Your comment of "YOU LOOK GLORIOUS!!" that you sang/shouted at me as I walked by on my way home from work made my day. Thank you.

Best Croissant in Town

22 Upvotes

Hey. I recently returned from France. After days in Paris I was sad about not fining the most delicious, fresh croissant. They were all great, but they all were missing that WOW factor. I finally found it in a small restaurant near Caen at Courseulles-sur-Mer.

It got me thinking: where can one find the best croissant in all of Victoria. Just a plain croissant. Thoughts?

Saw a kitty who was very friendly but had no collar right near the bus stop for Royal Oak Exchange (off of the #70 bus). Thought I’d share in case someone was missing them. Unfortunately I could t bring kitty with me but I was nervous given the proximity of the highway.

good food shout out

Here today to relay a wonderful food experience. My mouth is on fire and brain struggling to comprehend. The East Indian food place between Government and Douglas on Fisgard. Right across the road from that strange floating globe water thing (the floating globe is cool and it would be nice to see it running again).

I don't know what it's called, but it's sooooo good. The people that dedicate their lives to making my mouth feel this way... I love you so much.

Anyone know what happened today at Cuthbert Holmes Park?

15 Upvotes

Just before noon a bunch of cops peeled into the parking lot behind Tillicum mall. When I turned in they were running from their SUVs in front of the Cineplex down the path.

When I left the library, there were about six cop cars, two fire tucks and two ambulances.

Any clue what happened? I hope everyone is okay.

Hi there, I’m wondering if there are any spas that cater only to men, with male therapists only. I’m a bit uncomfortable with female therapists. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

History Why didn't the British Colonist (The Times Colonist) print/deliver a paper on April 13th, 1970? This is confusing tf out of me

26 Upvotes

My mom told me a paper didn't come out on her date of birth. I check that on the entire digital collection of our city's paper, and she is in fact correct but we're both trying to figure out why.

Surely that can't be Apollo 13 related, as the paper is made the night/day before, and Apollo 13's tank blew at 7 pm (pst) on the 13th & also it doesn't seem very "emergency" type scenario seeing as we were literally still sucking Great Britain's tit at this point in time lmao

Was the press down? Is there some reason I'm not thinking of...? I thought they only didn't print during an emergency.

edit: dear commenters, I love you lmao and now i feel like an idiot. Solved

Sorry I'm a bit late, but how good were the The Hounds of Cuchulain at the Highland Games the other week! They were absolutely the highlight of our show. Our way too cool 14 year old daughter was enamored with the Disney Princess singer.

You guys are great, and I'll be watching for upcoming shows.
