With our apologies to those still bailing out the basement, here’s our local guide to getting the most out of the summer’s next rainy day/night/week.☔️
Curl up with a good book 📚
With hopes the next storm passes through quickly: here’s a curated list of short stories available from the London Public Library 😉
-
Grab a coffee/play a game ☕️
What’s cozier than snuggling up with a warm cup of coffee on a rainy day? How about getting into one of the 200+ games available at downtown’s Saga Board Games & Coffee as well?! 🎲
-
Catch a Flick 📽️
Aside from their usual fare of great films, Hyland Cinema’s summer schedule is full of fun flicks to distract from the downpour; including Jaws, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Back to the Future II, and Cat Video Fest 2024 (!!!!) 😻!
-
Visit Beach Boy Burger 🍔
After a short hiatus, Beach Boy Burger has brought their beachside vibes back—this time around from their new HQ in the Talbot Centre Mall at 140 Fullarton! 🏖️
-
Listen to the Thunder Queens’ “Summertime” 🕶️
Throw on a pair of shades and your headphones, close your eyes, and let the Thunder Queens’ latest single transport you to the lake—sandcastles, seagulls and all 🤘!
-
Bonus 🚨
Revisit Localist 143 - “On a Boat”, where—in lieu of another rainy stretch—we paid tribute to some of the city’s most (in)famous aquatic vessels. 🛶
