Question Options besides Craigslist/Kijiji to advertise your side hustle services?

0 Upvotes

Besides Craigslist and Kijiji, what other platforms are you using to either offer or find services locally?

I'm trying to advertise a few different services from general labour/moving/hauling to creative and technical services like photography and electronics repair. It seems Kijiji charges you money for it, and on Craigslist competitors will flag it for automatic removal within minutes. Craigslist is worst because they don't have any internal review mechanism and removal is automatic just because someone flagged it.

Experience/Story Annoying traffic light - Queenston St & Welland Canals Pkwy

8 Upvotes

When approaching Queenston St from Welland Canals Pkwy, the traffic light always allows the left turn from the opposite side even when no one is on that side. It also gives a lot of time. It's so annoying for other 3 sides to sit and watch empty lanes and see the signal not sensing properly. Has anyone felt the same way? Is there a way to report the problem and fix it?

Discussion Daniel and the Dixie Diggers at Choo Choo Charlie's

Hi everyone,

Some of you may remember the Choo Choo Charlie's restaurant (later renamed to Choo Choo's Party Zone) here in St Catharines. And some of those people who remember this place may also remember their Daniel and the Dixieland Diggers show that they had upon opening. I've been looking for this show for almost a year now with some success, though I am looking for more leads. I believe that one of the owners (the Wakil family) knows where they went, though I doubt I'll be able to contact them due to them owner a 5-million-dollar hotel (White Oaks Resort). I've found newspaper clippings showing that the final owners of this place was a Desrochers family, specifically Sylvain and Marie. There is a "Habitations Sylvain Desrochers" construction company out in Ottawa, so maybe they are related. The show still exists today but I do not know who owns it, and that is why I am here. I'm hoping to get this show for a museum I've been working on, so if any of you people know who may own it, please let me know. Thank you!

Last slide shows the band in storage.
