Curious if anyone has a membership there or checked it out. I'm looking for a gym at the moment and would love any suggestions and whether or not this place is a good consideration.

Should the city of Guelph leave Twitter (X)?

I was just reading that some premiers and federal leaders responded to the US tariffs by posting on X and was a bit incredulous. Like, what are we doing here?

Anyway if you think Guelph at least should leave Twitter/X then email the CAO, and hey, CC the mayor too and some councillors.

Pokemon Card Trades & Sells

Hi there,

I saw this question was asked a few years ago but was wondering if there was any update on it. I went to the Pokemon TCG card show last weekend and saw the insane amount of fans we have in town, so I was wondering, where does everyone go to trade/sell their cards other than those card shows, around Guelph? I know of some of the local stores (Brodie's, GameStop, TKO) but was wondering if there were any others or any independent people that have or are looking to setup a trade group.

Been wanting to trade some of my hits I've attained lately and didn't want to search out card shows every month if there was other avenues.

Thanks.

Recommendations for sump pump installation

Hi folks,

I'm looking for an honest business or competent contractor to install a sump pump in my old ass house. It's a small, unfinished basement. Standard installation, nothing special

Please drop your recommendations (and if you're feeling especially generous, your estimate for a cost)

Thanks!

Porch pirate Walmart

I ordered a Ps5 through Walmart and I never received it so I went through Walmart and I asked them to refund it or send me another one. They ended up asking me for a police report . I was wondering what that entails do I have to go to a police station and what happens after? We don’t have a doorbell camera so I don’t have cctv footage. Idk about our neighbors but do I have to ask them for footage or will the police ask them? I was reading online and a lot of people say they basically dont do much about it. id really appreciate it if anyone could provide insight into this as im a student at the university and im really busy so i wanna know what im getting into but its still 650 dollars so i definitely cant swallow a loss like that esp as a student

Sink Holes - East end

Are we just waiting for sink holes to develop or is there a plan to fill the valley’s in the road at Watson/Eastview and Starwood between Grange and Watson? Looks like the city pulled the material for all of our amazing speed bumps from those pits in the road.

Even filtered water leaves scale in kettle after ONE boil...argh!

I know there are options like boiling a mix of water with lemon juice or vinegar to deal with the scale, but any suggestions to minimize the scale in the first place?

I got a brand new, glass electric kettle as apparently scale doesn't build up as much on glass, but there's still the metal heating element on the bottom. Even with filtered water (fridge door dispenser), there is scale stuck to the heating element after one boil cycle.

I'm in a house which has a water softener system as well. Any suggestions? I'd rather not have to boil lemon juice or vinegar after EVERY use. Help a tea drinker out! Am I destined to use bottled water? I'd rather not create all that waste/recycling. Would that even make a difference?

Is There Anywhere to Play Warhammer 40k in Town?

I'm looking to find somewhere to play Warhammer but it feels like Guelph is the only city without any sort of scene. I know you could probably play at The Round Table, but they don't have a discord (as far as I can tell) to meet other players and set up games.

Is there somewhere else that I missed? Or do you have to travel out of town to play a game?

Curly cuts

Does anyone know a place in Guelph(or nearby) that knows how to cut curly hair and has experience with very curly hair? My friend has curly hair and I would like to find him someone who knows how to cut curls. He's got thick hair curls and coils, from what I'm looking up I'd say 3b? I'm not sure if that's correct but I'm trying lol. Basically looks like he's got a perm but it's natural. If anyone has any ideas of places he can go that'd be awesome!!

Unsolved/Missing cases

Hello everyone! I am looking to hear about any unsolved cases or missing persons cases that you would like to get more attention so that they can become solved! I am starting a youtube channel (not for profit) to get more Canadian content out there as well as more traction on cases that have gone unsolved. Someone somewhere always knows something and the first step is getting the word out there. Please feel free to share in the comments or you're more than welcome to message me directly :)
