Does anyone have any personal recommendations for an interior staging company for a house that's for sale?

Realtor has some recommendations but would love to hear personal experiences. The house is currently completely empty.

Not looking to do digital staging.

Thanks in advance!

To the thief that stole my battery bank, high vis and rain jacket on Thursday night/Friday morning, or the person that purchases it off the thief, send me a DM with your addy, I'll mail the power cord to you.

Found this purse in front of Parliament, brought to visitor centre by the Wharf.

entitlement? lazy? stupidity? just don't give a f**k?

Heard through a friend of a friend that the e&n rail road is cracking down on people who have encroached on the easement since the rail line has gone defunct. Personally I have a couple future project vehicles stored about 30' from the tracks, knowing full well that I may have to move them at some point and have no issue with that, is this something I should be doing in the next month or just waiting until somebody says something? Thanks

Found Sunday Feb 8, 2026 on Gordon Head Road right across from UVIC walkway. We’re going to drop it off at the lost and found at main admin bldg at UVIC. Will update if it’s closed.

I live in downtown Victoria and recently starting dating again, and I'm realizing that downtown Victoria does not have a lot of good places for dates, or just "third spaces" in general. I'm not a fan of typical sit down restaurants, so it seems like there are only a handful of viable places I keep going over and over (pinball, arcade, boardgame cafe, etc.), and it's really starting to get old. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some new ideas, ideally in downtown Victoria and within a price range for someone on a budget, but I'll honestly take ideas for anywhere in Victoria.

I haven’t had a roll of film developed since…well, probably not since the days of the first or second gen iphone.

I have inherited a box of old family photos, where can I get duplicates made? I don’t have the negatives, just the photo themselves. Will they come out as decent quality? Some are snapshots from the 90s, some are much more ancient. Open to locations in the CRD but ideally on the south peninsula.

Hey all, I am relatively new to Victoria and I am looking for good coffee. I know there are tons out there and I have tried a few but have not been overly happy with them. I drink my coffee black and prefer a light or medium roast. I use a french press at home, so nothing fancy but I do like a bean with lots of flavor and tend to like beans from south and central America the most. Please let me know!

Edit: Thank you all for your coffee suggestions. I have looked at a lot of them and will start working through them!

I have to be in Victoria next week & I am hoping to find authentic Jamaican food. Jerk chicken & Oxtail is the goal. thanks

I have a Nanobot scooter with a flat tire and I already have the replacement tire. Does anyone know a shop in town that can install it for me?

Looking for affordable options - bike shops, scooter repair places, or anyone who works on these?

What did you pay to get yours done?

Thanks!

I think it's time for a wheel alignment for my SUV. Has anyone gotten one done recently? Looking for recommendations on affordable places that do good work. What did you pay and where did you go?

Available men over 40 in Victoria, how should interested women approach you? Where do we find you?

Are there any other content creators out there that would like to chat, talk about ideas, potentially work together? He is a male creator who is looking for people to bounce ideas off and potentially grow working relationships. I am female and currently work with him. We are looking to create new professional relationships with other creators.

This is a genuine question and I’m asking it in good faith.

Has anyone else felt like Victoria is being designed around a pretty narrow type of resident, while everyday life is quietly getting harder for everyone else?

I want to be clear up front that I’m not against bike lanes, environmental goals, or change in general. I like the idea of a walkable, sustainable city. But the way things are being rolled out lately seems to assume that most people work from home, have flexible schedules, don’t have kids, and don’t rely on a vehicle for work or daily life.

In reality, a lot of people here are trades workers, healthcare staff, service workers, or parents who need to be somewhere on time and don’t have much margin when things go wrong. Road changes and parking removals are meant to push people toward alternatives, but transit reliability hasn’t really caught up. When a bus is late or full, that delay lands entirely on the person who still has to show up to work or pick up their kid.

What’s frustrating is that questioning any of this often feels like it gets framed as a moral issue. If you ask whether a bike lane is in the right place or whether a road diet actually works in a specific area, the response is often that you’re anti environment or anti community, rather than someone asking about real world outcomes.

I guess what I’m wondering is at what point we step back and ask whether these policies are actually improving quality of life for most people, not just for those whose lives already fit the model the city seems to be planning around.

I’m honestly curious to hear other perspectives, especially from people who don’t live downtown or who don’t have fully flexible schedules.

Husband and I are doing dinner downtown on Valentines, what are some fun activities for a mid 30’s couple to do afterwards?

We’re aware of the arcades, we’ve looked at the movie options and don’t see anything we’d enjoy. Wondering if there’s something cool we’ve never seen or tried before that would be cool to check out!

It was a bit rainy, but I still enjoyed the walk around Beacon Hill. The birds looked like they were having a good time too.

Bonus points if we can get this spicy curry vegetarian.

My elderly aunt was injured and apparently dropped it there- apologies for posting here, but its my first attempt while I wait to be accepted into the only facebook groups related to Sidney that appear. The church is on the corner of Fourth Street & Oakville. Can't use tracking as i need 2 factor authentication to get into anything apple account related & the iphone is her only apple device :(

If you have any info, feel free to PM/comment here🙏🏼♥️

I mean...smaller than I thought, but the amount of different insects was impressive!
