Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
My husband and I were at the Max on Campbell and College around 1pm today, Aug 7, 2014. I was looking out the window while he pumped the gas. I spotted a woman wearing blue shorts and a white tank top walking a white dog. Nothing out of the ordinary right? She walked along with her water bottle when the dog stopped and looked up at her. She uncapped the water bottle and gave the dog a nice drink of water!! It wasn't her water, it was for the dog!! You, kind lady, have been spotted!!! #animallover #spottedinwindsor
To the woman who complimented my daughter by saying, "Hello beautiful girl" after my daughter smiled at you at Food Basics downtown, you have no idea how much that made her day! She is just starting to build her confidence and your compliment made her day. Thank you. #kindwords #spottedinwindsor #randomactofkindness
Ambassador Bike in Windsor, you've been spotted!
Today, I brought a Brazilian student who recently arrived in Windsor to your bike shop. As an international student, it is difficult to adjust to the weather, food, and culture, but the hardest adjustment is in the freedom to get around.This young man was extremely happy to be given a discarded bike which was in really rough shape. He asked me where he would go to get it serviced because the seat was unusable and it needed a new chain. I brought him to Ambassador Bikes (just off off Huron Line). The staff took one look at the rusted out, well used bike and said it wasn't worth fixing. They brought out a wonderful, used bike and GAVE it to him. I asked them how much was and they said that he could have it (free). I couldn't believe it!! What an amazing gift! This is a wonderful memory that he will carry with him when he returns to Brazil. This simple act of kindness has made all Windsorites and Canadians look good in the eyes of this foreign student. Thank you to Mark Long and Nate Bere! Your generosity has made me so proud to be a Canadian! #PayitForward #SpottedinWindsor
Heading to the passport office with 2 children. No easy task. Parked on Ouellette at the meter. Noticed the car in front of me had no time. So I put in the remainder of my change (only 10 minutes) but figured that might help. Applied for passports. Went to the subway on Dougall (beside the drive test center) 3/ $18 any footlongs. Great deal. Due to having 2 kids with me, I let the gentleman in front of me go ahead. While finishing my order and getting to the cash register, that gentleman left $12 towards my bill!! So to that kind gentleman. I send my thanks!! #Payitforward #SpottedinWindsor #Subway #Karma
The waitresses at Lone Star on Walker Road. My husband and I went out for dinner last night and brought along our 9 month old baby boy. Our baby was fantastic while we waited to place our order, ate our appetizer and waited for our meals. The second our meals came, he was super fussy and tired. My husband and I took turns eating and holding the baby as not to disturb the other restaurant patrons with a crying baby. A waitress saw this and said she had some free time and offered to walk with our baby while we both ate together.
I couldn't believe it! How awesome! Never would have expected service like this! She stayed near our table, rocking, talking and keeping our boy content while we enjoyed our meal.
Five stars to this waitress and the restaurant. Definitely one of our favourite dining spots and will be returning customers! #Lonestar #Dinner #SpottedinWindsor

You saw our little family caught in the downpour, waiting for a break in the rain to make a run for our vehicle, and pulled over to give us the umbrella you had just purchased.
My husband, two small children and I thank you for your incredible kindness. It touched me greatly. :)
You've been spotted!

I would like to thank the very helpful 'yard sale vendors' on Forest Glade who took pics of my accident and sent to me. If you're reading this, everything is in order and I did have to give your name to the adjustor (but you did give me permission for that). I really appreciate all of your help and I thank you and your family.
