Good food, great people.

Hey there pentictonians! I visited back in November and loved it so much I’m coming back this weekend. Your beer, people, and city were wonderful. I was curious if there is any dining I shouldn’t miss? Last time I basically hit every brewery and Lachi.

I’m from eastern Washington state, so good Indian food is a nice treat. But let’s be real, so is Timmy’s. Also willing to drive to kelwona, summerland, etc.

This is assuming they let my stupid filthy American ass into your wonderful country again. A lot has changed in a few months.

Also if anyone needs anything not weird or illegal from Washington speak up now!

Advice on Neighbourhood to Buy in Penticton

Hi, my husband and I are new to the area from Ontario. Currently renting but looking to buy. I'm wondering what the Wilste/Valleyview area is like for buying? We don't know the area too well and definitely not what it's like in all 4 seasons. We're looking at houses in the streets of Barton, Partridge, Evergreen, Hawthorne area, specifically right now. We're looking for something pretty quiet and peaceful, family orientated. Would you recommend?

Bus #5 drove by 15+ children without stopping

This was the stop at green and eraut, I already called in and told them but I’m still pissed. Me and my little sister had to wait for #1 and now we’re going to be home like 20 minutes later than normal. My fingers are genuinely numb typing this up only just regaining feeling now

Do you undercoat your cars for rust-proofing?

I read that the city uses salt water on the roads. Do you undercoat your cars to protect it from rust? If so, where do you go locally to get it done?

Where to buy vermiculite?

Beginner gardener and new Pentictonite here. I'm planning a soil mix for my raised bed garden and I'm trying to find somewhere to buy vermiculite. Are there any garden centers or other stores here that sell it in bulk?

Frost Fest Rail Jam

Hi fellow Pentictonites! I moved here a year ago and just love it, so many fun events around here. I wanted to share my footage from last night's FrostFest Rail Jam incase anyone missed it! It was such a good time we went in the afternoon and back again in the evening!

Cheapest cabs in town.

My Dad lives in Penticton and heard there was a cab company that's almost half the price? If not then what the cheapest cab company would be. Thanks!

Is Computer Tech-Ease still in business?

I've contacted them by phone and their site over the last week and had no response from them. They've been closed every time I've driven by. I don't see a notice about closure on their site.

I understand it's the holidays but usually a business would put a notice on their door and/or website and/or voicemail if they're going on vacation. Hoping they aren't having health issues or something else horrible like that!

Does anyone know if/when they'll be open again?

Any good Dive Bars?

I’m going to the Penticton/Hedley area for a bachelor party, and am curious if there are any good Dive Bars in the area?

Hoping for it to have karaoke, and a vibe that suits 10-14 30 year olds out for a good time.
