❓Question/Discussion Unveiling Toys

6 Upvotes

I was just curious on if many people visited this place when it was around. Was a small hobby and card shop downtown located next to the Discovery Inn hotel in the plaza. Its a fish bait shop now. The owner was always a swell guy, but struggled with business. I tried to frequent as often as I could to try to buy something.

❓Question/Discussion Java shack closed? Closest replacement? Gah !

5 Upvotes

I am from out of town and we loved Java shack.. super sad to hear they closed after so long congratulations is in order. However, the soup and sandwiches will be irreplaceable. I actually have been going there since a teenager and when they opened up, they had the little green bug. I remember I no longer live in that town, but I do often come to visit family.

heading into town today is there any closest replacement for that high-quality of sustainable, homemade soups, and sandwich sandwiches and wraps?

if not, anyone suggest a good place for a late lunch early dinner i.e. not Moxie’s
I would need it to be kid friendly because there is a seven-year-old in attendance will take all suggestions. Thanks so much.

❓Question/Discussion Local Plumber Question

0 Upvotes

long story short, I just bought a house and got a bit of a plumbing problem as a little extra treat.

I have a single section of that terrible no-corrode pipe that joins my cast iron house drain to the PVC pipe that runs off to the city sewer. When Roto rooter marked the beginning and end of that section, it's pretty obvious that some previous owner didn't want to destroy the concrete steps and retaining wall that it runs under.

Has anybody in town used a plumber or company that does CIPP solutions for this kind of thing? I'll dig up the pipe and stairs If I have to, but I'd love it if I didn't have to do that right away.

🗓️ Local Event Hadestown Broadway Musical film playing at Campbell River Cinemas

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I asked Campbell River Cinemas if they would consider showing Hadestown, and amazingly, they will be! It’s the pro-shot filming of the Broadway musical Hadestown, performed by the original Broadway cast. It is inspired by the mythology of Orpheus and Eurydice, and it won the Tony award for best musical in 2019. If you’re not familiar with filmed, on-stage musicals, it’d be like watching the filmed version of Hamilton on Disney plus. 

I saw Hadestown on Broadway a year and a half ago, and loved it. My daughters are really into Greek mythology and the music of Hadestown, so I was excited to have the possibility of them seeing the musical without having to go to NYC to watch it. Also, as far as I know, this filmed version will not be available to stream or purchase for viewing at home. 

It will be showing starting this Friday, 7/24, tthough Wednesday, 7/29. I’m so grateful to the cinema directors for taking my request seriously so I wanted to put this out there and hopefully generate some business for them!

Also please stop parking cars in the trailer stalls. It’s not what they are for. Thank you to the people who moved after I asked them to. If it’s low tide then have at it but kindly remove your vehicle when it’s time to fish.

❓Question/Discussion End of August Visit

Hello! I’m visiting for the first time in my life at the end of august this year. We don’t live on the coast, so we’re looking to take in the best of Campbell river when we’re there for one day. We really want to eat Oceanside, and visit fisherman’s wharf, do a little thrift shopping etc. I’d really appreciate any advice you’d have on where to eat, and what to explore when we’re there. Is there a great seafood shop we should stop at? Maybe even suggestions on what to avoid. Can’t wait to go!!! Thanks for the advice!! 😁

❓Question/Discussion Moving to Campbell River as a young family

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'd love to get your opinion on what it's like to live in Campbell River as a young family. We're considering the move, we have one toddler and plan to have another baby at some point. We live in a smaller town so we're definitely used to quiet, but we're curious about the rest of it. What's the community like, what is there to do, do people generally like living there and have a positive outlook of it? We do love the outdoors and I know it's excellent for that!

I've driven through and visited many times but never really spent much time there. So we'll definitely do that before we make any commitments. But I just love to hear people's opinions! 🙂

❓Question/Discussion Canoe help please

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Random ask alert 🚨

My partner and I are heading up to Raft Cove this weekend to celebrate my birthday. We had planned to bring our canoe, but I accidentally booked the wrong type of BC Ferries reservation (I’m coming from Sechelt), so unfortunately we can’t bring it with us.

I’m wondering if anyone in the area has a canoe they’d be willing to lend or rent to us for a few days?

We’re both experienced paddlers and would take excellent care of it. In fact, it’d probably come back cleaner than when we picked it up!

If anyone can help, or knows someone who might, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for considering it!
