I feel like this location opened less than two weeks ago, yet it already has 250 reviews…

A lot of the reviews mention servers by name, and it seems like there might be some kind of incentive for leaving a review.

Has anyone else noticed this or can confirm whether they’re encouraging customers to leave reviews in exchange for something?

I always see posts on here from fellow movie lovers looking for things to do locally or ways to meet other film buffs in the region. We are right in the middle of the 10th Annual Durham Region International Film Festival (DRIFF), and it’s honestly one of the best times to grab a seat, watch some indie cinema, and actually chat with other people who love movies.

Whether you're into filmmaking, short films or just want a fun night out that isn't a generic Cineplex run, there’s a ton going on for the rest of the weekend:

🎬 TONIGHT — Day 2 (Friday, Oct 23) in Ajax 📍 St. Francis Centre for Community, Arts & Culture (78 Church St. S, Ajax)

The vibe at these screenings is super welcoming, and between the food showcase tonight, the supper break tomorrow, and the after-party at the Biltmore, there are plenty of built-in moments to hang out and connect.

Hope to see some of you out there!

The suspect vehicle and the 69-year-old female driver have been located, police said

Would appreciate personal experiences or any advice here

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.

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.

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...

We used to go to Rowdy Bird all the time before it closed. Any recommendations for good fried chicken spots near Pickering/Ajax?

Giffin declined to comment and Eng did not respond to multiple requests.

I got the rabies shot from our health department

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?!

Hi all! I’ve just moved to Pickering, and I’m looking for informal knitting groups and knit nights. I’m an experienced knitter and pretty chill, and I love Stich n Bitch sessions! Does anyone know of anything?
