Calgary Q&A

I've been having issues with PC Express for the third week in a row. My groceries are coming at any time instead of within the window I was given. I've called the store and they keep saying our groceries are coming next, but they're having software issues. I'm starting to wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

I've been using the Dalhousie station shelter, and the heaters haven't been working since the beginning of the year. It's getting cold, and I'm worried about people sleeping there.

I was planning on carving and tossing a pumpkin for Halloween, but then I saw that the city's compost schedule is changing to biweekly pickups after November 2. I'm not sure why they're doing this right after Halloween, when I'm sure a lot of people have pumpkins to throw away.

I'm desperately seeking help with someone who is well versed in dog separation anxiety. I've tried a couple of trainers but to no avail. If I could be pointed in the right direction, I'd be thankful.

I was walking down the stairs at Sunalta station and found two debit cards. They expire in '29 and '31. Will probably destroy them unless there's a better idea?

I was parking in a grocery store in SE Calgary and someone got upset with me because I was parked a bit too close to the line. They spat on my car and I'm just appalled. I'm wondering if there's any way to report this incident or get compensation for the damage. I've got the license plate number of the person who did it.

I've been thinking about my favorite pizza joint from the late 90s/early 2000s, Wicked Wedge, which was located on 17th Avenue. I remember it being super busy and loved their pizza. I think they sold to a new owner shortly after I moved away and they didn't last long after. Anyone know who the original owner was and why the new owners couldn't keep a gold mine going?

My Kenmore washer has recently stopped draining and despite best efforts we've been unable to fix it. Hoping for recommendations for reliable appliance repairs.

We got notice a week or so ago that they were going to shut down an intersection near us for the upgrades. At the beginning of this week, the traffic was rerouted down a very narrow residential street and the city put out their mobile no parking signs on one side of the street. Transit buses are now navigating this, along with all the rerouted traffic to/from Sarcee plus the regular local traffic.

I'm selling a vehicle on Autotrader and a potential buyer asked for a Carfax report, but then asked for a 'vin search' report that costs $77. He said Carfax doesn't reveal everything. Is this a scam?

My girlfriend and I just moved into a house with a fireplace and we like to have a fire pretty often, but we don't have a pickup truck or any way of getting a huge load of wood. We're looking to spend around $100-150 at a time and local delivery would be ideal, but we also have a SUV to load up if needed.

I've recently started my own small business hosting community, corporate, and private art events in Calgary. The focus is on creative exploration, expression, and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the finished product. I've been reaching out to local artists, breweries, cafes, and galleries, but I'm wondering what else I could be doing to make connections.

We just got a Lennox furnace installed and the technician from Atco said the circuit board is dead and needs to be replaced. The model is a Lennox G40UH-48C-110-04 gas furnace and the current installed circuit board is the Lennox SureLight 32M8801. We're worried about warranty issues if we do it ourselves.

I had breakfast at Monki today and found out that they've introduced a new contract where all tips go to management, not the servers. I'm not going back because of this, but I'm wondering if I can still tip if I want to.

My friend was charged for a limo service on her debit card, but the company doesn't exist anymore. The charge says it was through a POS square device, and the company name was PG Limo, but the actual company, Premium Limousine Calgary, says they don't use POS squares and don't pick people up on the street.

I've been noticing that the dumpsters at Edworthy dog park are locked now. People used to pile their old furniture around them, and now it's locked. Even if it was unlocked, the two queen-sized mattresses I saw would never fit. Is this a new policy?

I've noticed that sometimes when I ask a bartender, cashier, or barista how they're doing, they say 'living the dream'. I'm not sure if they're being sarcastic or not, and I want to understand the context.

I have a double-bowl kitchen sink and I'm looking to replace both corroded basket strainers and rebuild the ABS drain piping underneath the sink, including the connections between both bowls and the P-trap, up to the existing drain connection at the wall. The quote I got was $890 for all, including parts, labour, and GST. Is that a rip-off?

We got a street sweeping ticket on June second when the sign right beside our home clearly showed only June first for street sweeping. The website also had an unclear message telling us that it started June 1st, with no further messaging. So we moved our car to a paid lot for the first, and returned it. To our surprise, we were towed and ticketed on the second. To our even further surprise, the appeal was just denied! Is there any other option to fight a ticket that isn’t court at this point?

We have a bunch of bottles to donate but the groups doing bottle drives only come around infrequently.
