I was doing my laundry at the laundromat on Southdown. It is a very good laundromat that's clean and well run. But, I had this old man making extremely sexual and gross comments to me. I tried mentioning I am married and he said so what I'm married too. Then he told me how he met his wife and I was not prepared for that 🤮.(Its so much worse then you could even think) The owners son law told him to stop harassing me thankfully.

I'm not complaining about the laundromat it is well run and clean and the owners did step in and help. But I just needed to vent because that old man left me feeling gross and icky.

Anyone know where to get 50 nic or 5% pods? I just moved to port from Mississauga where they were everywhere but no luck here😂

Now that Longo's has been open for almost a month (and hopefully worked out the new store kinks) what impressions and reviews do you guys have?

What are some items that are unique to the store?

What things are decent value and what is hella expensive?

Hi there just moved to Welland and wondering if there is a group or people that would like to meet up for a social time and knit/crochet or other crafts? I would be willing to meet up in Port Colborne as well. Thanks

Hello, anywhere I can rent some golf clubs? A friend invited me to the range and i have golfed a few times before I just dont have my own set due to limited space at my apartment. Was wondering if I can rent golf clubs for a day from somewhere?

Thanks!

Hey Wellanders, just walked my dog downtown welland and wow. I decided to walk down the canal path near mcdonalds heading toward the amphitheater, and yeah, it was very disappointing. The number of questionable people down there was pretty insane. Once I got to the amphitheater, I observed 2 females smoked meth(they stopped when I approached) and about 100 feet down the path 6 males all high. One was completely head in the pavement toasted. I kind of had a reality check of how bad welland has gotten. I kind of sluffed it off until I saw nice families walking with their kids. And said yeah thats not ideal. I know niagara has said there is a zero open air drug use policy in effect, but that won't stop them. Its very sad to see the town I grew up in fall deeper and deeper into the abyss.there should be a mandatory detox for anyone who is openly using, jail helps but a detox center and re education would be ideal. Alot of broken soul out there unfortunately.

Hi all! First time posting - im hoping this falls within the rules of the group!

Id love to make an informed decision when voting this year. It's not my first time, but in previous years I've found minimal information on the candidates through online resources and tried to make my decisions based on as much info as I could gather at the time.

Im wondering if anyone knows where I can find non-biased information on some of the candidates in the upcoming election? The city's website seems to be a bit lackluster last time I looked, mostly just contact info and names of who is running. Am I missing something there? Is there something on the site im not seeing or perhaps somewhere i need to dig further into? Im hoping to find something that showcases what each candidate stands for/wants to do for our community. I just want to look at each candidate objectively from all non-biased angles to ensure im making the right choice. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction? Or is it too early to find this info still?

TIA!(:

Other than people at 4 way stops going before their turn, what other traffic situations do you find frustrating?

I noticed driving east on thorold rd. just east of niagara st. drivers coming out of the mini mall on your right, turning left, can't figure out their timing.

I had to either slow down a lot and even have come to a complete stop not to collide with them!

Don't get it?

Wild fire smoke from up north is hitting Welland today. Feels kind of like an eclipse

Does anyone know why or for how long Stacked by the mall is closed? I googled but can’t find an answer. My parents tried to go today and said they were ripping out the interior.

Thanks!

Won't have a car for a bit and have pets with chronic health issues. Are there any cab companies around here that will reliably take pets onboard? TIA!

First I want to preface this by saying I emphasize with homeless people and the challenges they face.

I was recently at an event at Merritt Park on King St. What I witnessed was truly deplorable. The drug paraphernalia was the worst i have ever seen. Used needles, pipes, baggies everywhere. I was chatting with a city parks employee who said that the users have taken to dropping their used syringes off of the floating stage. So beware if you swim there.

But this was not the worst part, human fece’s on the lawn in front of the floating stage. Yes fece’s, again confirmed by city parks workers.

This used to be a good area to go for a walk, a picnic or to let the kids swim. Certainly not any longer, it’s time that society as a whole steps up, petition our governing bodies to do more to “HELP” the homeless and drug addicted members of our society.

This has been pushed under the rug for far too long and is now becoming a huge issue for everyone.

Rant over people….

Is the Esso on Thorold Road finally closed? Went by earlier all the lights were off, pylons blocking the entrances, and the gas price sign was turned off. Hopefully.

Recently moved to Welland looking for recommendations for good massage therapists that direct Bill

Hi All, i went to the vet to get flea and tick for my dog and its too expensive there, i checked with costco and its significantly cheaper for me to get it from there but they need a prescription from my vet and my vet charges $100 just to write the prescription for Simparica trio. Any way to get a cheaper prescription written by a vet??

Thanks!

Pregnant and expecting in 2027, any recommendations for daycares that can take infants?
Ive been searching and have emailed a few but wondering about peoples personal experiences around the area. Not opposed to driving 10-20min either if we have too.

Hi,

I wasn’t sure what school my child was going to be attending and so was far too late on the before and after care list ☹️. Waitlist goes back to 2019 they told me.

What are the childcare options for school aged kids around here?

We’re on subsidy for daycare at the moment.

I quickly drove by the intersection of East Main and Crowland this afternoon and noticed a smaller group protesting something, but I wasn't able to register their signs or what it was. Any ideas what's going on today?

It's been about 2 weeks since I last tried going to Merritt Island, anyone know if vehicle traffic still closed for construction?
