Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
Hi! I was wondering if you'd be able to share my new community Facebook page called "Meaghan's Mission." I'm on a mission to help shelter animals from across Ontario and even Michigan get adopted !! I'll be sharing animals that are often "overlooked" or have been at the shelters for a while as well as posting current information about the SPCA, local events, and anything in between to promote adoption of animals and animal rights!! Thank you :)

I know people usually say the City of Windsor workers etc.. don't do their jobs well or at all. I'd just like to give a shout out to the BY-LAW officers and PARKING ENFORCEMENT.
I've had to call about an abandoned house every year a few times a year. The BY-LAW officers made sure this time the work not only was done but done right. The owners usually just cut and run. No trimming no clearing. Thankfully this time it looks great.
Secondly I have had to call about people parking in an illegal spot on our road that makes it hard to enter the street. Within 1/ 2 hour of my call (twice in one week) the Commissioners came and ticketed the offender. Thank you!

Saturday afternoon my car stalled and wouldn't turn over as I was going to my parents house, with my 2 kids, in Tecumseh from the county.
The first time my car stalled, a very kind gentleman helped me push my car through the intersection and into the parking lot of the Esso station on manning road between Tecumseh and #3hwy. -He waitied until I got a hold of someone. I thanked him for his help, it was greatly appreciated! He even made a slight joke/ observation that "wow you got a lot of power in you to move this on your own this far! Haha".
The second time my car stalled was at the intersection of manning and Amycroft in Tecumseh.
One young man got out while the other made sure the way was clear so we could push my car into the A& W parking lot. As we crossed the intersection another gentleman who was waiting to cross with his family, ran over to help push as well.
Once parked and my sister jump started my car once again, the young man came back to make sure everything was OK with us. I must have thanked him at least a half dozen times for the push and the advise on my car!
To all the very helpful men whom had helped me Saturday afternoon (the 30th of May, 2015),
Thank you very much! With out all of your help I would have been stuck a lot longer than I was!
I haven't seen many people who would go out of their way to help a stranger recently and all of you have made my week with you generosity and assistance in my time of need!
My 2 kids and I thank you!
Spotted on the 1c west bound about 3pm June 1st a young man (20ish) in a blue hoodie and black jeans continuously offered his seat to elderly and helping them to their newly acclaimed seats. Then upon exiting he aided them off the bus smiling and being just a awesome human. While this should be standard practice, it seems as i ride the bus i see it less frequently or fought with less than courteous remarks, so to you Mr.Gallant bus man, im now spotting you! It made me and several others on the bus smile. And no doubt made those elderly folks day.
Breaking my phone on rent-day wasn't exactly a good way to start the month. Calling around, places quoted $100-110. I ended up popping into Smartphone Clinic on Techumseh. The owner was great. While he was working, I asked him how digitizers and things worked - not only did he fix my phone for the money I had in my wallet at the time ($10 less then his fee), he pulled out parts to explain how touch screens and things work just to satisfy my curiousity.
I said I'd recommend him to anyone, so here I am. :-).
At 3 pm on lauzon parkway a police officer pulled up on the sidewalk at the intersection . A cat was laying there struggling to stay alive it appeared to have been hit by a car. The kind male officer stayed with this cat continuously petting the cat in the most gentle way I was at a red light there and even managed to see the cat lift his head to look at the officer. Not sure if the officer was waiting to see if the cat could be helped or just sitting with it during its last moments but it melted my heart. Thank you officer for making my day. Be kind always
Shout out to the Crosstown 2 driver passing Pillette & Wyandotte at 1:30 today. You parked, got out of your seat and went out of your way to help a quite frail lady off of the bus when you noticed that you parked a bit of a step away from the curb. I've dealt with many Transit employees over the past 20 years, good and bad- but I've never seen anyone as curtious as you. Thank you for proving that the world is still a great place to be!
