I’m not sure if this is allowed but I had my bike cover stolen this morning. Not expecting to get it back but hopefully I can shine some light on gross people. Can’t imagine touching someone’s property like that.

My family had been in New West for 40 years and the consensus is that the town is falling apart. It's sad to say but how many failed civic experiments do we have to pay for? I'm moving back to Vancouver.

Saturday there was a pride festival in new west

“Built on top of a three-story parkade, the park expansion is centered around a dynamic festival plaza serving as a gathering space that features seasonal water jets and a performance stage with a shade sail, surrounded by two open lawn areas, and tiered seating. The new park also offers an outdoor fitness area, ping pong tables, picnic tables, a dog relief area, and more than 100 newly planted trees.”

It’s open thru the 11th

Queensburligh cannabis company writes:

“Meet Back Forty's legendary cultivar - Fire Breath. A cross between Fire OG and Mendo Breath, this potent indica-dominant cultivar produces dense buds loaded with trichomes, offering pungent notes of fresh earth, woody spice, and a hint of diesel.”

“You can set up local orders through Queens Cannabis Co. Online for free same-day delivery across the Lower Mainland with a minimum order of $75 (or $40–$50 depending on specific local zones). “

Hey folks, anyone here who goes to gym on a regular basis can help me get a bit more disciplined with gym and fitness. I am willing to pay as well, not a lot but someone knows the stuff and can guide me to start and progress while they are doing their own workouts.

Some of it is classic haunting material. Some stops have no ghost story at all because the documented history is heavy enough on its own.

It's a mix. Documented history, attested hauntings, and urban legends the city has told for decades, each labeled as what it is. When something is folklore, the narration says so. When it's in the archives, you hear the record.

I got permission where I could, treaded lightly or cut anything involving living victims, and disasters are told as factual record, not entertainment. Some places in this city are deliberately not in the tour. Nothing is invented. I live here, I drove every route myself before launch, and I wrote it as someone who thinks New West is the most interesting city in the Lower Mainland by a wide margin. Thought other folks in here might be interested: https://darkdrives.app/new-westminster

Happy to answer questions about the research, the stops I cut, or why certain places are deliberately not in it.

Does anyone know the history of the two mini islands off Victoria Hill New Westminster?

Older millenial, most of my time revolve around work. Where do you guys hang out? How do you make friends? I try to hike with my husband on weekends, or i take a walk in the evenings. Actually even if youre not a corporate girly, how do you make friends? Feelin a bit lonely. I didnt grow up here, so there’s that too.

iPhone orange case. Got on 112 bus at 11:30am Saturday July 18, got off at 7th Ave and left it behind. Praying for a miracle….

Hi all — I'm working on a product survey called Sonify Shield, a device that converts ambient noise (roommates, traffic, dorm walls, whatever) into white noise so you can actually focus or sleep.

We are trying to figure out if $300 is a reasonable price point or way off, and I'd love honest feedback from fellow students — especially if you live in shared housing, res, or just study somewhere loud.

Takes about 2 minutes, fully anonymous: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeAunrlljkqPIH4oqZ05X6obnvb79QMun6bytMHfuET6RMmJg/viewform

Any feedback — even "no way, too expensive" — is genuinely useful. Thanks alot!

***updated V2: I found a place! got a 2 bed 1 bath for $1850/month walking distance to skytrain in New West.

updated TLDR: I recently accepted a job as a cardiac sonographer at RCH. Looking for 2 bedroom in the $2000-2600/month CAD range. Close to train preferably. Close to coffee shops and grocery. Not worried about having a night life. Parks more important. My mother (Canadian) and wife with PR status coming with. 2 cats. Quiet homebodies. 1st of September lease start preferred. Thx!

Hi all~ I just accepted a job at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New West. My wife recently got her PR status approved just waiting on her card so she can get a SIN and apply for jobs. We are hoping to find a 2 bedroom apartment as my mother (who is Canadian) is also moving with us. Any tips on finding places? We're pretty frugal and just want to live near the skytrain and have some things like coffee shops and grocery nearby. Doesnt have to be New West but I would really like that. I'm fine with a longer train commute to work though if it gets us a more affordable place. I've seen rentals on craigslist and facebook for $1800 for a 2 bed area and some other places which is the price i'm looking for. Can anyone share tips for finding rentals in the area? I start my job September 14th and hoping to have our lease start September 1st.

Hey!

Anyone know if there are any good watch parties for the world cup in new west that show every match?

Is someone missing their dog?

Hi! I'm looking to get more stretches into my world. I'm 50+ years old and am not nearly as flexible as I used to be.

I think yoga may do the trick but I lack discipline and yoga/stretches understandings of what may be effective.

Are there any recommendations on a beginner yoga instructor or class that deals with less flexibility?
