The End of an Era...

"Just had one of those bittersweet moments that I think a lot of us can relate to. I walked into JB Hi-Fi today, only to see an empty section where all the CDs, DVDs, and vinyls used to be. That was always a huge part of what made JB special, the thrill of finding a hidden gem or that perfect album. I know so many people, myself included, would go there specifically for physical media, it’s just not the same as streaming. I'm not the biggest fan of Netflix and other streaming platforms that, honestly, don’t always give studios the credit (or income) they deserve. It’s the end of an era, and it’s sad to see it go." — Talitha Greer

Senior Citizen Needs Your Help

"My Mum, who is 80+, has just been told her rent is going up to a level she can’t sustain. She has 2 months to find somewhere to live. Does anyone know of a 2 bdrm unit or granny flat coming for rent? Around Wellington Point area.

She’s very self sufficient, still drives, still goes to church.

Thanks all." — Linda Marie

What's Your Holy Grail Product?

"Hello! A random one, not really Redlands related, but might be an interesting rant. What products (of any sort) have you bought that you are completely satisfied with (made your life better/easier)? No ads, only honest recommendations, please. (tbh, I'm looking for a useful birthday gift for my friend, so I hope the answers could inspire my creativity a bit). Local businesses preferred! <3" — Evie Hickinbotham Turner
