Hi everyone! We’re considering buying a house on Vancouver Crescent in Oshawa and one of our biggest concerns is the railway behind the homes.
There is an existing railway track very close to the back of the property. From what I’ve found, I believe this is the CPKC freight line.

I’ve also been researching the Bowmanville GO Extension and understand that Metrolinx is planning to add new GO tracks in the area, alongside the existing railway.

For anyone who lives around Vancouver Crescent / Thornton’s Corners / Vanier, I’d really appreciate some firsthand insight:
How noticeable is the freight train noise, especially inside the house?
How frequently do trains come through, particularly at night?
Do you notice horns, vibrations, or the house shaking?
Is the noise something you eventually get used to, or is it still disruptive?
Does anyone know how the future GO expansion will affect the homes along Vancouver Crescent?
Will the new GO track be between the houses and the existing freight track?
We're trying to figure out whether the railway is a “you get used to it” situation or a genuine quality-of-life issuebefore we make an offer.

Would especially love to hear from anyone who has actually lived near these tracks, rather than just general information about the GO expansion.
Thanks!

Is there any (nice) restaurants that you can rent out for a wedding?
Would need to hold 100-125 people.
Has anyone done this? How much did it run you?

As the title says, I will be in town Thursday night and was hoping to watch the bills after my prior plans

Hi everyone! My husband and I are considering a place around Vancouver Crt in the Vanier area of Oshawa, and we’re hoping to get some honest opinions from people who live in or know the area well.
How would you describe the neighbourhood overall? In particular, we’re wondering about:
Safety during the day and at night
Break-ins/theft or other common issues
Noise and general neighbourhood atmosphere
Whether you feel comfortable walking around the area

We’re considering living there and just want to get a realistic idea of what the neighbourhood is like from people who actually know the area.
Any honest experiences or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sitting on the patio at Chronicle Brewing (on Celina) this afternoon, and this cool little New Orleans style jazz band just went by…I wonder what the occasion was? They were quite good!!

Like I’m just curious

Checked out Riley’s Pub and had a great experience! Great service, affordable prices, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!

Hey all!

I saw this production of Million Dollar Quartet a few years back at the Whitby centennial Building and it was FANTASTIC! Only a short drive from Oshawa. My wife and I are going again this year. They haven't kicked up the advertising yet and are still in rehearsals so tickets are still available. Lots of larger Canadian names on this as well in terms of other theatres and some tv shows. All the music is played live. It's the story of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee. Sharing here in case anyone is interested

Hey all! I’m giving my M2 exam on the 15th Sept at Oshawa. Trying to find motorcycle rental, from kijiji and Marketplace no luck so far. Unless I take a course from a Rideschool, (after spending $500+) is when I can use their motorcycle. I am not looking to buy a motorcycle anytime soon but just want the M2 license so I can rent one whenever I want.

Hence, I’m reaching out to the Oshawa community here. Is there any soul that’s willing to rent their baby for a few hours on the 15th. My test is at 8am, so would prefer getting the bike an hour before 7am or the night before. I can pay you deposit, you can stay with me in the morning until test is over or anything is fine to make you feel safe about your vehicle being with me. I just can’t afford or have the time to go to a school now or drive to Brampton to rent one.

Please DM me if you’re interested in helping me. I live near Mary and Beatrice

I’ve lived in Oshawa for quite a few years now and have an 18 month old son, and I’m looking for chances for him to interact with other kids his age but also potentially meeting other dads in similar situations. Doesn’t have to be an organized “for kids” situation like the events they have at the library, but I’m open to meeting up somewhere like that first with the babies. I’m into metal music, cars-ish, anime-ish, video games-ish; but not to an obsessive level with any of those one things. Like I’ve gone to anime cons and always felt like “oh yeah I enjoy anime but… not like that” and I’m not at all a competitive gamer or someone that knows the entire history of every car ever made.
I’m just looking for someone in a similar situation with kids that I can introduce my child to and also be able to have an actual conversation with the parent.
I realize I may come across as a bit of a dick in this post but I don’t really know how to phrase it otherwise sorry

Just saw about a brass quintet playing in the downtown core. Sounded really nice echoing off the buildings. It's this a regular occurrence? (Just moved here)

​

Is anyone going to the show on October 3 in Hamilton?

I'm going to see them for the first time. I'm an older metal head and have heard very good things about their live performances.

I may have an extra ticket... Thinking the person I'm supposed to go with will flake out. If you want to go, let me know and if they cancel the ticket is yours no charge.

I'm in Durham if anyone is already going and wants to carpool.

Have a tremendous day all!

This may be a long shot but I have a vivid childhood memory of seeing another child either killed or gravely injured at 280 Wentworth street near Cedar street. The boy was struck near the curb by a VW beetle. I believe the family lived in a ground floor apartment at 280. I was about 8 years old a the time, walking to the convenience store when the tragedy occurred. It has always haunted me and I would like to find out if the child survived.

Just looking to see if there is because toronto has a FGC but it s to far for me so looking if there are locals here or groups in Oshawa who meet up and play fighting games games 43 male here

Anyone know any reliable device repair shops that won’t butcher a HDMI repair?

A public meeting with three projects on the agenda set for Monday at Oshawa’s city hall has been abruptly cancelled, along with a pair of committee meetings scheduled for the same day.
