There are many things you can do for free in Ottawa this spring, including exploring the tulips, visiting museums and free activities for kids. CTVNewsOttawa.ca looks at 10 things you can do for free in Ottawa this

Was there someone there to count the number of claps?

More like: "If the shit of America goes down (the toilet), Tesla will go with it."

He seems like a promising candidate for any aspiring L.M. copycats out there to consider...

They sure went out of their way to not say "Ottawa"

Spring Ride (self.perth_ontario)
 

Hello Perthlings! Been a few years since I visited your town, though enjoyed my time there, mainly walking around the core. I'll likely be riding through in the coming weeks, and wondering what y'all recommend doing or what may have changed in the past 5 years? Including my post over at the Smith Falls community for your reference - https://lemmy.ca/post/42190463. Cheers!

Spring Ride (self.smiths_falls_ontario)
 

Greetings Smith Falls folks! (Smith Fallonites? Fallonians?) Guess I get the honour of being the first to post on your community. :) I've been through a couple times in the past few months, mainly to stop in for Chinese food, and a few years back I happened upon a geek memorabilia store. That all said, I'll likely be passing through in the coming weeks and wonder what y'all recommend exploring. I like knick-knacks, movies (and yes, I've been to Port Elmsley before), games (card and board), and of course food. Cheers!

Yes, I've had a few comfortable rides from Bayview to the south, including one to the EY Centre.

From where I am at, It's a 30 mins walk to Bank St., and a 45 mins walk to the other shopping areas on Walkley and Blossom Park. A few convenience stores are nearby for 10 mins walk. I used to walk quite a bit (20-30kms a day) so my perspective of a short walk may be skewed. However, I tried to make my recent walks functional: get out for a nice walk but with a destination (like groceries) as the end goal.

But that's where I am from. If you lived on the closest edge of Greenboro, the nearest stores on Bank would be 10 mins away.at the furthest edge, would be close to an hour.

¡Hola! I would definitely recommend Greenboro (south east end) for the sheer number of walking trails throughout the neighbourhood, as well as being in between South Keys and Walkley for shopping options. :) The number of transit options are limited (to a few buses), but we do have access to the updated O-Train that now runs south as well.

As you say, the update came in earlier. https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/1jsuvbc/east_block_update_one_man_arrested_ottawapoliceca/

That all said, there was other craziness happening around the city last night and earlier today. :-(

 

Boosting this for awareness as I don't see much of it on the other SM forums I am on.

Ooo, maybe they'll release a figurine of "God", St. John Talbot or that cat dancer for wave 3! :-P

Now that I think about it, they'll probably release sand dune dancing Uhura or Marsh Mellon camping Spock.
