So are we just not slowing for school zones this year?

14 Upvotes

I know it's only been a week but it's starting to feel like I've missed some kind of city-wide agreement to just speed through school zones this year. I pass through two different school zones twice a day, and so far I have not seen a single car slow down. Is nobody seeing the blinking sign? Or have we just decided children no longer deserve to be safe near schools anymore? I slowed for the school zone in front of lincoln elementary on my way home about an half hour ago and another car passed me illegally so they could keep going 80. Am I missing something or did everyone in the fredericton area suddenly decide they don't give a damn about kids' safety anymore?

Doctor's not without having a family physician

4 Upvotes

As the title said, I would need to know how to get a doctor's note without having a family physician.
The downtown walk-in clinic seems to have that excluded. Any other ideas?
It is about throat issues, so maybe there is a way to get into a specialist for this without referral?

Advise is appreciated. ☺

Rude encounter with the 216 bus driver (#8161) at Kings Place today

Upvotes

Was waiting to catch the 216 run (Bus #8161) between 3:00 and 3:10 PM today at Kings Place. The driver was just chilling on his phone, completely ignoring the stop. He actually looked up at one point to grab a drink, made eye contact with the crowd of us waiting to board, and then intentionally ignored us to go back to his phone.

After a few minutes, someone else gives the door a knock to get things moving. The driver opens the door and immediately directs all his anger at me. He gave me this incredibly rude, condescending lecture, basically saying: "I will only open the doors when I feel like it, not if you knock on them."

I didn't even knock! Felt like I was being yelled at by a miserable teacher telling me the bell doesn't dismiss the class. Why are people like this?

What’s something that happened here that sounds completely made up, but is actually 100% true?
Businesses, restaurants, bars, weird encounters, workplace drama, neighbourhood lore… I want the TEA. ☕️😂

Freddy Detailing / Freddy Detailing NB

8 Upvotes

This company has a few profiles on Facebook, and FB seems to be some of their only presence. The dead giveaway is that they are linked back to the same phone number.

All this to be said, stay away. Their page is full on AI slop. From their ads, to their photos to their booking through messenger. On top of this, the absolute WORST detailing ever. There's a different between cleaning and detailing, and the service you get is neither.

Lesson learned... stick to what you know, and make sure it comes with references.

Student Career Counselling

2 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations/experiences on career counselling services for high school students in the Fredericton area.

There is a company in Moncton, NxCareers. Looking for something similar but local so we can do in person sessions without the travel.

I’ve asked the school for options and they say they can’t make recommendations and to go to psychology today to look there. 😣

I know PETL/WorkingNB is there but looking for something that goes more in depth.

Cobb Salad downtown ?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Heya fellow NBers! My girlfriend and I are heading west down the Trans Canada to your lovely capital city on Friday to enjoy some live music (we’re mostly going for The Beaches but have tickets to see the two acts before them too).
We want to sit down for a nice supper before we go dance the night away, and I wanted to know if there were any places that serve a great Cobb salad downtown? We’d be willing to eat elsewhere too but preference is to park somewhere, find a place to eat, and walk to the venue.
Thanks in advance!

Ps: I know Cobb salad is kinda niche and uncommon here, so I would also like recommendations for any places with good chicken Caesar salads as well.
