Horrible neighbours in apartment building

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm at my wits end with my neighbours. They yell and scream and allow their kid and dogs to do the same in the hallway. I literally just had to go out the door and yell at their kid who was screaming in the hall.. and the parents were home!! It'a been 5 months and at this point I just want them gone.

My building is mainly studio apartments and it houses several families in them, but it is this ONE family that doesn't give a fck about those living near them.

Do I have any options other than noise complaints? I know how harsh this sounds but I am so done with these people.

Any advice is appreciated.

Local Business Chez Luciens bigger side is open now+

Upvotes

They just opened the doors on the extension for Chez Lucien. If you want to swing by for dinner tonight, the entrance is off dalhousie where the old Ma Cuisine was. Its much larger and there are great improvement. The biggest for myself is having a mainfloor bathroom and the kitchen also being on the mainfloor, plus all the natural lighting from all the windows!

Great day to enjoy our beautiful city

Upvotes

We are genuinely lucky to live in such a great city. Spent the afternoon walking around downtown, had lunch in Major Hills park, walked the canal, went to the market, everywhere was packed with people enjoying themselves and the sights Ottawa has to offer. Unfortunately the top of Kiweki Point was closed today but nonetheless a great day out on the town!

I wish the popular flea markets and food events would switch up their vendors more

Upvotes

I adore 613Flea, Vegans Who Snack, Parkdale Night Market, etc. But it feels like it’s always the same vendors each time. 613Flea is especially notorious for this. I love to support my local artists and small businesses, but I also would like to see these events feature new people and types of vendors.

Ottawa Comic Con - Meeting other comic book fans?

Upvotes

I've been to Ottawa Comic Con a few times. It's always a lot of fun, but I don't find many chances to actually interact with other attendees. This year I am hoping it can provide an opportunity to make some new friends, especially with fellow comic book enthusiasts. I didn't see many panels in the schedule specifically dedicated to comics. Does anyone know the best way of making new friends at this event?

The waterfront that has “nothing to do and no where to sit”

Went for a walk along the same path that someone was complaining about earlier, featuring the “huge parking lot” that was the source of their ire in the last photo. Clearly there is no where to sit and enjoy the river, or fish or swim or kayak at all here!

Hi fellow Ottawans. My kid is keen to try archery, but all of the clubs, lessons, and camps I've seen are for older kids. Any options for archery lessons or just an opportunity to try it out for this age group?

Protest??? Downtown

Upvotes

So was driving through Downtown around 10:30 this morning and saw two groups I thought were protesting but they weren’t waving signs or anything. First group were carrying two recliners spray painted and they had blue shirts and white shirts with signatures and graffiti also. The second group had the same colour scheme but had a spray painted love-seat. The only thing I could make out was “F*** Buffalo.” Anyone know what this was??

Looking for wild strawberry anywhere in Ottawa right now

Upvotes

I need three or four plugs to act as ground cover for an area in my front. I found a few places online that have them for pickup but they are well outside of driving range.

Anybody happen to know where I would be able to get some in the next few days so that I can plant them in time to get a harvest next year

I'm looking specifically for wild strawberry because they are an aggressive ground Runner that producing large number of very small fruit so that I can out harvest the stupid rabbits
