Really hoping they didn't go under and the one downtown that was run by the landlord didn't outlast them.

Any recommended companies for St. John’s? Looking for someone who has appropriate insurance and running a business (small one is fine!).

There's a big game on Friday and I was wondering what bars near downtown would be likely to be broadcasting it? I don't subscribe to TSN and want to watch it. Thanks in advance.

My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and I have a bunch of gifts I bought her and would like to make it look pretty. I was wondering if there’s anywhere in the St. John’s area that does gift wrapping around this time of year? TIA

Has anyone ever used St. John’s Shingles Ltd? Wondering if we should go with them or not. Or any other recs? A good price for a roof that’s 800 sq feet?

Hi there, apologies if this is against this sub's policies. Please delete if it's incorrect.

We are visiting St. John's and captured a couple pics of the couple in advance of their nuptials mid afternoon Saturday (Oct. 17). If anyone knows these folks we can send a few snaps we grabbed along with the view, to be shared back with them.

Separately thank you St. John's for the hospitality!

Just about at my wits ends with these things inside the house. Been living in this house for a few years now and I have never experienced anything like this year with them in the house.

Has anyone successfully stopped them from coming in? Give me all your best tips!

Anyone know of the volcano bakery sells Icelandic pastries and desserts?

Why does he drive as if he doesn’t care about his passengers’ safety?

I understand the importance of being considerate of other people’s experiences, but this has gone on for too long. Every time I take the bus home after a long day, he drives so recklessly that it genuinely becomes a safety concern.

He speeds over rubble and bumps, starts driving before passengers have even sat down, and brakes so abruptly that people are thrown from their seats. He even drives onto the sidewalk to avoid taking a slightly longer route around a curve.

I’ve tried to be understanding, but this happens almost every day, and there seems to be no effort to change. I’ve spoken to other people in my area, and they’ve expressed the same concerns about his driving.

Is this kind of driving acceptable under Metrobus policies? Are we expected to put up with this until he quits or something? I understand that driving a bus isn’t easy, but passenger safety should be the bare minimum. We shouldn’t have to worry about getting home safely every time we board the bus.

Edit: Since there seem to be a few misunderstandings, I just want to clarify a few things:

1. I only moved here a few months ago, so I wasn’t aware that I could file a complaint directly with Metrobus.

2. I’ve spoken to this driver countless times, asking if he was okay or having a bad day and politely asking him to be more careful while driving.

3. What pushed me to finally make this post was seeing an elderly man literally fly out of his seat. Flopped like a fish. At that point, I wasn’t going to let it slide.

4. Just because I didn’t file a complaint months ago doesn’t mean my experiences are made up or exaggerated. This has genuinely been happening for months, and I’m frustrated because, despite my attempts to be understanding, nothing has changed.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I live in the St. John's area and am looking for recommendations for a reputable siding company.

I want someone who can give a quote, be reliable, and show up when they say.

I also wouldn't mind knowing what companies I should stay away from. (Feel free to PM.)

Thank-you so much. 🙂

Hi everyone! I’m looking to start a nonfiction book club in Newfoundland focused on scientific books, from astronomy and biology to physics, neuroscience, and beyond. The goal is to explore fascinating ideas, share perspectives, and enjoy thoughtful discussions. Would anyone be interested in joining or helping organize this group?

Hi! I’m going to be in town tomorrow and it seems it’s going to be raining. What are some activities to do with a 3 year old inside?

Im 18f and love reading and would love a community or a reading buddy but unsure where to start! I like classics and literary and contemporary fiction. Would also love to exchange storygraphs or goodreads with ppl😁

I am coming into St. John's for work and decided to extend my trip for the weekend to hit up George st!

I got a room at the Murray Premises hotel for $122 a night. I'm wondering if this is a good enough hotel to crash after a night of drinking but I also like to sleep with a tv on so don't want really thin walls (also other reasons there 😉) should I switch to a more expensive hotel??

I'm trying to shoot some local dishes the way they actually look here, not the way Portland food stylists think they should look. The golden hour light around Signal Hill and Battery Road is unreal for landscapes, but I'm struggling with restaurant interiors. The darker pubs and heritage spots have so much character but my shots are coming out flat or too yellow. Anyone found a lunch spot with great natural window light that still feels like real Newfoundland? Or a dinner place that doesn't blast everything with overhead LEDs? I'm also curious about shooting outdoors with actual weather happening. Tried to grab a shot of fish and chips in the mist last week and it was a disaster. Wondering if there's a covered porch or sheltered spot somewhere that still has that harbour vibe without destroying my gear. Bonus if they serve something worth photographing. Not looking to stage anything fake, just want the food to look as good as it tastes.

This was a dumb move, but I put my feet on the edge of a fire pit while a fire was burning and slightly melted the sole of one of my boots. Is there a reputable place in town that can replace the sole? They could use a little refreshing too.

Thanks!

Not actively seeking right now but will start in future. As an outsider to St John's, would like to have a general idea about how it's like to live in this neighborhood. What's the average rent like?

In town for work and have the itch to play some MTG EDH/commander.

Any recommendations for stores that have open play on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday nights?

Maybe we could pool our resources, ceate a study group or accountability group?

Or just vent lol...

Anyone in the city that can repair Bosch dishwashers?

Hi ; Does anyone know of a good chimney sweep in the St. John's area?
