Multiple workers complained about being underpaid and being poorly treated by management. I recently had a bad experience prompting me to voice my concern. I was outside the front door where a lady was yelling and screaming. She was smoking a pipe. Employees just stood by. The fact that this is just so normal to everyone there scares me. I am 78 years old. I will not be returning. Buyer beware!

It makes a big difference when you're looking through the racks to have a friendly face telling you about the deals rather than feeling like you're in the way, which I've experienced at other thrift stores in the past. There are two floors to this shop - today the second floor was wedding themed, which was amazing. There were also formal dresses, jewellery, handbags and suits on display upstairs - anything you might need if you were going to or planning a wedding. It was fun poking through the wedding dresses and seeing right in front of you how much styles have changed throughout the decades! Downstairs there is a "front" that has racks of clothing and some jewellery and in the back, you'll find some homewares and yet even more clothing. Shoes, winter coats, and kids clothes are back there. The prices at Hand in Hand are amazing!! You won't find any almost-full-price goods here. If the item wasn't priced it was $4, and Friday's are student discount days! (Good to know!) We found an amazing hot pink pineapple print dress...definitely not for me, but one of our friends was so excited to be getting it. This is the kind of thrift store I enjoy being in - it really feels like you could find rare treasures here if you just had enough time.

Not only are the drink super cheap and flowing fast and furious the dance floor is on fire. Friday night was Karaoke night which was really fun. Yes the Legion is filled with the regulars but it is always nice to add some spice to things. What a great bunch of people here at this location that are always up for a good time. Drop on by and belt out a tune..

The Royal Canadian Legion is located right across from the post office…read more Anyone who knows the Legion's knows that there are a lot of stories and lets say, not all the truth, over many a beer here. It is a place where you can only go if you are a member. You have to have served in one of the services or be a able to prove you are a spouse or child etc. The rules are very long and I would suggest going to the site to have a look. The Legions are know for their Levey's at Christmas. It is the one time of year that beer is free and you can usually get it without being a member. Levey's are fun, we use to do a circuit of them. The Legion is a place that serves its regulars and is a great place for our Vets to go and be appreciated.

The store is a double isle of content with minimal trinkets and lots of grande. Its a solid enough spot for a look if you're furniture shopping. The owner of the store was friendly enough, displaying some dry humor as he encouraged my sister and I towards the rifles. (encased in glass) Although there wasn't anything that sparked my interest for the time being, I see this as a worthy pit stop for the vintage shopper and those looking for furniture with Victorian flare.

This antique shop isn't of the trinket variety, instead carrying large furniture pieces and lamps, with some china and decor sprinkled in the mix. I've never been offered a salutation on my handful of visits to this shop, but I browse nonetheless, ignoring the fact that I am perpetually ignored. Today I eyed a marvelous brass and crystal candelabra, wearing a $495 price tag as well as a few rich and gorgeous bureaus. There are pieces dating back to the 1920s, perfectly restored with care, precision and expertise. The store proprietor, Jim McLellan has been working in the restoration business for some 25 years now, so brings much experience to the art of refurbishing antique goods. A fine place to duck into if you're on the hunt for some fancy home furnishings.

There are lots of cameras and they bill accordingly on time every time giving you 1 week notification via email. I am leaving here on the 9th of March and it was super easy. I called and they told me that I didn't have to give notice etc. and that my billing cycle will resume on March 10th so as long as my things are removed then I won't have to pay anything further. This was a relief as I waited last min to contact them. I would use Storage Inn again in a heartbeat if needed and definitely refer my friends to them.

Hired Able Movers to do a combined move - move my 2 bedroom apartment and my girlfriend's 1 bedroom…read moreapartment into our first home. Both apartments were in Larry Uteck area and the house is in Middle Sackville. Movers showed up on time (even called a few minutes ahead to say they were on the way). They worked fast, were careful, professional, and great guys! I would highly recommend. The whole thing took about 6 hours. Great job. Reasonable price.

So, after my disastrous move with Able Movers, which I reviewed before, the owners responded with a…read morebunch of lies, saying I swore at their staff and that I was completely unreasonable. This was not true. I was going to let it go but I can't. I am pleased the owner has the backs of his employees but I don't appreciate the accusations. Once again- the bare bones details: Booked Able because I moved a lot and I like to move my custom around, share the wealth as it were. One of the movers saw a doorstop from my previous movers and immediately was offended. So, here's the the thing. I booked them for a small truck move. I explained the situation and location. They agreed to come with the correct truck for noon. I started calling them at 4 pm to ask why the truck wasn't there yet. The owner let all my calls go through to voice mail. At 5 pm they showed up with a huge moving truck, completely inappropriate for the tight quarters. I'm on the corner of two busy streets. No place to park so they all left and returned over an hour later with another big truck. I'd been told they had a smaller one they could use. Parking was still a problem, so we were discussing if they could park in front of the dry hydrant - I agreed to pay the ticket if they got one. While we were discussing, one of the movers saw a woman he knew, and they started heading over to Alderney landing for a coffee. At that point I did raise my voice to reach him, asking where he was going. He yelled back he was going to take a crap and that he didn't want to crap in my apartment. This was in the middle of Portland and Alderney drive. I have to admit that by this time I was losing it. I have MS and am disabled and the stress and long standing was exhausting me. The boss then called me to tell me his mover was offended and would no longer move me because "I sweared at him". I admit, I may have said 'where the hell are you going' but it was already 6 pm and absolutely nothing had been moved My son and I decided that was the end, being told off by the boss when the service was so impossible. We fired them at this point, my son rented a truck from Enterprise and we and my landlady (God bless her) moved us across the street. It took us until midnight and I had to rest for a week afterwards. They didn't even offer to carry things over. It was just across the street!!! I felt the one mover didn't like the look of the move after what was admittedly a long day and deliberately made it impossible. I found no support at all from the boss of Able Movers and to see his response to my previous review, he remains the same. He did not listen to my side of the story at all, and never responded to my phone calls- in fact only talked to me when he called me to tell me off for MY behaviour!!! Just to give you a perspective, I am 5' tall, 61, and disabled. They treated me horribly all day. I will never use these movers again and hope they change their attitude for others.
