cold upstairs - insulation options?

Check out a September 2009 discussion on insulation options for our older homes. Maybe Nolin can help by posting a direct link to the discussion? For some heating options, Downtown Fireplace on Jarv…

This guy was on Curzon last night - around 8 PM. Same story - exchange booze for $ so he could buy diesel for his van. The speed with which he spoke really caught me off guard - throwing out references of sons, his wife, being on holiday, living on…

I'm with Nancy on this point, it's too bad that they didn't have some other products of the dairy nature. Fresh butter, yogurt etc. Because ice cream just won't do it, if Ed's is just up the street.

This is too bad -- I really liked their gelato -- much better than the stuff at Ed's (which tended to be too icy and tasted old). Apparently I should have eaten more of Cream's gelato...

When they opened I loved their ice cream but I was disappointed that they billed themselves as a dairy but the only dairy product they carried was ice cream. I was hoping for yogurts, creams, butter, etc. I wondered how they'd survive the winter onl…

I'm sorry to see any business falter, but also want to point out that there are good ice cream places in the hood. The FIlm Buff's ice creams are not recherché, but are fresh and half the price. If you're buying cones for a family, that matters. An…

Their twitter and FB updates sounded awfully tired in the week or two before they closed. They unexpectedly took a couple of days off that stretched into a week, then were open, and then this lengthy closure. They didn't even bring their chairs in f…

According to their facebook: Cream The Urban Dairy CLOSURE: We apologize for the back and forth, but we will be closed for an extended period this fall. We appreciate your support and will keep you updated as word comes in on late fall plans... So…

That would be wa shame if it were the case, especially with all of the accolades they've been receiving since they opened.

Does anyone know what's happening with Cream? There's a sign in the door saying "Closed until further notice....". I hope they're not closing already.
October 19, 2009
We would support a local farmer's market. We often drive up to East York Civic Centre or over to East Lynn to get our week's worth of veggies/fruit. It would be nice to be able to get that kind of stuff around here. We did the Good Food Box (foodsha…
