Forum: Introductions

I find posting photos here very hard.. any suggestions. I want to browse pics and post but unless I am missing something the tool on here wont allow that? Please help?:confused:

I've been a member here since December 2008, but I wanted to do a formal introduction thread, and also to let you know about some other web-blogging that I do. I'm a life-long Nanaimo area resident. I grew-up in South Wellington, and now live in north-end of town. My nickname "Flugel Horn"...

I just discovered this forum, wish I knew about it sooner. I think its a great idea, I've found a lot of interesting information that I was completely unaware of before. I read the entire thread about the old zoo and the incident with the lion, it was very cool seeing the collective tidbits...

Hello and thank you for such a great resource! Nanaimo is what I refer to as my “ancestral homeland.” My great-grandparents emigrated from England to Nanaimo in the late 1800s. My great-grandfathers mostly worked in the mines, although one had run the Occidental Hotel for a short while in the early...

Howdy to the folks that make this happen. Have read many interesting posts and like the vibe here. Bonjour to all!

I am registered. As of April 22, 2012 we have lived here one year. Most of the people we have encountered here are awesome. It's lonely at times, but that's ok, self reflection never hurt anyone. Born and raised in Montrel, Quebec, moved to BC in 1982, moved around quite a bit and finally ...

Husband works at a job that he travels for months at a time--so wherever we live we will be alone for long periods of time. I am looking for an area of town that has good schools and decent houses for a fairly low rent and safe (if there is such a place-I hope so) Also where we live now --kids...

Hey Everyone, My name is Ben, and I am moving into an apartment in Nanaimo by the end of February(coming from the Comox Valley); after reading lots of the threads on this forum I wanted to introduce myself to the online community here. Some years ago I lived in, and commuted to, Nanaimo,...

Hi everyone, My husband and I and young son are moving to Nanaimo next summer from the Northwest Territories. I am originally from Vancouver and hubby is from Calgary. It's another huge move, which we are looking forward to, but we are really not familiar with the neighbourhoods in Nanaimo. We...

Hello all, I am considering a move to Nanaimo from Red Deer and stumbled across this board while looking for information. Really neat to be able to read and get a picture of what the city is like and I'm getting more excited for the move.

hello all, I am happy to have found this forum. My husband and I arre hoping to move to Nanaimo and these forums seem to have a wealth of information. Are there any developments that also have a community garden? We would like to walk as much as we can to shops, library etc, any suggestions....

Just thought I'd make a shout out and say hi to everyone in these forums. I've lived in Nanaimo my entire life and am an avid Geocacher, which is how I discovered this forum. As I like to say, Happy Caching!

Just moved to Cedar last spring from down island, loving it here and hoping to learn more about my new town on this forum!

I've just moved to the area in September, and am attending VIU. I enjoy playing water polo, working on my 1982 HONDA HOBBIT i purchased in Nanaimo :D, playing Ukulele, Djing, and going to school! I did move here with a job, but the waiting list here for it is massive i hear(poste). I suppose I am...

Hello all. Born and raised in Nanaimo, have been living in Victoria since 93. However, my parents still live in Nanaimo as do many of my best friends. I have long had a deep interest in the history of Nanaimo and our Island and have found many of the threads fascinating. My family goes...
