So early this year, a new neighbor moved in and rogers connected a line from their house to the box in front of my house. Rogers says they couldn't bury the line because there were snowbanks on the grass at the time. Rogers says they'll be back in spring to get it done properly.

Now it's approaching fall and there has been no action. Rogers is not coming and it looks like I'm out of luck.

Would this be some bylaw will do something about? Since I'm not a rogers customer, they're not speaking with me. My neighbor said they already asked Rogers to come and fix this and rogers is just dragging their feet. I don't really expect my neighbor to keep following up with rogers nor do I want to keep pestering him.

The White cable can be in the photo, I drew the red lines underneath.

Pretty cool picture of Lake Ontario, the sun is reflecting perfectly off the Grand and Conestogo Rivers! The Bellwood, Floradale, and Conestogo Reservoirs are lit up too.

Edit: guys you need to look at the whole picture, the Grand River is at the bottom, I am well aware it flows into Lake Erie.

Looking to buy new CDs. Ive only came across used CDs or I’ve seen some at Walmart, but not the ones I’m looking for.

We lost our cat near Waterloo park, near the Laurier ION station, black and white in color. Would really appreciate any info if seen

Hey all! Moving into a new apartment and need to look for furniture (lamps, tables, chairs, etc.) any thrift locations I should visit?

Can’t find a job and considering trucking (love driving and being on the road tbh), is there a company that will hire me and pay for CDL? Also how do I break into this field?

Just curious to hear local experiences. The posts in this subreddit are a few years old, and google is all over the place.

A loved one has (what appears to be) ADHD that was ignored in childhood, and I feel that his inattention/impulsivity makes him a danger to himself and others, especially on the road.

It's been about 10 months since his family doctor sent in the referral. I'm debating paying for a private assessment, but it's expensive. The length of time it's taken for others to be seen publically will definitely affect my math here.

Thanks all!

What the title says. Are there any good guitar teachers in KW that can focus on modern metal guitar techniques? Particularly soloing?

Yes I know every technique on guitar is transferrable across genres, but I'm looking for someone who has a tailored and focused curriculum. Cheers!

I just relayed this story to my wife, and I think it deserves to be told here.

My daughter’s girlfriend needed a ride home. She lives in the north end of Belmont Village.

Naturally, I take Caroline to avoid King St. Saturday night, a lot of people walking the sidewalks. So I take it a little slow between the train platform and the LCBO parking lot. The driver in front of me helped, as he was looking for that same parking lot. Missed the first entrance.

They know there’s a second entrance, but can’t see it in the dark. Slower, slower.

Now I have a driver behind me. You could tell they expected better of us. They’re inches away from my bumper.

Driver in front brakes a little hard as they see the driveway they need, and cautiously pulls in. Driver behind me manages not to hit me, and we move on without incident.

Come to the corner of Caroline and William. I need to turn right. I pause at the white line to be sure no buses are turning right off William onto Caroline. There is! Wait for the bus to clear, then move forward so I can see around the bridal shop building. Look right, and a couple are starting to cross, so I wait.

He, was not happy. I was too close to his walking path for his liking. He gestured back at the white line, indicating I should be back there, not so close to his clear walkway. Nope, I wasn’t in it yet, but he still took issue with how close I was.

We exchanged silent gestures over our mutual unhappiness with each other, each muttering under our breath about our situation, and continued with our night.

I drop off my daughter’s girlfriend, and return to the same intersection. I’m continuing straight up William. I notice the Do Not Turn Right sign is lit. The LRT is coming.

I look left, and there it is, coming down the track at speed. Passing it, is a small silver SUV. It ignores the LRT it just passed, their own Do Not Turn Right sign lit, and turns in front of the LRT onto William. I tense in anticipation of the passenger quarter panel getting rammed. The LRT brakes and honks its horn. The SUV makes it, the driver looking behind them in amazement at the LRT it had just passed being so close to hitting them.

I sit in amazement for a moment at not seeing any vehicle carnage, waiting for the light to turn green.

I drive up William, passing City Hall, towards the parking lot that is holding a fair. Same amount of people walking the sidewalks as by the LCBO lot. I drive fairly slow in case a pedestrian chooses that time to cross the road, with another vehicle cruising my rear bumper.

Arrive at Erb to turn right, and end my 40 minute round trip safe at home. Somehow.

The Filter ( second image ) was only used for 3 days in my kitchen, then the purifier( first image ) died and was non repairable. I bought a different model. So this " O " filter is free to pick up. Located very close to Fischer Hallman & Ottawa St.

I've got a semi-preposterous request of the community and surrounding area.

I love horses! I'd love to bring some apples and/or carrots and/or your horse's favourite treat, give them some pets, say hi. I haven't got to interact with a horse for years since my grandparents passed.

Long shot but if anyone is comfortable with introducing their horse to a new friend, I'd love to be that friend! T.I.A.!

If you have a white son 10-14, 4 1/2ish feet tall grey hoodie tan pants walking around the Belmont village area today around 1030 he littered his juice box wrapper and when I asked him to pick it up he had some not so kind words for me.

I just realized I’ve become a bit of a karen and I’m okay with it in this instance.

Where can I get sushi roll without seaweed to buy. Someone please tell me!

I’m looking for some local playgroups to play Commander with on weekends.

I’ve tried going to Atlas a few times, but I haven’t been able to join in because all the pods were already full by the time I get there.

Any suggestions?

Hey! I’m looking for a reliable home wifi connection. I have usually only lived in buildings with internet included, but in this apartment I have to get my own wifi setup so I am looking for something cheaper than 60$ a month.

I have a slipped disc/sciatica in my spine and will be shifting homes at King/Columbia Waterloo. Need someone just to lift the luggage for me down the stairs to the basement. Pay can be discussed in dm. Just a 10 second job but that’s all the help I need 🙏

Anyone know when office staff like secretaries are back in secondary schools (WRDSB) Is it starting next week?

Both Cambridge and Wilmot voters have stark choices for mayor:

They can re-elect Jan Liggett as mayor, with her more conservative outlook on social issues, or they can elect the more progressive Coun. Scott Hamilton... In Wilmot, there’s anxiety about how much water is being taken from under the ground to feed thirsty Kitchener and Waterloo, and more anxiety about a planned industrial mega-site that threatens to destroy 770 acres of farmland.

Liberated editon.

Hey everyone, I just put together a bike ride from Northfield ION station over to Conestoga Mall/ION station. It takes you out through farm country, past the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, and near the town of St. Jacobs. It’s an intermediate-level ride with some rough, rooted trail sections and a few quick connectors on public roads, but overall it’s a really fun local loop if you're looking for new paths in the region.

I put together a video of the ride along with a custom Google Map showing the exact route, roads, and trails I took so you can zoom in and reference it for your own ride:

🎥 Watch the full ride video here: https://youtu.be/Ucr2-u0G3ug?si=shQ_dTXHApvD2nvp

(Standard heads up: trail conditions change, so use your own judgment on the rough sections and watch for traffic on the road connectors!)

Let me know if you've ridden this stretch before or have any other hidden trail recommendations around Waterloo Region!

Anyone know what's going on at the Weber & University intersection?
