Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
I spotted a young couple arguing in front of my house this evening, in the area of Gladstone and Ellis. The girl was no older than 16, and she was screaming with her boyfriend, who appeared a few years older than her, screaming that she could not go back to his house. She was pulling on his wrist, trying to pull him in the opposite direction, screaming and dead set against going back to his house. They were walking down Ellis Ave, in the direction of Moy, Hall and Parent. I went outside to ask if everything was ok, and the boyfriend apologized, and said that he was just trying to get home. The girl ignored me, and continued to plead with him, saying that she couldn't go back to his house, and that she had no where else to go. I stood in my driveway, watching and listening, because I wasn't sure what this argument was about. The boyfriend agreed to sit on the curb with her, and she appeared to calm down, so I went back inside. I continued to watch from the window, and saw him leave her sitting on the curb. I went outside again to try and talk to her and see if she was ok. She said she couldn't go back to her parents house because her mom was "messed up", and I am concerned for her because if in her mind, staying on the street was a better option than going back to her boyfriends house, then my feeling is that something bad happened there. My gut feeling was that she was afraid and completely alone. I asked if there was anyone I could call for her, but she said no, and she walked away in the same direction as her boyfriends house.
She said her name was BAILEY, and she had dark hair tied in a loose bun. She was wearing grey sweat pants and a black sweatshirt and a bright neon pink backpack. If anyone sees her in the Ottawa, Tecumseh, Parent, Walker border, please contact police and let them know. I have contacted them already to inform them of this situation, and to check in on her if they see her. If you see her walking around, she may not have a place to go.
To the boy who found my mothers phone and was honest enough to answer and return it. My mom lost her phone Sunday the past weekend. She never really noticed until I came over and asked why she wasn't replying to my messages. We looked everywhere and had no luck. She remembers having it last when she went shopping. I sent a bunch of messages but none were going through which means likely the phone was off. Finally, Yesterday I get a reply on my phone stating yes they found it and it was dead so they had to charge it. I am going to let you read the messages back and forth with Derek and thank him again on here for being such an amazing kid. I ended up buying him a gift card to walmart since he wouldn't tell me what he wanted. This boy was only 15 and had enough respect for other peoples property that he took it from a friend who said they should sell it. Thanks again Derek my mom is so thankful, your parents have done everything right.
We worked the election on Monday and a wonderful couple whom we just met Bob and Karen Ryan , brought us all in coffee and Tim Bits. Thank you so much for that wonderful gesture. I will be sure to pay it forward in some way.
I usually get off class from the St.Clair downtown campus, and head to the bus stop with a crowded bus waiting for me/ or line to get on the bus. I usually just listen to my music and mind my own, but there was a woman who was struggling by me with MANY bags. As she caught my attention and finally sat in her seat, I saw she dropped her wallet without noticing. As others stared, I made the move to hand it to her. The smile you gave me, and how grateful you were over such a small gesture really made my day. You really taught me to take my headphones out and pay attention more to little things after class ahaha. Because I could help someone like you!
As she said "Thank you" just about a million times, the bus emptied and conversation died. Right before she got off the bus, she handed me a 5$ bill and would not let me give it back to her.
I just want you to know your smile, gratefulness really made me proud of myself. Although picking up a wallet for someone who didn't notice is kind of a cliche deal. I felt like a hero with all the appreciation you showed. I also got myself a coffee and small dinner like you told me to. I will also be paying it forward. :)
Hopefully my deed kept you smiling as well! I just wanted to share this story so people could know your kindness!
THANK YOU to the couple that stayed with Benny after he was hit by a car @ Wyandotte & St. Rose today . Within an hour Benny's picture was posted on the Humane Society web page and we raced right out to get him. Thank you to them for the medical care and compassion for Benny! We took him to South Howard Animal Care who tended to him immediately! Thank you Natalie (officer @ HS) ... Benny is now home resting and hopefully will recover 100%.
Just 1 more note: SHAME ON YOU WHO HIT BENNY AND LEFT THE SCENE! it is not like you wouldn't of known you did it he is 75 lbs and a very large dog! AGAIN SHAME ON YOU!
To the man at the Esso gas station at Lesperance and Riverside Drive, thank you for letting my son and daughter listen to your motorcycle, and 'rev' the engine while I filled my tank. You made a Monday night awesome for them! Hope you enjoyed your icecream.

I would just like to give a shout out to the employees at two of the Starbucks location I frequently go to. The Walker Rd. and Tecumseh east locations. They are absolutely amazing, I barely have any issues there and when I do they fix them without any questions asked. I would stop at the tecumseh location every day for two weeks at a time on my way to work, they always were polite and spoke to me while I waited in the drive thru for my drink. I go to the walker location when I'm just n the mood for it, they too are super friendly and will always make good suggestions, and conversation. #starbucks
