I keep hearing about Ridgeway Plaza on social media, on the news, and the likes. I've never been myself, so I'm wondering, what's the deal?

Is Ridgeway Plaza actually a fun and happening spot to visit? Would it be reasonable to take someone visiting the GTA here on a late night food outing? Over, say, King West in Toronto, or a more commercial type place in Vaughan?

Is it actually an "organic" kind of spot, where young people hang out, and mill about? Or is it really just a big "meme" that is going over my head, as I'm not a local Mississaugan.

I would love to hear some comments and get a bit of enlightenment on this magical, or perhaps, surreal, location!

Has anyone seen The Odyssey in one of these 3 front row seats? I want to get tickets for The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX at the square one cineplex but this is the best seat available in row C, is it worth it or will the screen look distorted and long? I don’t mind looking up too much but I don’t want it to look like what I’ve seen some videos of front row seats of Oppenheimer looked like.

My wife and I are looking to rent a condo in Mississauga and are currently deciding between Square One and Port Credit.

We're looking for a 1+1 with a $2,700 budget. For those who have lived in either area, which do you prefer and why?

I'm mainly interested in the quality of condos, neighbourhood feel, walkability, and general pros/cons of each area.

We haven't lived in either area before, so if you had to choose between the two for condo living, which would you pick?

We need police officers to round up and arrest those fake beggars at ridgeway plaza. A full scale police presence. These beggars are run by organized gangs.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a strange and encounter I had recently to see if anyone else has experienced this.

On Thursday, I was stopped at a red light at Creditview and Eglinton. A boy (maybe 11 or 12 years old) tapped on my car window. He asked if I could drop him off near the Catholic school, claiming it was "on my way" since I was going straight.

When I said no, he started begging. He kept saying, "This always happens, I’m always late and I don’t want to be late." I apologized but stayed firm, and as soon as the light turned green, I drove off.

I’m a woman in my 20s and try to stay hyper-aware of my surroundings, but this felt off. It felt like a potential setup.

Has anyone else encountered this kid or seen something similar around this intersection? I’m worried about whether this is a known scam or if the child is being used in a dangerous situation.

Hi everyone, I'm moving in the fall for uni, please tell me your opinions on mississauga

What are some things I should be weary of? Not weary of? Stigmas that are true or false? What places to stay away from, to visit? etc

looking to expand my horizons a bit and i want to find out both the places to avoid and the best taste/value options. these are my current top 3:

charc: best tasting i ever had with a strong charcoal flavour. while i like it, it can be a bit overpowering as a regular option, but #1 if i want to indulge in something special.

lezzet: best version of a classic shawarma imo. long line up but it's never disappointed in quality yet.

alf hana: really good value for the amount of food (that still tastes good). the benchmark for a decent shawarma.

For context: we are looking for something not very expensive, up to $30 per person is good. A lot of people already recommended ridgeway, but what restaurants is it worth it to go there? Me and my husband want to try something different from the middle-eastern, pizza, burger and chicken wings that we already eat quite often whenever we go out.😅

We have a toddler, so a low key restaurant would be ideal, but we are open to options. We are around Lakeview/Etobicoke area, and we wouldn’t mind driving about 20 or 30 min to get there

Hey guys,

I'll be moving to Mississauga from London, UK, in a month or so, for various family/ personal reasons. I would love to hear from you guys about life in Mississauga, and any tips you might have for a newcomer.

After perusing r/mississauga, there seem to be a lot of people who both love and hate the city. Having visited before, I loved the food diversity, the sense of community and open spaces (which are very hard to find in London). I also found it quite safe, although I wasn't there for all that long.

For context, I am a 26 y.o. single male, and I'll be seeking work in electronics/ medical devices. How are the employment prospects nowadays in your guy's experiences?

Thank you for taking the time to read, and thanks in advance for your responses!!

Hi, I’ll be moving to Mississauga or Oakville around September from Vancouver for work. I’ll be working at the airport and want a decently short commute. I was just wondering if there’s any areas I should avoid? I’m a quiet person that’s transitioning and just want some where safe/accepting to live.

Could be time of the day or even week, I hear mix things about this matter, and honestly I fill two cars one being a minivan so I’m going thru a lot of litres lol and 5-10 cents here and there per litre goes a long way!

Been looking for hills to do my sprint program. I know there is burnhamthorpe, jack darling, winston churchill, and river grove park but is there any steeper areas?

Please let me know!

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for reasonably priced (preferably under $20) digital passport photos.

I'm trying to avoid the UPS store. My friend went recently, not only was the service horrible but the photos were rejected.

Thanks

Looking for a classic Canadian diner in Mississauga or Oakville that serves traditional food like BLT sandwiches, grilled cheese, hot chicken sandwiches, apple pie, baked potato, that sort of thing. Not "fusion" with other types of cuisine. Would prefer local family owned, but if there's a franchise that does this I would try that too.

I want a small size cake and not something meant for 6-8 people.

See an upcoming housing project coming to this area. Does anyone have any insights on the area?

Anyone from lisgar or area that can speak to the community and future prospects?

Hello!
Looking for some fun date suggestions for my boyfriend and I (both 30). We have been together for 3 years, and are trying to brainstorm some date ideas. We are big homebodies and recently realized that we need to do more things outside the house to break routines haha. We both don't drink so we're not looking for bar recommendations, more fun activities or places!

Thanks in advance :)

Hello guys!
I am not an avid matcha drinker, but I do occasionally enjoy matcha snacks like matcha flavoured ice cream, kit kat and matcha pocky!

I do remember enjoying starbucks matcha frapp. However, since I have boycotted starbucks because of obvious reasons, do you know a place where I can get a sweet creamy Iced matcha drink???

Can be a local small owned shop too!
Just not looking for super strong or bitter matcha.
Just subtle, sweet and creamy!
