r/burnaby

has anyone heard the thunderstorm or was i hallucinating????

Tried to do our weekly "chore" run yesterday around 7pm and it was a total disaster. The lot was 100% jammed and vehicles on Still Creek waiting to their turn to get into the the lot. We pivoted to Brighton thinking it might be better. Nope, same story.

I know it’s Mother’s Day weekend, but I haven't seen it this chaotic in a long time.

Save yourselves the headache and avoid Costco if you're driving or arrive around 9 AM.

Anyone know what happened in North Burnaby? Was driving southbound and got passed by 3 ambulances, 2 police cars and 2 fire trucks that were hustlin

So many cars still turn on red at this intersection. Either they are just ignorant or noob drivers.

I moved into my apartment building about 8 months ago in the Gilmore area there’s been consistent problem with litter/food waste in the same spot outside our building. It’s mainly the same fruit wrappers, Starbucks cups and other crap coming from a balcony or someone’s window.

Strata are aware which unit this is as are a bunch of residents but nothing has ever been done about it as there’s no concrete evidence. Luckily for me, that unit is above mine…

Anyway, on Saturday about 3am some sort of food fat started dripping through our bedroom window and woke us up. We thought it was rain or something at first. It was vile, stunk and has stained our blinds and made a mess.

Their bedroom window is directly above our window. The above apartment exterior windowsill (below their window) is stained with a direct track to ours and the unit above theirs is untouched.

I’ve reported to strata and feel like it’s going to just get brushed off again, but we’ll see. The unit above said “they were spraying a huge swarm of wasps at 1am with Raid” …

Is strata the end of the line with dealing with situations like this? It seems crazy that this has actually been a problem for a couple of years with the same unit but nothing has happened.

Not sure why I’m taking to Reddit but I feel like I need to vent. It’s absolutely disgusting that they’re getting away with this.

I'm trying to find good pizza in South Burnaby, near New Westminster. Friends claim that "Me and Ed's" near Kingsway and Edmonds is the closest. Trying to avoid the chains (Fresh Slice, Pizza Pizza, Little Caesars, Pizza Garden...).

Suggestions?

I live in the garden village area, today there has been a black jetta (very dirty, license plate has been written down) going outside houses, writing down license plates and home addresses, the individual claims to be "surveilling the area" and sped off after being questioned.

The police is going to investigate and theres an open file. If you see this, please call non emergency.

The individual was witnessed writing down info and was then approached and asked what he was doing. His answer was the mentioned "Im doing surveillance"
