Does anyone know what is up with the random signs posted over on the forest road side of the QV lake trail? One mentions a plane crash that apparently happened there in 2001 or something. There others make no sense to me.

Hey everyone, I have a quick question about auto insurance and I’m hoping someone here can help clarify things for me.

I’m currently insured with Company A, but I’m planning to switch to a new provider that’s offering me a better rate. However, I want to switch my current policy with Company A to "parking only" coverage (just to keep it active and avoid any cancellation penalties) while I transition to the new provider.

My question is: Is it allowed to have two auto insurance policies on the same vehicle at the same time, even if one is for "parking only" coverage and the other is a full auto insurance policy with a new company?

I’m trying to avoid any gaps in coverage, but I’m also not sure if this setup would be considered a violation of any insurance rules.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

About 2012ish I saw some retro style Newfoundland art. I think one was an image of a boat coming through the narrows. There were several different ones. It had a vintage 40's or 50's marketing style to it. I remember seeing them on the wall at Hava Java and a store downtown sold them. I always regretted not getting them back then and would love to find them for my home office.

Does anyone remember these?

Posted this in the Newfoundland sub as well, but hoping someone around St. John's might remember seeing them as well and know something about them.

Thanks in advance if you have any info!

Anywhere in town that sells the delivery bags for skip?

I’m trying to avoid Amazon but will if I have to (also not against getting second hand if anyone has one).

Thanks for any direction 🙏✌️

The 19 year old's mother posted that he's home again. Thank you all for sharing.

Looking to go away somewhere hot, sunny, affordable and fun this winter. Any suggestions for resorts/carriers/travel agents that know the best options when you live on a remote island? TIA!

I have some items that I could sell (or give away) on Facebook Marketplace, but the experience has not always been great... So I want to donate them to a thrift store, but which of the thrift stores do the most "good" for the community?

Can anybody tell me where I can email digital files from my phone and have them printed out in hard copy? I need to make up a few and mail them asap!

Edit: Got it! Thanks everyone!!

Edit #2: it was not a difficult process to order them online from walmart. I picked them up yesterday afternoon, checked them out and the photo quality is quite nice. However, the photo paper is flimsy and not like I recall photo paper from years ago. So, for next time, I would like to have a better quality of paper. That's what I'm looking for now. Anybody know a place that uses a good quality photo paper?

I just observed the recycling guy come by and look at my blue bags. He then took both bags and tossed then in my garbage bin. I also had a carboard box out there which he took.

I'm confused as to why the blue bags were not thrown in the recycling truck. The bags were sorted based on the city guide. There was mostly plastics and a few tins in the blue bags. For the guy to just quickly look and discard of them is disappointing. Wondering if anybody else has noticed this? I wonder if the issue is they don't want the hassle of dealing with low return items, similar to why glass is not recycled. If it was something I done wrong I'd like to know as I invest my time in cleaning tin cans and items so residual/waste isn't left inside.

Hi you all!!

I want to invite a Muslim friend for dinner but have no idea about the halal food scene in the city (I suppose there are not many halal restaurants).

Do you know a place that offers good food at a relatively decent price? It doesn't matter if it serves food from a specific country or region, only requirement is that it has to be halal.

Going to the Techniplex for soccer for the first time. I know they require indoor shoes, but I’m assuming since it’s turf that cleats are okay as opposed to indoor soccer shoes? Only asking because I got a stern talking to using spikes at The Works a few years ago even though it’s a rubber track.

Beginner runner here and I would like to keep up the momentum through the winter months and I don’t love running on the treadmill. Does anyone have tips for winter running here? Any recommendations for areas which are fairly flat and quiet to run after work? I am hoping to keep running after work but with it getting dark so early I think I would rather avoid trails and stick to roads.

Hi all, my kid (7yo) has too much stuff and doesn’t really play with toys. I’m looking for experience gifts for Christmas this year, but finding it pretty difficult because we don’t really have decent museums/aquariums/etc here for a membership. I was thinking about maybe a hotel with a pool for a night, but wondering if there are other things that I just don’t know about.

I have a pair of VERY thick, large, and heavy curtains that need to be hemmed. Some pleats also need to be redone. It looks like it would be a complex job and I’m not sure if I can just take them to a regular clothes tailor.

Does anyone have suggestions as to where I can bring them? Thanks in advance!

My wife and I are planning on visiting the rock at the end of June, spending the first week in St. John’s

Her late father was born and raised in St. John’s and we are bringing a little bit of his ashes home.

My wife last visited 45 years ago. I was there in 2000 so it has been awhile for both of us

Looking for suggestions on places to eat besides the ones you see on Trip Advisor. Looking for smaller, family owned places with good local food…traditional NFLD dishes

Also looking for suggestions on places to visit besides the well known tourist spots. We are renting a car so we can travel around.

And the most asked question…where to get screeched in.

We cannot wait to visit and for my wife it will be quite emotional as she is returning her father home…

Thank you in advance for any suggestions/recommendations….(I apologize if these questions have been asked too many times)

Hello, wanted to check if it is a rule that when doing pre-purchase house inspection in St John's area, buyer can't go with inspector into house, can't check stuff himself (like checking receptacle a, water taps, etc.), but can only go at the end, for a walkthrough? Anyone can recommend inspection company? Thank you.

Hello, fellow residents of St. John’s and Mount Pearl! I’m a student at Memorial University, currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Physical Education program. I’m taking a course that requires me to complete volunteer hours, but I’m having some difficulty finding short-term volunteer opportunities. If anyone knows of places or people I could reach out to for volunteer work or if anyone here could use a helping hand from a volunteer, please let me know. Thank you for any response or help!

Hi guys! My partner and I are expecting our first child in spring 2025! We’re looking into strollers and it’s… a lot. We could use some help figuring out what might be a good fit for use in and around town.

We spend a lot of time walking on local trails (Virginia river, bowring, behind DFO, etc.) and on sidewalks downtown and in the east end. So we’re looking for something that is safe and works well on those types of terrain.

We test drove a few at babies r us but it’s obviously not the same as it will be out in the wild. We don’t have family or friends with kids in town so we don’t have any strollers we can test outside of the stores! Help!

If you have any recommendations on what might work (or not work) that would be so appreciated.

Also… is it even possible to walk with a stroller on sidewalks in the winter here? Snow removal is… not the best. If not, where do people walk in the winter with a baby?!

Thank you so much in advance!

EDIT: thank you all so, so much for your responses - we’ve read each one and they were incredibly helpful. To be honest, jogging strollers weren’t even on our radar before, so your comments have saved us a lot of headaches (and $$$) down the road. Thanks again!

Where can I find vintage sweaters in town!! I’ve been searching everywhere but I am in no luck ☹️

Hey! I'm a third-year international student at MUN and moved to St. John's about three years ago. I've been struggling to make friends for a while now. I did make some friends in classes only to find out that our friendship came to an end after the semester - I guess I've just had bad luck lol. Between school and work, I'm usually pretty busy on weekdays, but it really hits me on the weekends when I have no one to hang out with and it gets super boring. I've always been a very outgoing person, and not having someone to hang out with kinda sucks :(

Would love some advice on how I can make friends in the city! And if anyone is looking for a new friend, please feel free to reach out - I'd love to meet new people! :)
