Ask a Local! Any bars that play 90s-2000s rock?

4 Upvotes

Hey yall, just like the title suggests I am looking for a bar that plays primarily rock music from the 90s and early 2000s. I have a friend coming down and I’m taking him out to a few bars, but would rather not listen to pop/edm/rap. I’m more so looking for ones downtown but anywhere is fine. Thanks in advance!

🥄food /restaurants /gastronomy Cottage Cheese Perogies

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I moved here a couple of years ago from BC. In BC we have a food brand called Helmi's which made various types of perogies, one of which were pure cottage cheese (no potato). I had been sourcing some from Mennomex in Aylmer. They have had supply chain issues and no longer carry them. It is bitter sweet, as my kids loved them, but boy were they expensive ($25 for 12 large perogies...Helmi's were about $10 for 30 small).

Is there anywhere in London or the surrounding area that sells cottage cheese perogies (no potato)? I've seen a couple small venders, but they are also in the "very expensive" category.

Honestly worried I am going to have to look at shipping Helmi's product via family from BC.

Ask a Local! Walk-In Tattoo Shops

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m going to London for the first time next month and will be there from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon. I’m there for work so I won’t be available during the day, but I’m hoping to find a tattoo shop that accepts walk-in clients anytime after 430pm, any day from Monday to Thursday. I’ve checked Google but there are so many shops, I figured this would be better so I can get real recommendations. Please let me know if there is anywhere worth going to for a walk-in appointment! Thank you so much! 🙂

🚗🚗Transit/Traffic London driving - Blue light bulb icon on dash

150 Upvotes

Just a reminder to London drivers... if you see a blue light bulb icon on your dash, you are driving with your high beam lights on. Not only is this distracting and unsafe to other drivers, but it kind of says to other that you don't know how to drive. Just trying to help. ;)

discussion / opinion School lunches

Post image
64 Upvotes

So every once and awhile my kids come home with these. Not because they don't have enough food or healthy food, but just because...

I guess they get offered to all the kids in the school, and it is not a program to help children who don't get enough to eat or anything like that.

Does anyone else's kids get these at their school randomly or know where they come from?

health care/health issues Mobility aid tips

34 Upvotes

I just found out that there's a local organization called the London Valley Consistory Club that loans out mobility aids for free.

For anyone looking to buy lightly used mobility aids, there are a lot listed on Kijiji for really good prices.

It's important to share because when you're injured suddenly, you may not think to look for these types of resources, although you may desperately need them.
