Check out their website to find out who is playing! Sometimes it will be local talent, or square dancing, or disco! You never know! It's a quick walk and cover is cheap!

Another laundromat a few blocks away from me, but highly recommended by a close friend. Do it yourself, or drop it off for a higher fee.

Parks & Nature

About 20 minute walk from my place, with 10-15 minutes to circle this little local lake. From May-October on Saturdays there is a local farmer's market (10-3). There is also a community centre there with tennis courts, swimming pool, and ice rink, plus many other activities - fees are applied for dropping in.
