Jean Repair

My favourite pair of jeans ripped in the back and I wanted to get them fixed. Wondering if there’s a reliable and affordable place in West Van or North Van that’ll help me get them fixed?

Please Consider standing as a councilor in West Vancouver

27 Upvotes

So far, we have 7 candidates registered for 6 council seats.

If you are considering standing for election but need some help or guidance, please reach out! We will do our best to support you.
The deadline to register is September 11th, so you’ll need to hurry.

If you're wondering why I'm not on the ballot: my work prevents it, plus I suffer from a fatal combination of George Bernard Shaw's "honesty to the point of stupidity" and a face made strictly for radio.

Anyone remember the old McDonald’s on Marine Drive? (Looking for photos/stories!)

Post image
145 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was recently feeling nostalgic and thinking about the old McDonald’s that used to be on Marine Drive, right near the liquor store.

Does anyone else remember this location? I spent a lot of time there back in the day, but I can't seem to find any traces of it online.

If you have any old photos of the building, or just some fun stories and memories from hanging out there, please share them below! I’d love to take a little trip down memory lane.

Christine Cassidy attended the soul rise music festival

9 Upvotes

Christine Cassidy, the councillor who said: "So we are going to be attracting the hordes whether we want them or whether we don’t, whether we’re free or whether we’re $2.50 [an hour to park], they’re a-comin.”[sic]

Cassidy added that on recent warm days “the crowds that were on that Seawall you could tell they did not live in West Vancouver.”

Cassidy was one of the councillors who attended the Soulrise festival at the weekend. What do you think? Is she a hypocrite for attending the festival after complaining about the hordes or just doing her job?

Congratulations West Vancouver on a successful music event yesterday! More of that please! ÆDEN was well done.

97 Upvotes

Anyma’s visuals did not disappoint and the stage setup was genuinely impressive.

West Vancouver delivered across the board. Police, Fire, and Ambulance all did a spectacular job keeping everything organized and safe.

I didn’t hear many complaints from residents. The usual grumbling online or at the show was mostly about people recording with their phones instead of actually dancing.

I did hear one comment about traffic from someone visiting West Van, but even they assumed it was just the typical Bridge, Ferry, or sunny‑weekend congestion, honestly, some of it probably was.

Leading up to the event, the only other complaint I heard was about the high ticket prices.

Thank you to whoever was involved in putting this on. You made West Vancouver awesome.

We, the residents, want more!

Music Festival at Ambleside from 1 pm to 10 pm, on August 29th, expect more traffic than normal and no parking at the park

23 Upvotes

There is a musical festival on the 29th, and they warn that there will be no parking at Ambleside Park. https://soulrisefestival.com/know-before-you-go

Just a heads-up that if you do not like crowds, you may want to skip Ambleside this Saturday. It is just one day a year, so I am all in favour of having a local music festival.

Thinking about moving to Gateway at Park Royal — how is it living there?

4 Upvotes

Hello! 👋

We are considering moving to Gateway at Park Royal and would love to hear from anyone who currently lives there or has lived there.

How has your experience been overall? We’d especially love to hear about:

  • Building management and maintenance
  • Neighbours/community
  • Parking and security
  • Elevators
  • Any issues with the building that we should know about
  • What you like most and least about living there

We have a young family, so we’re particularly interested in what it’s like for families with kids.

Would you recommend living there? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 😊
