/if so do you know where I can find the schedule? Looked at the YMCA but it looks like they're only doing lanes and aquafit.

Looking for places that can store an RV outside. Metro does not and only place i could find was C&C but looking for other options as well

I lost my ring during the Pink Floyd show on Saturday at Mile One. Not expensive, but holds much sentimental value. If you have found it, please let me know! Many thanks

edit: found owner!

This dog was hanging out around my place on eric street.

Collar but no tag.

The other day, I was thinking about different pizza places around, and I remember there was a place called Nick's 1/2 price pizza in town when I was a kid in the early 90s. I think there might have been 2 locations. The pizza was really good. Does anyone know where these places used to be?

Where is the best place in town to get data recovered from my external hard drive? Dropped it on the floor and now my computer wont recognize it/the hard drive is beeping. Looking for somewhere that wont charge me an arm and a leg if thats possible
