Bambam posted topic Where to go for breakfast in Victoria - that is dog friendly
lpoutine,
Bambam has just posted a new topic entitled "Where to go for breakfast in Victoria - that is dog friendly" in forum "Food and Dining, Hotel and Hospitality Industry Discussions".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A slight update on the other thread re: 'where to go for breakfast in Victoria'.
We know about the Ogden Pt Cafe but just wondering if anyone can recommend based on personal experience a good reasonably priced breakfast place that accomodates man's best friend, and also has a decent selection of gluten-free items for Mrs Bambam. If I can since we'll be driving I'd like to avoid the dt core due to parking hassles but if you know of such a foodie place that checks all the boxes, is dt, and serves killer food, by all means rsvp. Thanks folks....

max.bravo posted topic Nightly Fuel/Asphalt Smell
lpoutine,
max.bravo has just posted a new topic entitled "Nightly Fuel/Asphalt Smell" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reddit has been inundated with posts about people smelling a diesel oil / asphalt / burnt tar smell at night for several weeks now.
One user surmises they've pinpointed the source to a paving company on store street, producing asphalt for the next days paving.
Anyone in town noticed the same smell? It seems people near quadra/finlayson are smelling it the worst.
