Dory 2,905 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Well since this post has been going on for a couple years now I might as well chime in. I'm up in northern Alberta near Grande Prairie. I didn't realize this place had so many Albertans in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NASDAQ 1,778 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Vancouver proper, on the west side. I'm one of the those annoying Vancouver people who never goes to Surrey or further without becoming insanely lost, driving round in huge circles going, gosh, look how _big_ it is.

Storm Bay 348 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Vancouver proper, on the west side. I'm one of the those annoying Vancouver people who never goes to Surrey or further without becoming insanely lost, driving round in huge circles going, gosh, look how _big_ it is. :lol: I have no idea how to get around Surrey, etc, either, although I no longer live in Vancouver. Of course, I never think of saying Vancouver proper, because I never think of calling anything Vancouver except the actual city. I grew up a ferry ride away from the lower mainland, but don't say where as it's TMI given other things I've shared on the forum. It's a lovely city, but housing costs have skyrocketed there since I left. Welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live in what could plausibly be a crack shack, and theoretically we could sell and buy ourselves a couple of very non-cracky houses in a reasonable, non LM property market. And maybe a pony to go with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I seem to remember a woman named Theresa who lived in Almonte - she was a homeschooler, I think, and sold dance items through a catalog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wintermom 19,229 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Central Alberta, near the foothills of the Rockies. Ok, this would be my second retirement home! I was born in Calgary and LOVE the Rockies. :001_smile: I also wouldn't mind the $ for homeschooling in AB - though I'd hopefully be done with homeschooling when I retire since homeschooling IS my job (I'm foggy brained today).

Storm Bay 348 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey, I used to live somewhat near Nepean! We lived near downtown Ottawa, off Wellington St. During my time in Ottawa, I was near downtown, too, relatively. I'd walk downtown, but it was a ways (can't remember how many blocks. It was quite an eyeopener to me as I mainly grew up in Lotus Land (aka southwestern BC) & went to university in BC. My dad did take 3 sabbaticals, though, so I also live in CA & Europe.

liber 1,052 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I lived near Greenbank and Baseline. I admit I rarely ever ventured into Ottawa, and don't know my way around what-so-ever. I lived near Baseline Rd in 1985/86. Went to sir john a macdonald high school for the last half of grade 10. I was absolutely miserable there as I had just moved from a little town in NS and was homesick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianAlison+3boys 89 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 First time seeing this thread but I thought I should check in too!
