There’s something deeply off about how Farhi Holdings operates in London — and a lot of us have seen pieces of it.

Vacant buildings for decades. Prime lots hoarded. “Development” promises that don’t materialize.

Meanwhile: housing crisis, rent spikes, and the same names on every downtown property title.

There’s stuff nobody writes down — but everyone who’s worked behind the scenes knows.

I’m collecting everything: If you’ve known them and their family. If you’ve had any firsthand experience with the people or companies behind long-vacant downtown buildings — leasing, working, contracting, getting pushed out, dealing with property managers, etc. — post what you know. No theories, just what you’ve seen: how things were handled, who was involved, what changed, what didn’t. Even small interactions matter. Especially useful if it connects to buildings that haven’t been touched in years but keep showing up in city plans, sales, or ownership records. If it felt off, it probably was — document it— anything that never made it to the paper

It all matters.

Not asking you to name names unless you want to.

You can DM me. You can drop your story here. You can just say what you’ve seen and let others fill the gaps.

Let’s build the record ourselves. No fluff. Just what people know but never post.

What’s your guys’ go to places to spend a free day out of the house and things to do in and around London that doesn’t cost much? Since the sun’s starting to come out, I wanna get out of the house and go to places in the city but I don’t know what really to do. (Please don’t say “leave”)

I know there is a lot of flooding around the Thames right now and want to get out for a rollerblade today wondering how bad the TVP is? Mainly looking at the sections from the Northeast side to downtown.

Their name is everywhere. They keep popping up here. What’s the history. What’s the story.

Like the title says, anyone knows any completely female only spaces for sports? especially swimming, I'm desperate for a hobby and can't seem to find any. Thanks!

Every day, everywhere I go, I see these spots where garbage is just strewn across the beautiful landscapes especially in areas of heavy weeds or medium trees.

It would take me roughly 4 hours to pick it all up in each spot. If I had a helper, we might be able to get it done in a couple hours.

I know I always see these "community clean-up" activities, but I know there are countless areas in London where there isn't one of those.

I'm wondering if there was some program where I could point out which areas need to get done and get paid to just walk through the area and pick up trash. It's easy to prove this isn't just me throwing trash around so I can pick it up again, as many examples of this are large patches of property with trash that's been there for years.

The city would definitely benefit from this service, so I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to pay for it.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Hey gang

Now that winter programs are wrapping up, I am looking into what is being offered for the Spring.

Wondering if I have missed anything on the below list that is worth checking out?

My kids aren’t into hockey. We are located in Old South.

Otherwise, I have looked into

Play Your Way YMCA Forest City Volleyball London Volleyball Club Scouts Girl Guides Adventure Byron Soccer Clayworx Excel Swim School Finan Swim School Gold Medal Basketball London 86ers London Orion London Basketball Club London Performing Arts Academy Original Kids London Ramblers

Anything else I haven’t thought of that’s worth checking out?

Kids are 12, 11, 9, and 7.

I’m looking to buy bird seed in bulk (like 20-50 lbs bags)... I’d like to support local but I’m open to online options too.

Any stores, farms or suppliers you use to find quality seed at a decent price?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of any good places to learn how to DJ in London?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to join a cricket club in London, Ontario for the 2025 season. I’ve played some cricket before and would love to get back into it, either casually or competitively—open to both!

Can anyone recommend clubs in the area that are welcoming to new members? I’d appreciate any info on how to join, what the vibe is like, and if there are any tryouts or registration details for this season.

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to be in London for the day at the end of the month. I've never been there before and am looking for recommendations on good lunch spots and anything interesting that I should see or do while I'm there. Thanks!

I'm craving lobster right now. That's really all there is to it. I don't want to sit at a restaurant nor do I want to go buy it and cook it myself.

I just want a couple of lobster tails, and probably some more stuff from the menu. But definitely the lobster tails.

I paint portraits for a living and northern Ontario is a poor cultural wasteland where I have to aggressively push my services to survive. Would I be better off working in London?

What's rumored to be coming to the Hudson's Bay spot at the White Oaks location?

Hi all, I am planning with my friend for us to do a double date with our girlfriends and was wondering if anyone had any ideas besides just getting dinner? We're all mid 20s and enjoy new and fun experiences so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Or a similar creamy sauce! Any recs in London?

Thanks
