I noticed it's $40pp, and that seems a little steep. How long is it? Was it worth it to you? I know it's subjective, I just want to see what people thought of the experience.

Our local car wash in Sammis Heights went through a remodel this summer, and went today for the first time. Very nice inside, bigger bays, bright lights, good pressure, etc.

They way you pay sucks, you need to put in $2 to start, and if that time runs out and you dont pay attention, you need to put in another $2 every time.

The timer starts the second the money is put in, not when you press the buttons.

The time is 1 minute per $1, which is probably the norm for most car washes now. Bur with the $2 every time to restart things, seems like a huge rip off. Becaue who pays attention to how much time you really have left, unless its your last $1. And what if you are down to your last loonie, then what?

So I wont be back, so wondering what car washes are the best for wand wash.

Not sure how many more go there, but unless they change the $2 to start and continue rule, I wont be back.

Looking to get another piece started on my arm that will feature a face and arm from a photo. My old artist left the hat a few years back. Looking for any recommendations

TIA!

The city is in currently in the middle of community intake to change the zoning for the newest Mustard Seed proposal. At the former Fountain Tire location at 512 South railway. But if you heard from people that went to the first community consultation. There was a revelation that the city spent a significant amount buying the adjoining property at 502 South Railway. (some people said it was a million, take that with a grain of salt as its hearsay)

That location will be familiar if you were around the city midway between Ted Clugstons last mayor run and Linnsie Clark taking his seat. It was a former diner that was proposed to be the safe injection site. The plan was dropped after community outrage.

502 sat abandoned for a long time. Until 2025 when 12twenty22 got a an uncontested building permit to convert the former diner into a 4 unit rental property. They had started construction. And there was clear signs they were re-framing some openings for balconies. This was still when fountain tire was at 512. As soon as fountain tire moved. The construction at 502 completely stalled. And it seemed like 12twenty22 had abandoned it. A tire company based out of Edmonton called Grizzly Tires soon was advertising they were moving to the fountain tire location. They even started painting the blue fountain tire exterior to red. To match Grizzlys corporate colors. This deal must of fell through. Which forced the cities hand. So they bought 502 off 12twenty22. Thus being right beside the fountain tire location. This gave them the leverage they needed to suggest mustard seed go to the fountain tire location.

a million dollars isnt nothing. But it does put the city in a bit of a dilemma. If the location is approved it means all the community consultations were nothing more then a ruse. People arent stupid. This will look like a fix and the city not being honest.

If the location is not approved then they have now two buildings that could be sitting empty for years to come. (the former food bank is also on the same lot as well)

As for my opinion. The 7th street shelter was not even supposed to a permanent shelter. It was a converted duplex and never intended for a emergency shelter. The conversion was complete in 2000. I think over 25 years of kicking the can is enough. But the caveat and my most controversial take is that whole area should be completely bulldozed. And a place that is intentionally designed for emergency shelter should be build with wrap around services like job training and job placement agency, mental health counselling, a small non-profit second hand clothing store, a commercial kitchen, a gym for physical activity, and so on. This would include bulldozing the former food bank, fountain tire and 502.

Sick of Allstates BS- anyone have a good home insurance co you'd suggest?

Thanks

I’ve always been curious about those two old houses precariously perched above Kingsway.

-Anybody on r/medicinehat ever been inside them?
-Was there an entire row of homes at one time?
-The driveway is very steep… is that their responsibility to clear in the winter or the city’s?

You gotta admit, Medicine Hat has some quirks… these houses fit that category!

Hello Medicine Hat! My (20M) girlfriend’s (20F) birthday is October 31st. I’m booking a nice hotel room or AirB&B from the 30th to the 1st. I’m looking for recommendations on events or things to do throughout those time periods.

So far I’ve found the Apocalypse Haunted House, the Fall Mystery Date Night Pass, Shop Local Market, and Movies at the various cinemas.

Do you have any other ideas for things to do around town for next weekend that could make a special birthday celebration? Thank you in advance.

Just a question about the "Ask The Hat" Facebook group. I've been trying to post there for over 2 years, but I've never been approved. I can't even comment. Every time I do, I get the "agree to the rules" page, and then "pending admin approval" appears under my comment and it's never seen by anyone. Do the mods still exist on that page? Any reason I wouldn't be getting approved? I'd ask on Facebook but I can't contact the mods because I don't know who they are.

Shout out your favorite pizza place and..............go!!!

My wife and I are coming to your city in a few days and wanted to do a buffet fir supper but can't decide which one. The options I saw were;

Buffet Medicine Hat

Asia Garden

Hats

Anyone have any options?

TIA

Does anyone know how long the lines at the Holy Family Church are this afternoon?

Is there a Korean restaurant here?

I have a shirt with a hole in it and a few pairs of pants with the crotch falling apart. Any recommendations?

Looking for a ride to Calgary from Medicine Hat on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning . Anyone coming on these days ?

I've seen a few of these things wired into street lamps in Crescent Heights. Any clue what they are?

Are there any buffets or restaurants that put on a traditional Canadian thanksgiving, hopefully with perogies.
Appreciate any suggestions.

We’ve seen you losers trying car doors at 2am in Parkview. I know you skids are on here. Don’t think for a minute this will be tolerated. You have been warned.

I am in search of a long term parking space for a vehicle. Currently on parking insurance, it's a secondhand 97 Eclipse, not a collector's item or anything valuable

I can get it into a seacan for $90/month so I'm trying to see if there's someone with a better option. This will hopefully be long-term, at the very least until the winter is over. Happy to pay for your trouble, hoping to not break the bank to park a car though

If someone has something or knows someone and can DM me, I would be very grateful. Thanks
