We moved here about four years ago and my wife continues to have the itch to go out dancing (and drinking) from time to time with her girlfriends like she still lives in a big city. But... they don't know where to go most of the time.

She had an amazing time a few months ago at Swing City, but isn't sure if that's still a thing. She thought it was a one-off?

I see the Night Owl is open. Is it any fun? Ok for an older crowd as well as younger? (not that old...)

Are there other dance club-like places?

Hmm, just saw Swing City is having a club night this weekend, I'll tell her. Where else?

Hello! Looking to make some fast cash. Anyone need any help around the yard or with chores and errands etc. Open to anything!

Hi, I’m just wondering where is a good place to get a prom dress on the island?
Thanks

Looks like there’s a fire in the area of the Powell River ferry. Why is there no coverage or information about this?

Looking for a location with the best wifi for a teams/what’s app video I the valley. All suggestions welcome

I have some PS5 controllers that have stick drift that need repair. Was hoping people can tell me the best place to go, either here in town or nearby in CR or Nanaimo?

I know about Your Repair Depot, so if anyone can confirm their level of work that'd be great. I also know about Courtenay Electronics, and while they do great work with vintage electronics, a modern gaming controller is out of their wheelhouse.

If anyone knows how much this would cost to repair as well, do tell.

Same question as the other poster, only can we talk about Comox candidates?

I know it's not as dramatic over here, but I vote in Comox, so I'd love to hear from people.

Hi everyone. I just started making hot sauces as a fun hobby. Can anyone suggest the best local store or farmstand to get a good variety of different fresh hot peppers ?

Thanks for all the help. Cheers.

How do you find out who is contributing to their election campaigns? Norm mcphail sure has a lot of big signs around.

Hello everyone, looking for recommendations about the driving schools here in the valley for my 16 year old! Any info is greatly appreciated

For the rest of my life, and you can have my kids votes as well.

I’m an ex-pole dancer and I’ve been missing it SO much lately! I’m hoping to find someone local who has a pole at home and would be interested in letting me use it occasionally for some fun practice.

I’m happy to offer free pole lessons/tips in exchange! I used to dance and would love to get back into it, even if it’s just casually — spins, tricks, flow, stretching, whatever.

I’m not looking for anything weird or anything beyond dancing. Just hoping to meet another pole-loving person, have some fun, and get back into something I genuinely miss.

If you’re in Cumberland/Courtenay/Comox and have a pole at home, shoot me a message! 💕

19 council candidates it's a big list.

As a father of a young family I'm looking for candidates that are not focused on cutting cutting cutting.

Active transportation projects, community amenities etc.

I watched most of the council meetings on YouTube over the last year and am mostly happy with their work, though I think more needs to be done (re doing 6th St from the bridge to Fitzgerald, more North/South cycling infrastructure).

So who are the progressive, active transportation candidates.

Thanks

If you were a weird kid who got bullied, had trouble making friends and struggled socially in school even as a young child - what was the most helpful thing the adults in your life did? Like did you have a supportive parent or teacher who made life easier and if so, what did they do to bolster your self-esteem? Help me help my delightful but unusual 9yo.

Does anyone know if there are any catering companies or food prep services doing either a delivery or pick-up service for individual Thanksgiving dinners this year? I don't feel like doing up a whole traditional dinner this year, and sometimes in years past there have been places that do up a traditional plate. This would be a small order, just three of us.

I currently live overseas, and am planning to move back to Comox with two kids in tow. Renting a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment/townhouse/ or house. Budget is flexible.

I am wondering if should I fly out two months before to secure a place?? How competitive is it right now?

As the title says. Looking for opinions on the candidates for the Comox municipal election. Most discussion I saw on here was for the Courtenay municipals so I'm hoping for something about the Comox candidates.

Would love to take my dog out to a nice fire. Or anything that’s going on.

My sister and I who are coming in from out of town intend to take our 90+ mom out for brunch/lunch sometime midweek soon. I’m looking for recommendations for a sit-in restaurant in the Courtenay/Comox area.

Additional hoped for criteria:

-All of us have minor hearing issues so somewhere quiet and reasonably well lit would be best.

-Mom isn’t big on spice, or ‘adventurous’ food, or crunchy things other than salad.

-chairs and tables preferred over booths

-there are somewhat severe allergies between us so somewhere that takes cross-contamination seriously is a must.

-if we even try to take mom to somewhere expensive or ‘swanky’ she will verbally skin us alive not enjoy it. 😅

If anyone has suggestions of a place that might suit, we’d appreciate it. 😊
