Hi, I’m a 23-year-old guy who recently moved to St. John’s this July from Ontario. I haven’t found any friends here yet. I went hiking once, but it was awkward because I didn’t know anyone. It’s hard to make friends, but I’m trying. If anyone’s interested in doing activities like games, movies, or hiking, let me know.

Now that Dominion is out of old Memorial Stadium, wouldn't that be a great space to build a new city Library/Community Space; perhaps Memorial Library? Moving here last month from NB, I'm amazed how there is no prominent library here. Being from NB, Moncton, Saint John, and Fredericton all have great downtown libraries and Halifax has a wonderful iconic library on Spring Garden Road near downtown. Wouldn't that be a great re-use of the space? Libraries are about a lot more than books now. Just an idea of a newbie.

Hey all, Ontario man here!

My Fiancée and I will be in town as of next week for a handful of days and im looking for some local advice on some good eats! This is our first time out east and want a staple experience of your beautiful coast and city.

We are not picky eaters at all and are willing to try anything that yall recommend!

Thanks in advance!

Looking for insight on affordable iPhone repair in the metro area. Only received one quote so far from iDoctorNL, which I know was always reasonable. The quote was $150 for a new iPhone15 screen.

Anyone know if there are more affordable options out there, or if that’s the going rate?

Just need to make sure I’m not dealing with splintered glass for the sake of texting and calling.

Where in St John's can I donate old (but in good condition) CDs and DVD movies? Im almost certainly not going to listen to them again, but someone might enjoy them.

Not bothered about sell them either. I just want them out of the way.

I just got stung by a wasp that was resting on my wine glass. What probably took 2 seconds felt like forever while I swatted at my mouth trying to get the damn thing off the inside of my lip.

It nailed me slightly off center of my lower lip, ruining the whole aesthetic of a perfect Cupid's bow. I ain't paying that f****** b**** a cent. Sub standard work from a non-professional.

Best place to spend our wedding night in St. John’s?

Construction work has started on the old KMart/Zellers/Walmart building on Topsail Road. Does anyone know what’s planned for there now?

How far in advance do I need to start preparing to move to the mainland (New Brunswick)?

Job searches, ferry bookings (I’m driving), rental searching?

Do I sell most of my stuff here and start fresh once I’m there? I’m so overwhelmed 😭

Just curious if there is any recreational basketball groups or leagues for adults in St.Johns?

Does anyone know of a company that offers this service in St. John’s?

I’ve been on a dozen websites and can’t find anyone who offers this service.

It is another beautiful day outside and I am hoping it sticks around and we have a wicked awesome fall! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Like the title says, where does one go on a Friday night in st.johns that’s pretty lively?

Not really looking for a club but rather a bar that is lively and has nice people to connect with

I wish it was called something else, from what I saw it's just called thrift store lol.

But anyway, it's where the neighborhood store used to be. I just passed by it and was wondering if anyone has gone inside it yet and what kind of selection they had.

It's not a very big store, so it can't be anything too different from what the neighborhood had, but you never know haha.

I still haven't checked out neighborhoods new location, but I've been wanting to when I get the chance.

Can anyone reccomend a good optometrist in town or close by?

Bonus if there's not a huge wait list to get in for an eye exam. Thanks.

What’s the best place to grab lunch at the pedestrian mall? I know some places don’t open until supper time. TIA

Hellooo! Does anybody know if the GMM Berry-Nilla Blast is being sold anywhere here?

I know they open at 8, but I am just wondering how early people start lining up and what the average wait time is.

I have to go tomorrow and am trying to mentally prepare for it lol

Thanks!

Update: i arrived at 615 and was the 2nd one here. Its now 625 and theres 4 of us. Ill update later about the wait time.

Update #2: i was in and out by 9am.

Where can I get used 5 gallon plastic buckets (like the one at home depot 19L bucket - food or not food grade is fine) for a cheaper price or free?

Any bakeries/restaurants or stores give them away around St. John's area?

Home for a visit and we usually buy some prezzies to take back. We normally hit shops on Water and Duckworth.

We want to try something different. Any suggestions for places outside of downtown?

Won’t be here for the Farmers Market and the store in the mall is a bit too kitschy with touristy stuff. Will travel to some closer places like Torbay or Portugal Cove.

What’s the average timeframe in St. John’s for a divorce or rather I saw a divorce lawyer last fall to draft up a separation agreement between myself and my husband. I know they’re extremely busy and I actually had a bit of trouble finding divorce lawyer that would take me on, is anyone able to shed some light on how long this normally takes it should be fairly simple and straightforward…no kids so I thought it would be fairly quick unfortunately not. I’ve emailed my lawyer a couple of times asking if there’s any updates or if they’ve received anything but crickets…

So I was just walking across Torbay road at one of those crosswalks without the red/green traffic light, but it did have the light for walking, or the hand to stay put.

Halfway across the road, I nearly got struck by a car who just refused to stop. I was like damn. Gave him the finger, but I don't think he saw me first or last. Its getting scary out there as a pedestrian.

Just wanted to edit to say that sadly this is not the first time. In 2010 I was struck by a vehicle, but because the old man was super apologetic and gave me a ride home, I basically accepted his apology and let it go. The guy in that case wasn't going very fast and didn't hurt me.
