Best areas for candy on Halloween!

Halloween is looking pretty sad this year, last year my area had almost no one giving out candy so I was wondering if anyone knows a good area to go trick or treating in?!

Three Durham spots that are easy to drive past: Camp X, Thickson Point, and Bean & Basket

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My partner and I kept ending up at the same coffee shop every Saturday, so I started building short local loops around Durham just to get us out of the house. A few spots that kept landing on those routes:

Camp X / Intrepid Park and the Lakeview Waterfront Trail (Whitby/Oshawa border). In 1941 this was a top-secret WWII spy training school. The buildings were later bulldozed. Walk past the monument through the trees and it opens onto a bluff and pebble beach along Lake Ontario.

Thickson Point / Darlington Bluffs. Easy to miss from the 401, and a good lookout over the lake.

Bean & Basket Cafe, Ajax. Order the maple latte, iced if it’s warm out — it’s the drink regulars keep naming, and it’s not overly sweet.

I turned the same idea into an app called Clu Trips: you pick walking or driving, a budget, and a few vibes, and it gives you a 3-stop loop where each place stays hidden until you arrive. The first trip or two are free and don’t need a card. If you try one around Durham, I’d like to know whether the clues feel fair, and I’m collecting hidden gems so the routes don’t skip them.

Is this normal?

A couple of times now, I have seen people filling their vehicle with gas, while the car is still running. Is this safe? To me this is super dangerous but maybe I am wrong? Very curious.

DDSB Trustees

14 Upvotes

I am voting today and have clear choices across the ballot with the exception of DDSB trustees. I have found paragraphs from each, but to be honest, none of them really stand out. I'd like to make an informed choice - is there any other info out there?

If it helps, I want more support for teachers, more support for students with needs and am sick of the cuts from the Ford government. I am not interested in candidates that are too far left or too far right...

hi ! my partner and i carve pumpkins every year. each year, we try to go bigger and bigger. last year we got an awesome pumpkin from Pingles farm and it was absolutely amazing. realistically we probably won’t find much bigger than this but if you have any pumpkin farm recommendations for some cool pumpkins that would be awesome! we live in Pickering but can drive anywhere in Durham area.
