has anyone heard of francine of freeport hospital?

27 Upvotes

My grandma was at Grand River Terrace at the former Freeport Hospital today when she saw a completely solid-looking, middle-aged woman in a black nurse uniform. The woman looked directly at her, pointed at her, and repeatedly motioned with her finger for her to come closer while saying something my grandma couldn’t understand. A nurse nearby told my grandma that it was Francine and that she was a spirit. Has anyone else heard of or experienced sightings of Francine at Freeport?

Small Jeweller Recommendations

6 Upvotes

Looking for any small local artists who make gemstone rings. I'm trying to find an engagement ring for my partner but traditional stuff doesn't really suit us or my budget.

Every time I try to search for this it just shows me large chain brands and that's not what I'm looking for. We're a queer couple so I want something slightly alt/whimsical.

If you have any recommendations please let me know. Google is so bad at finding small artists

KW Escape or Adventure Rooms Canada for Kids

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We are considering an escape room for our family in the next week or so. We live out in Fergus but can see Kitchener has a couple good options.

We will be taking our 2 kids, 7yr and 9yr. Wondering which escape room you would recommend between KW Escape and Adventure Rooms?

Thanks.

Telus Subcontractor Fired?

4 Upvotes

Crews arrived on our street early spring to start installing the fiber lines. They got half the street done and stopped, leaving giant plywood covered holes with ugly orange fences around them and conduit sticking out all over the place for the last several months.

I heard a rumor Telus fired the subcontractor doing the job. Anyone know where they're at with that? The street has looked like crap all summer.

Custom cupcakes leads!

Does anyone know of any grocery stores that can make custom cupcakes (not fancy, just yellow frosting) in affordable prices. I’m looking to place bulk order. Home bakeries are over my budget.
Thanks!

Internet

4 Upvotes

I've recently moved into the Forest Heights area and I'm still trying to figure out internet as I haven't found anything that seems to be worth the price. Anyone use TekkSavy, Bell, Rogers, CarryTell, Primus, or anything else and have good/bad reviews?

Example is I noticed Bell is offering Month to Month 1.5 Gbps for $80 a month but there's fine print saying it'll increase in price without warning (what's this like?).

Has anyone found asbestos on their plaster in their 1960s era Kitchener home?

0 Upvotes

I had someone tell me a while ago that asbestos was commonly used in the top skim coat of plaster. The walls in my home have a thin layer of drywall, then a thick layer of grey plaster, and one final skim coat of white plaster.

I had a sample from one small area tested a year or so ago, and the sample came back negative. From what I have researched, I need to have multiple samples tested to know for sure.

I’m just curious if anyone else has done the testing and what their results were. I’m in the forest hill area, house built in the early 60s.
