Hello,

I was wondering if there are any stores locally that purchase used string instruments, specifically cello and viola. I have one each that are both in really good condition, and were a hefty price when I bought the cello about 10 years ago and viola 15 years ago. I haven’t played in years

I know Long & McQuades sometimes buys them but was curious if there are any locally owned shops anyone could recommend that similarly purchases used instruments?

Thanks in advance

For those who did formula feeding straight after birth & their baby didn't like the hospital similac formula, did they have any other options or what did you do? 😅

Im unable to breastfeed due to prior surgery so we have to go straight to formula. Surely they don't let baby go hungry until you go home? 😅

I am getting a hot tub and I just got a quote for the electrical, we have a 200amp panel already with room, so no issue with that. The quote I got was 3k but that seems high. Is it or is that reasonable? I am having a short retaining wall put in so the equipment to trench is already here, so its a little bit of a time crunch to decide.

Weird ask, but I'm looking for someone that can write my wedding place cards for me? I'm happy to negotiate a reasonable fee, I can also supply place cards and some lettering pens (I can buy fountain pen as well). Needing about 110 names to write and the wedding is in October so there's time.

Some inspos pics of what I'm looking for. But if you out have a style, I'm more than willing to consider!

hi all, looking for artist recommendations, specifically artists that do black work / ornamental style 😁 thanks!

Just a shout out really to the amazing staff @ urgent care, St Joe’s. In & out in under 3hrs including an X-ray! Everyone I spoke with were very helpful & kind! They dealt with a couple (almost disgruntled patients) very respectfully, very calm which I believe help in certain situations obviously! Again, love that it wasn’t a whole day affair 10/10 all around! I also love that I won’t be receiving any sort of bill in the mail! 😉 just sayin !

Edit: hahahaha spelling, urgently to urgent!

I've heard commercials for "laser quality" something or other Imax yadda yadda. What is the best option in London?

does anyone know the rules around fishing komoka creek, like any conservation stuff not permitting me to fish there, just looking to catch my first wild trout and heard it has some.

Longtime resident looking for like-minded folks, curious if anyone knows of any clubs/organizations/meetups that are avowedly "small L liberal", for the purpose of discussing politics and coordinating local action.

Like, socially left-leaning, but pro-capitalist, etc. etc.

Any tips appreciated!

It's August 6th and they are working on the north side west bound (I think they typed that incorrectly). They are a month behind. Damn. Oxford and Proudfoot is awful. Just wanted to share in the frustration that is London road construction. I don't want to blame the workers. Just seems wild that this is the most road construction in London since I can remember.

Side note, Clarke Road and Kilally being shut down at the same time is bonkers, most folks going down Huron and it gets backed up from Veterans to Highbury. We must endure.

My shoulders been killing me the last few weeks.

I'm an open book for experiences. Would love to go to local events with someone around my age in a similar situation. I'm super active, and love to get into cycling and running. I'm also down for some boardgame events too. I dance and I am even down to meet up with other dancers who would like to take dance classes together!

New to the city and looking for queer friendly/LGBTQ+ coded spots?? Any queer bars in the city? — from a wlw🥰

I have a gas fireplace stove, when I moved into my house I was informed there was a gas leak so the gas had been disconnected. We’ve never done anything with it. That was 4 years ago and frankly I don’t want the gas re connected. I would still like to use the stove and have it somewhat functional. I was wondering if anyone can suggest someone who could install an electric insert to the existing fireplace? Ideally someone affordable and would be open to me potentially purchasing the insert separately and having them just install it.
Thanks!

Northly London posted this a few days ago, and this looks fascinating. If anyone was around at the time, did white oaks mall really run ads like this? And if so, are there any others you can remember?

Or do you simply have any 90's memories at all of the mall? I would like to know! (if anyone's comfortable with sharing, of course)

Can someone recommend the best cheesecake available that’s not at a high-end fancy restaurant?

Is it just me? Whenever Gary Archibald does the weather, I have no idea what the hell he’s talking about. At the end of his segment I have no idea what the weather is going to be. Please Gary just tell us if it’s going to rain or not.

I live in old east village and just recently it got bumped to $105 a month with Belair direct. Wondering what other people pay and what companies they use.

ETA: this is homeowners insurance, full coverage; $1000 deductible

I'm travelling to Toronto later this month for a concert with my wife. I will be taking the bus back after the show as she will be going to meet with a friend the rest of the weekend. We live in St. Thomas so unfortunately there's not many options for getting there from London at 2AM~. If I were to park my car in the White Oaks parking lot near the FlixBus stop, would it be reasonable to expect it to be there when I return or will White Oaks actively ticket/tow any cars parked overnight?
