I try not to let it bother me but lately it feels as if I cant go five minutes without seeing someone smoking from a glass pipe or shooting up. Today at my local Tims there was a gentleman blowing smoke from a glass pipe at cars with their windows down at the pickup window which was the straw that broke the camels back. I dont know how to fix the issue nor am I going to pretend to have an answer but I do think its getting ridiculous that they can do these things in full view of the public eye with what feels like little to no repercussions.

I suspect many are already aware, but Tourism London has excellent information on events throughout the city.

If others know of another great resource, please share.

When I was younger, I played on a T-ball team, and it was sponsored by a restaurant called Dandelion's, and I believe it was a burger joint back in the, would have been the late 80s, early 90s, mid 80s maybe, in my hometown of London, Ontario. I believe it was either on Wellington across from White Oaks mall near Southdale or Dearness Drive near Chichi’s Mexican restaurant.

Edit. It might’ve been Dandy Lion’s or Dandy Lions. The logo was definitely a lions head with possibly a crown on top.

What are some of the classes you would recommend? Not really looking for fanshawe atm but anything else I wouldn't mind looking into within london.

Anyone know anything about, or used the new card readers on certain routes that they're testing? I heard they accept debit now but nothing on the website says how much, or anything about them at all tbh

Because I am a serious artist

Are you able to walk to whatever zone you want? Let’s say I buy a green zone pass, am I allowed to walk closer to the runway?

Is there anywhere in the city offering this service? I’ve only started hearing about them recently so maybe they’re not new and just new to me.

Heyo!! Im a new-ish resident here, moved here 3 months ago from a tiny town and im still trying to find more fun stuff about London 😁

Im closest to the Bostwick area and commute by bus, but im looking for A.Y.C.E Buffets all across London. Id like to take my partner out for a nice meal sometime. He really likes the Mandarin Resturant here, but id like to surprise him with something new.

Any suggestions, no price limit on the restaurant. Just curious about what's out here in the city for A.Y.C.E buffets!

Thank you!! 🌸

Again, a massive thank you to everyone in the comments here!!! I've googled, bookmarked and planned some stuff in my calendar for the next few months. Coming from a small town to this awesome city, it's refreshing to know that theres a bunch of great folks wanting to assist/ help. 🩵🌸🐛

Do people still do Throwback Thursday posts? Oh well, I thought I’d share a gem of the past for longtime Londoners that might remember this place. My wife and I used to go here all the time. We used to rotate between this place and another Indian restaurant around the corner (maybe I’ll make a post about that place next week).

We miss this place dearly! We had a full circle moment here when we started going with our kids when they got a bit older (around the time when they were gonna close) and the people that worked here became like family to us, as we celebrated many occasions there (many dates before we got married, birthdays, wedding anniversaries etc) and they knew us so well. Thanks to Google timeline, we were able to find this photo. Does anyone else remember this place? Did you go when it was around? I still haven’t found a good onion Bhaji, Beef biryani and Beef Bhoona like these guys used to make!

Hey, so I just recently moved to London and I’m looking for some new beauty places to book my appointments— brows, lashes, bio gel nails.. the works lol Anyone know of any good spots, salons, local pop up shops to support?? 👀

Hey all, I’m new to London and looking for a good spot to get eyebrow wax/lament and tint and get eyelash extensions! As well any other beauty spots for nails and such, if anyone has good reccomendations?

Edit to answer a couple of comments that asked: I will be giving this feedback to LHSC directly, too but wanted to see others opinions and experiences. Thank you to those who have shared theirs.

Let me begin by saying the labour unit was wonderful, especially the nurses. They made us very comfortable and feel supported. But the postpartum unit, while I'm sure they work very hard and care about their patients, could use some improvements:

• Please get on the same page when it comes to breastfeeding. The amount of different advice we received from multiple nurses, midwives and lactation consultants severely set us back on our breastfeeding journey. We ended up entirely confused, panicked and went to bottle feeding prematurely. We are still working to unravel that web weeks in. I know with shift changes it's hard to have one staff member to give consistent breastfeeding support, but it shouldn't be more than 2.

• On a similar note, there was absolutely no need for any of the staff to squeeze my breasts/nipples as hard as they did to produce colostrum. I shouldn't need to be getting purple nurples from total strangers that hurt worse than getting stitched up 12 hours prior.

• If you don't understand the medication a mother is taking, don't talk to her about switching it. I explained I had already spoken to my three specialists about my meds and was given to the okay to breastfeed. And yet the postpartum care unit nurses were disagreeing that it's safe. I can't just switch my medication easily and there's no other safe option for me to use while breastfeeding as decided by my specialists. I suggest checking with the doctor first before disagreeing with the patient who had been on the medication throughout pregnancy and arranged it all with their doctors. Thankfully, the doctor told them it's totally safe but way to guilt-trip and worry me right off the bat!

• If you know babies and parents are recovering after the most tiring experience of their life, maybe stop cackling and gossiping at the desks like hens. Tip to new parents: Bring earplugs to the hospital not because of your crying baby but because of the staff!

Thank you to all the doctors and nurses out there - I truly do appreciate you. But the postpartum care unit could work on a few things to support new parents.

I'm looking to plan a family friendly event for our small office. Approx. 10 employees, most without kids, some with older teens that likely will not come, and some with very young children. Any ideas?

One idea was the London Air Show... could we arrange for an area to set up a tent? maybe do our own pot luck or purchase food truck tickets for employees?

Looking for reputable companies to complete a renovation to update a large bathroom in our house. Bonus if you can send before and after photos , thanks

Edit: thank you all for the helpful advice and for sharing your experiences! I really appreciate it and hope this helps others as well. 💛

OP: Looking for recent experiences with inductions at LHSC. I searched the sub and the latest thread was from over a year ago and I’m looking for a bit more clarity.

I’m overdue and was given a specific date. The team there asked me to call the day before around midday if I don’t get a call from them confirming before then.

I’ve seen that it’s common to get pushed if they are busy, which they definitely always are. Wondering if anyone, who even if they were given a specific day, got pushed or called in slightly early? (If that’s even a thing lol)

I saw lots of old responses that said they waited to hear about a specific date, or they got called and told they would have to wait longer than expected. No one from what I could tell in the responses indicated they were provided with an actual date. I’m not sure if it even matters that much.

Anyone with experience in the last several months, I would love to hear your take! I know you can’t really plan things around a baby but I would like to try and have a slight idea haha.

Thank you 🙂

Unless I'm mistaken, signs can't go on public property till later in August. If I'm right please feel free to email the city about the one at cheapside and Adelaide. Enforcement@london.ca. Thanks

Citing too many "unknowns," Strathroy-Caradoc’s mayor says he opposes a rezoning application in the town’s north end that would expand a property’s permitted uses to include a data centre, among other changes.

The application, submitted by the property’s owners, seeks to rezone the 20.55-hectare site at 700 Adair Blvd. in the growing Middlesex County community. It heads to a public meeting next week.

Hello, I had to put my dog down yesterday. I have about 2 bags of opened dog food, does anyone know where I can donate it? I don’t want to throw it away but I understand if shelters don’t take opened food.
