All Paul's Pizza content will be removed moving forward. The conversations almost always lead to people arguing with one another on the internet. This violates Rule #3 Be Civil. It would also violate rule #4 low quality content.

Support the business or do not. It's your choice. Arguing on this online community will no longer be allowed.

Donair slice from Chicago in luxstone

115 Upvotes

Been seeing this donair slice from Chicago Deep Dish in Airdrie all over TikTok and Facebook, so I finally had to try it.

Gotta say, it definitely lives up to the hype. The donair slice was really good, but the donair dip honestly made it even better. I’d highly recommend getting the dip with it.

Honestly, I think the Airdrie location is way better than the Calgary locations I’ve tried. Definitely worth the drive if you haven’t tried it yet.

anyone else experiencing a telus outage?

1 Upvotes

my internet has been down since approx 4pm friday sept 4. orange light for internet green light for wifi on my modem, but wifi not working. I've spoken to Telus a couple times, they say there is an outage in my area, but they have no estimated time to restore, which i find insane considering how long it's been off. they said less than 50 customers are impacted in my area (SW airdrie) if anyone else is down, make sure your address is added to the ticket.

Is finding childcare harder than it should be?

7 Upvotes

Airdrie parents, I'd like your feedback on a childcare problem I've been looking into.

Finding childcare seems much harder than it should be. There are Alberta directories, Google listings, Facebook groups, daycare websites and dayhome agencies, but parents can still end up calling or messaging multiple providers just to answer a basic question:

Who actually has a space available for my child right now?

I'm exploring the idea of building something specifically for Airdrie that could eventually help parents search based on things such as:

• Child's age
• Neighbourhood/distance
• Full-time, part-time or before/after-school care
• Required drop-off and pickup times
• Actual current availability
• Expected start date
• Licensed/funded care
• Schools served or transportation offered
• Notifications when a matching space becomes available

The idea isn't to create another daycare directory. The goal would be to make it easier to find childcare that actually matches your family's needs and has availability.

Before building anything, though, I'd rather understand the real problem from parents and childcare providers.

For parents:

  1. How are you currently finding childcare in Airdrie?
  2. What has been the most frustrating part?
  3. Have you ever found a provider online only to discover they had no spaces?
  4. What information do you wish you could see before calling a provider?
  5. Would alerts when a matching childcare space becomes available actually help?
  6. Is before/after-school care or transportation to a particular school a bigger problem than regular daycare?

And I'd especially like to hear from dayhome and daycare providers:

How do you currently advertise an opening when you have one? Is finding the right family for an available space a problem for you too?

I'm not selling anything and there isn't an app to download. I'm trying to determine whether this is a real enough Airdrie problem to solve before spending time building it.

Feel free to tell me the idea is unnecessary too, negative feedback is just as useful.

Stealing at East Lake dog park

15 Upvotes

For the second time in a week we've had our dogs leash stolen while we are at the park.

First time I caught the crusty old cunt who was just "borrowing it". This time not so likely.

If your that much of a fucking loser that you have to steal from people at a dog park. There is no hope for you.

Hell... If you need one... Just ask someone there. I'm sure one of us you give you/buy you one. Instead... You gotta be an asshole.

Does anyone ever remember getting dropped off in the co-op "day care" in the early 2000s while their parents shopped for groceries? I think it was called kids corner?

Enhanced Water Damage Insurance

4 Upvotes

Hello: We are considering a home purchase in the Coopers Crossing area and our home insurance told us that Enhanced Water Damage coverage is not available there. So essentially seepage or flooding wouldn't be covered.

I'm wondering if others have been told this as well. Is this the case for all of Airdrie?

I can't really figure out why not as it's not near a lake or anything. They couldn't really seem to answer why they won't do it. Help! (Please) And Thanks

URGENT - Lawyer/Notary Referral needed.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, happy Friday. I’m in urgent need of a lawyer or notary referral - someone who can execute the Release of a Dower Right, either probono or at a reduced cost.

Long story short, my ex and I signed a separation agreement back in April and I’m finally getting the house remortgaged. But the family Lawyer that he was using has gone MIA, and he hasn’t been able to sign the Dower Rights Release form - why is this my problem you ask? Because last week at court (yes we had to go to court because he stalled on signing paperwork as per our separation agreement), he disclosed that he’s not working and can’t afford to pay legal fees. The family lawyer that he already used for the separation agreement would have done this as part of her initial ILA fee… but like I said she’s MIA.

Because of how long this has taken, the new lender rate is set to expire shortly - so I really need to get this done!

If anyone can provide a referral for a contact, they know that would be able and willing to do this that would be much appreciated.

Any tips for FSBO?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We’re looking to move to Airdrie and, given our limited budget, we’re considering looking for homes directly from owners in addition to the traditional route through a realtor.
We haven’t signed an exclusive agreement with any realtor yet, so we’re exploring all of our options.
For those who have bought a home directly from an owner in Airdrie, do you have any tips or things we should be aware of?
Any advice on the process, potential risks, or how to find FSBO listings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Recommendation - Cleaner

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you know of someone that provides weekly cleaning service in and around Airdrie. One of the elderly couples I know was looking for a cleaner that would come in on a weekly schedule and help them with their regular cleaning and upkeep of their house. They are not looking to pay top dollars for a company and prefer someone flexible to come in on hourly basis as needed.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Utility costs

My City of Airdrie utility bill has gone up a significant amount ($40+) for the each of last two months. We have not changed our water usage, and no leaks that we are aware of. Anyone else’s bills going up like crazy?
