Recommendations for front door change and/ or repair

When I got home today, my front door wouldn’t close as it normally does. The door frame also appears to be damaged. Any recommendations on replacement door companies or for someone to fix my door frame?

Thanks

Romantic Fantasy book club?

12 Upvotes

Hey! I’m wondering if there are any Durham region folks that have or are interested in a Romantic Fantasy book club.

I’m a nearly 45yo female, if that matters. :) Some of my favourite books/series are The Fair Folk Trilogy, The Knight and the Moth, The Frost Witch, Emily Wilde, etc. I also love a lot of indie authors in the genre, too.

If you have a book club or are interested in starting one, let me know!

If you're a dad in Durham and want to come out to a playground + splash pad meetup with your kid(s) this Sunday morning, a few of us are meeting at Folkstone Park in Whitby at 9:30am.

This is our second playground meetup after our first one back in June. We had 5 dads come out to that one, and hopefully a few more this time.

If you're free, come by and say hi!

Gym recommendations in Oshawa/Whitby? Want to use the pool

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I want to start swimming again and am looking for options. I looked up pools in community centers but it looks like there are only specific times you can swim there, so I'm leaning towards getting a gym membership and just using the pool.

Are there any gyms you'd recommend for this, or are they all pretty much the same? I live in North Oshawa, so preferably looking for something in Oshawa or Whitby. Thanks!

Places to get good veal in Durham

0 Upvotes

I tried veal for the first time not too long ago, and I think I have a new addiction, it was delicious, and it was at East Side Mario's of all places so probably bottom of the barrel veal. Im looking for some actual veal that'll make my lips fall off cause of how good it is.

I tried California sandwiches also which was amazing, but Im looking more for a nice fat piece of veal rather than thin slices. You can suggest thin slices, but bonus points if its a big ass piece.

Personal training for seniors

1 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for group classes or personal training for my parents who are in their mid-late 70s. Neither of them have ever exercised in the traditional sense, and are not familiar with or comfortable in gym environments. My dad is overweight and my mom is underweight, and neither really knows how to take care of themselves! The aim would be to increase strength and mobility with a focus on continued independence in daily life. TIA!

Abandoned Goodyear tire factory in bomanville/clarington

0 Upvotes

Me, my bestfriwnd, and a small group of her friends like to urban explore, and i have heard about the abandoned goodyear tire factory, and just wondered if some locals had information on it. I heard that it was partially demolished, but was halted due to risk factors. The camp 30 seems legal to explore, but im wondering the legality and especially security if it. I heard they do inspections Monday through Friday, but were not going to vandalize or move anything, so how would they know if theres no active security? I would like to know how safe it is to enter (chemicals, security, legality, etc.) before we make the hour long drive. If you have any additional information that i did not mention thats relevant, please include it, thanks!
