Looks like Saturday May 9th.

Sugar Beach on Saturday Jan 31:

One of the worst I've seen at that gas station was a homeless woman dropping her pants and peeing near one of the pumps. I felt bad because it didn't seem like she was all mentally there, and she obviously couldn't hold it any longer. But that was almost a decade ago now, not sure about now as...

On Saturday (Jan 31), from much further away - at least, I think that's the same boat! :)

(Bold mine) Isn't watering down the service going to create negative PR by default? I mean, I'd rather they launch with full confidence versus launching with their eyes covered and fingers crossed. How has it gotten so bad?

Fair, but now you are making a lot of noise for everyone else. I'm in the office right now, and near me (close enough for me to hear): 3 people in separate video calls Two people talking at their desk (one of the voices carries quite a bit) Chatter in the kitchen nook It's not always like...

I absolutely hate the open office plans. I used to hate cubicles but man, give me cubicles over this super loud and distracting open office. Granted, the open office plan happened pre-Covid, but it was terrible then too, but now, add in the fact there's no assigned seating and it becomes even...

Eating out has become way too expensive. I understand food prices, rent, etc. has gone up, but for us, the value of dining out vs the costs has been fairly lopsided for some time now; now we rarely go out dining at all. Even Winterlicious/Summerlicious seems $$ to me.

Wow! Only 2 parking spaces! The bigger units are decent sizes though.

Unless you do a lot of work (or gaming I guess) at home, I'd be tempted to give up the optional den just to have more space. TV goes on the bathroom wall, maybe giving you room for a small kitchen island. Or a console table behind the sofa where you could possibly do your general computing...

I live in the area, and I love that Redpath is there. Sure, I do wish they did something about their fence, and maybe paint a few more murals, but I still really want them to stay. Historical, uniqueness, jobs, etc.

3 bedroom units at 850 - 1,000 sq ft seems too small. The 2 bedroom units also feels iffy to me as well.

I was fine with it until I scrolled down far enough to see the massive CIBC branding. :(

Yes I totally agree, the actual building is crap, but as I said the location is great. Moving it nearby (like the temporary tent) makes sense; but moving it so far away from the neighbourhood is a bit of a disservice to the area. But you do bring up a could-have-been-a-great-idea with the...

It's actually quite busy IMHO. The problem is that it's not very visible and welcoming as you say; they put the children area on the street front, which also means no front door there. It's definitely old - and there's a prevailing smell that never goes away - but I think the geographic...
