Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
ok, since the construction happened at riverside and lauzon alot of people and I mean alot do not understand how to turn right onto lauzon. YOU HAVE A YEILD NOW. that means the person wanting to turn left onto lauzon off of riverside has the right of way and you need to yeild to them. lauzon is a dead end, there is no more Abars so who would you be yielding to? The people turning left get to go before you and you need to stop and let them turn. I live around there, take it every day and let me tell you cars turning left are fed up and going and are ready to hit every single one of you who arent yielding. read the signs of the road!!!
I would really appreciate if you would take the time to share in hopes this is read by the individual.
I want to post this message in hopes that the person/ persons who broke into the shed in my backyard sometime in the past couple of days on Tourangeau road sees. The first thought that crossed my mind was sadness. This afternoon while about to spend some family time together we found our back sheds door had been unscrewed and off. Someone had taken the time to remove the screws and it appears they had taken time to carefully go through all of our items. My 7 year old son stood there next to us crying out tears as he noticed more and more of his possessions are no longer here.
The fishing rods that his dad and I saved up for and bought for fathers day a few short months ago are gone. You see, we are not well off. We saved for months to be able to buy these fishing rods and fishing gear so that my son and husband would have a hobby while spending time together. The bounce house my son got for his birthday has been used at family gatherings and when friends visit and holds memories of fun times and laughter. The bikes that you took have taken away our ability to spend time together while going on bike rides. These are only a few of the things you have taken from us. There were many more that we keep coming to realization.
The hardest thing to accept that you have taken is my sense of calm, my piece of mind and my childs innocence as I explain to him that mommy and daddy will do our best to repurchase these items but it will take time.In the last 5 years of living in our home, we have had our car broken into twice and I thought that was hard, this is harder. I found some of my sons baby clothes on the bottom of our shed all dirty as you threw things around in search of items of value.You took some of my sons baby clothes and stuffies I was saving for our next baby. (the sentimental value of those cannot be replaced. I sit here now trying to think of all the things you may have taken that I have not yet realized.
The reality of it is that these items are materialistic things and that's the only lesson I can learn from this. I am currently trying to tell my sobbing 7 year old son that maybe someone needed it more than us. We never had it easy in life. We have had to work for every cent we have ever had. We have had to save for months on end to be able to buy the things you took from us within seconds? minutes? hours? how many trips did it take? How did we not notice while it was happening? I really hope that you needed these items more than we do. That I can come to terms with. But its going to take myself and my family some time to come to terms with the fact that someone went out of there way to take what little we do have while tossing our belongings like they were garbage.
The last time we know the shed was fine was last sunday.
This happened sometime between monday to now. I cant help but to think this has happened within the last 24-48 hours and that maybe you were thinking to come back soon for more. On Thursday September 12th we found a bike on the front of our lawn and are wondering if this may have been when the theft had occurred.
A police report has been filed. I don't expect that we will get anything back. Like I said, I really hope you needed all of these things more than we did. But most importantly I hope that you find it in your heart to change your ways. We have worked our bums off for years to be able to have these things and they were taken in a matter of seconds. I hope that you can learn the value of working hard for the things you want in life. I may have to work extra hard for a while to replace what you took, but I will take pride knowing I worked for them for the second time.
Please get some help and guidance and I hope you feel some remorse for how you left this family feeling today.
To all the parents who put their kids out in front of Chryslers turnstiles asking for money. Half of us are going to be losing our jobs. Half of us DO NOT make $30/ hr. Some of us younger workers have just moved out on our own and now with the constant lay offs are almost broke. So when I say no to your child STOP ROLLING YOUR EYES AND SNICKERING AT ME. honestly you adults have soooooo much more money than me I'm sure. I got about $50 in my bank account and you're going to make me feel guilty for not donating money for your child to play a sport? Are you serious???? STOP!
I would like to take the time to address the little girl from the 7-Eleven last Saturday driving a silver car license plate starting with Ka lx.... I would like to personally apologize publicly for wrongfully accusing you of stealing my money off of the counter. Although two other people high claim they saw you take it the money was found by the clerk Neil. As I took the time to publicly shame you I would like to take the time to publicly apologize for my wrongful accusation. Although the damage cannot be undone I still would like to express my most sincerest apologies. When I came into the store today and they told me that they had found the money I instantly felt horrible. I believed the people that were in line beside me although they may have been mistaken in what they saw. Once again I am truly sorry and I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me
To the man and women who sat on their front porch and watched my baby brother being taken in an ambulance and had the nerve to see us getting in our car to leave and say "dont ever park in my f-ing driveway again" and how you hoped my brother dies- in those exact words. I want you to know that we had no where else to park, because the ambulance needed to get to my brother who just tried committing suicide. I just want you to know that I hope the little girl that was sitting in your lap doesn't grow up to have mental health issues. I will be heart broken for you and her. Today we went back and cleaned the house for him, and my mom told you that he wasnt dead but in a coma instead, you said that you were glad for that and that we just better not ever park in your driveway again. I have never been exposed to someone with so much hate. I feel bad for the baby girl that only has you to look up too. We are hoping he pulls out of the coma hes in and can start getting more help. I love my brother and I wish you didnt make this terrible time worse for us. Karma works in weird ways.
Please keep my brother and family in your prayers and I'll keep you in mine.
This is very unlike me to post something like this but I am so upset that I just had to. I live in Lasalle and go for walks every morning. I am a forty something year old woman. I smile and say good morning to everyone I pass. This morning while out on my walk in between Malden and Matchette on Bouffard Someone was watering their lawn and it was going directly in the path of the sidewalk. I didn't want to get soaked so I had to walk on the patch of grass by the road. As I continued walking I heard somebody yell "Hey!!" I looked back and this man was on his porch and yelled to me, "what are you doing?" I said "what do you mean?" He said "did you not see the cones on my driveway, I'm sealing it." I pointed to the cones in front of me and said "but I didn't walk on your driveway" He said "look behind you there are cones on that side too, are you blind?" I said but I walked on the grass." He said "Exactly", so I said "where should I have walked?" He said "on the sidewalk", and I said "but I would have gotten soaked, I had no where to go but the grass because you have taken over this whole area" He then yelled at me to "Drop Dead" so I said "what a gentleman" to which he responded "you too!!" At that point I didn't want to engage him any further so I put my headphones on and continued walking. I'm quite sure he yelled something else at me.
So to the gentleman (and I use that word loosely), in Lasalle, If you were my father or husband I would be completely ashamed of your behavior. You were so incredibly rude and disrespectful. I wasn't being malicious or purposely trying to ruin your grass or driveway, I just didn't want to get soaked.
I try to defend Windsor and it's citizens when I can, but I have a lot of difficulty doing so in this case.
I was the driver of a VW Golf that was hit head-on on Tuesday Aug 20, around 8pm on Wyandotte St W near Janette. I suffered multiple injuries in the accident.
First of all, not one fellow motorist or bystander stopped or checked to see if I was okay. Not even after the driver of the other vehicle got out of his, came over to mine, opened my door and started verbally accosting me and swearing at me, telling me it was my fault. I fully believe he was under the influence of something because of his behaviour. I had to lock myself in my car until WPS arrived. I was terrified and shaking from shock following the accident!
Second, I know there were plenty of motorists ahead of me and behind me during the downpour of rain around then. There were also people rushing to get out of the rain around where the accident happened. I know someone saw something!
If you were a witness to this accident, I beg you to call WPS and report what you witnessed. I know the accident was the other driver's fault but I need witnesses to tell WPS what they saw.
Report no. Is 19-78703
Please do the right thing and tell WPS what happened! Thank you! Any help is appreciated!
I was visiting my friend in windsor and we went to the Tim Hortons right beside the ciociaro club. This is a location I went to all the time before I moved. My friend, me, my brother, and her 3 year old son we're sitting down having our coffee and donuts and her son became a little bit loud so we noticed there was a meeting behind us so we moved to another booth. Well a guy at the booth beside the one we moved to started cursing at my friends 3 year old son. So my friend was like is there a problem and he ignored her and started talking about how if we don't like this country we should leave. He started cursing and talking about us and our people. I have never felt so unsafe in Windsor. It's crazy. I am 3rd generation Canadian but because my friend who lived here all her life wears a hijab he felt the need to harass us. When he got up he's like Canadians have no rights anymore because of you people.
One thing I have to say is I hope you don't tell anyone that you are from Canada because you are honestly a disgrace and you will taint the name of Canadian.
Thank you to the manager who was super nice and apologized for his behaviour. It honestly left us shaken.
Also, to the guy that ran up to our car on our way out to apologize for the incident. Thank you! You demonstrated the true Canadian way.
