Excellent. I've used Go Truck Go twice and they're great. Courteous, on time, quick, personable and reasonably priced. What more could you want?
This place is just the bees knees. Went here with a friend after finding out the mountain was closed and there was pretty much nothing else to do in Whistler, and we were happy we did.
The whole setup here is perfect. Drive up onto the mountainside…More »

Dry Cleaning & Laundry

Gotta love delivery dry cleaning, especially for a reasonable price with bang up service.
After going to Fletchers for years, I now do all my dry cleaning and professional laundering with DIB. Not that Fletchers is bad, but I don't live on the West…More »

Went to this place to get 2 Swiss Army knives engraved as gifts for my cousins today and was disappointed on several levels.
Most importantly, they couldn't fulfill on any of my requests - no engraving the red plastic covering, no engraving on the…More »

Great selection, probably a bit pricey, but great products in the designer eyewear category. I got my pair of Lunors from here. Designed in Germany and handmade in Japan, the guy said they are one of five pairs imported to Canada, and the only pair…More »

Trained here for two years with Popeye - love the guy. He's a great trainer and has become a friend, too. He makes it easy to learn Crossfit and is unintimidating, unlike some other Crossfitters and coaches I've experienced.
Popeye has since left…More »

Yes it's a bit pricey, but if you really value your clothes and want them to last, Fletchers is the place to go. I've never had any issues with them - dry cleaning, shirt laundry, alterations, repairs... they do it all, and they do it all top-notch.…More »

Green Maids is OK - not bad, not great, but I have experienced better.
I used to use them regularly a couple years ago, then again recently for the first time in a long time, at my new apartment. The pros and cons here are pretty even, and weak, so I…More »
Anthony in Boston (13)Just like the other "Anthony in (city)" lists, I spend a lot of time in Boston, and this is where I've been. You'll notice it's of the greater Boston area, not just Boston proper, with a heavy dose of Concord establishments. I lived in Concord for 15 years, and my parents still do... |
