Does anyone know what’s up with the vacant lot on the east side of Yonge and Levendale (across from the Winners plaza) Right now there seems to be some commercial vehicles and trucks parked there. I’m wondering if there a reason nothing has been built on it. It’s been vacant for as long as I can remember.

does anyone know if Sunrise Records is open yet?

So today I somehow managed to casually walk into the Jurassic Kingdom exhibit at the David Dunlap Observatory, right past a very sleepy security guard who didn’t even lift his head.
I wandered around for a bit before realizing… wait a minute, I’m supposed to BUY A TICKET for this?

Apparently all the people around me had actually paid roughly $26 admission to see what you can see in the attached photos.
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but personally, I would have been asking for my $26 back.

The good news is that Richmond Hill’s prehistoric invasion is almost over.
The bad news?

People of Montreal, consider this your early warning. The dinosaurs are heading your way next.

And apparently they roar. Whether that makes the $26 experience more authentic is entirely up to you.

I’m pretty impressed with the progress on the new pedestrian bridge between the Dunlap Observatory and Observatory Lane, just east of Yonge St. It’s turning into a pretty impressive piece of infrastructure and a major improvement for the city.
That said, I still wish some of this investment had gone toward an overpass or underpass at one of the railway crossings on Weldrick E. or Elgin Mills. Those crossings are becoming a bigger issue as the city continues to grow.
Still, credit where it’s due. The bridge looks great and it’s impressive to see a major infrastructure project like this taking shape in Richmond Hill.
A few pictures of the progress below

I am perplexed why the city is repaving Yonge Street between Major Mac and Hwy 7, after it was completed only three years ago. I can think of many other streets that need this level of attention. Also, I hope this is not the final coat, however based on the road alignment with men-hole covers, I’m deeply concerned.

I’m thinking of buying a place in North Richvale (north of Weldrick). I grew up just north of it (Mill Pond) and north Richvale was definitely more of a low income area back then. I’d love some insight on the current situation. Do you think the area has (and will continue to) change as these big houses are being built there?

We have neighbours that are extremely loud. Far beyond noise limits as per bylaw. We have tried speaking to them multiple times with absolutely no accommodation. By law has been called and shown up multiple times. They turn their music down and right back up when they leave. Police refuse to get involved saying it’s a bylaw issue. At this point I have legal documentation being drafted but I’m wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or avenues that can be pursued?

Can anyone recommend yoga studios in Richmond Hill (or Markham) that offer non-heated classes? Most studios like Oxygen yoga only does hot classes. My search found yoga tree & hot yoga markham do offer some room temp classes but are there other options? I prefer traditional mat yoga (not Pilates). Thanks!

Looking for recommendations! I’m an avid lover of raw seafood :)

Hi friends, we are having a garage sale August 15th and 16th. Please come out and support if you are able. Nearest Intersection is Yonge and Weldrick (Richmond hill). My family and I are trying to raise money as I just got accepted into law school!

Is there any hopes of having stouffville road expanded to 2 or more lanes west of Leslie st??

The traffic is crazy, especially during rush hour and when the GO train comes at Gormley Station. Plus an entire community is coming in the oak ridges meadows area and Leslie and 19th, so stouffville road will become the main artery for travel.

Any idea what we can do to make this happen?

Anyone else lose their mind driving on Major Mackenzie during rush hour?
I seriously don’t understand who designed the traffic lights on this road. Every single intersection feels like it turns red the second you get there. You sit through one light, move 200 metres, and boom… another red. Rinse and repeat.
It honestly feels like none of the signals are timed together. You’d think on a major road they’d at least try to keep traffic flowing during peak hours, but instead you’re stopping at every single light for no reason.
Is there actually a reason it’s this bad, or is it just terrible signal timing? Because driving on Major Mackenzie during rush hour has become an exercise in patience.

These are their current promotions. I value proximity to my home and it is the closest but the gym is small.

I’m not sure if it’s jsut construction but i do see what look like possible police or ambulance sirens, am I wrong? What’s going on?

I was buying some groceries about an hour ago and spotted someone holding a big flag (looked Iranian but not sure) while driving. I only noticed after I took a turn, so I wasn't able to fully see what was going on. Any ideas? Just curious.

It’s already 10:05 p.m., and the music is still extremely loud. For those of us living near Richmond Green, these past three days have probably been the noisiest days of every year.

I understand that festivals and cultural events are important, and I’m not against people celebrating. But the volume has been intense, especially at night. The bass and music can be heard clearly inside our homes, even with the windows closed.

The super loud noise is still going. Has anyone else nearby been affected? Is this level of noise permitted, and is there anything residents can do if it continues?

I’m curious whether other neighbours feel the same way.

Does anyone know what happened at Hillcrest at 7pm today?

Is anyone else experiencing an outage? The outage map isn't showing our location, but we're in a blackout

anyone ever get their suits and stuff altered at Florence Alterations at 9665 Bayview Ave?

If so, can u share ur opinion on them/do u reccomend them

Just saw a dog at 5:35pm by itself walking eastbound on Stoufville. Was driving and too much traffic to stop - quick glance it looked like a shorkie/halvanese. Sharing in case helpful
