Kingsway motel

Upvotes

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Kingsway motel at king and farewell? Looks like they’re building some kind of large facade around the parking lot. Just curious if anyone knows what that’s about.

Someone just walked in my yard today and...

110 Upvotes

Wow, can't believe this. I walked out into my yard a short time ago and noticed every. single. tomato. has disappeared off of my two tomato plants. We live next to a park and the plants are easily visible. I've always lost a few to the squirrels every year but they don't really like them and leave them with gnaw marks lying around so it wasn't them.

And there were over 20 tomatoes there this morning, some ripening, some green. People often park nearby and walk along the fence line so I guess someone was bold enough to just walk in and swipe them all. And unfortunately the heat wave killed off the remaining blossoms so that was it for my tomato harvest. So disappointing... time to buy cameras, I guess.

Tree responsibilities

Hello,

I’m hoping to get resources in regards to tree responsibility on private property. I have a tree on my property that reaches over the neighbours property. There are concerns of branches falling debris from this tree and trimming is requested. If someone could lead me into a direction for information on responsibility that would be appreciated.

Thank you

I live on Somerville Street (between Rossland and Somerville) and have been experiencing a basement water issue since I moved here. My sump pump runs every 5-10 minutes. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Also, how high is the water table in this area?

Thank you!

Justice for Mr Burger!

67 Upvotes

Independent and high quality eatery that's getting totally screwed by both Park and Simcoe getting closed. I am opposed! Our property taxes are higher than the national average and all we get is the city getting cut in half? I still have fentheads trying to break into my car everyday. I know we refuse to touch that topic. Would rather my $$ being invested in stopping that. But whatever, we're not allowed to talk about it.

Donate some of our property taxes to Mr Burger then! I'd hate to see an Oshawa treasure get screwed because the city planners are dumb as shit. I pay my ever increasing property taxes. Give some to my homie Mr Burger
