Spotted, the bus stop across from Average Joe's on Lauzon Road, and the sidewalk leading to the corner of Tranby and Lauzon that hasn't been cleared, along with the sidewalk in front of Thai Palace, along with the sidewalks around Select Auto on Lauzon Line that haven't been shoveled. Yes, I know that we have had many major snowfalls, but, gee, the sidewalks and bus stops along McHugh are cleared enough to walk on. and it's not a major intersection! I have minor mobility issues when there is a certain amount of snow (tried walking thriugh the snow outside of Thai Palace, and tripped in a minor snowdrift, so turned around and walked back to the bus stop outside of Average Joe's - and this was back in December!) Because of this, I can't get out and go for walks like I'd normally do!

Does anyone know who to complain to? Would calling 311 help?

Spotted: All the inconsiderate smokers who don't stay back at least 9 meters from all entrances. I really don't enjoy having to carry my 1 year old daughter through a cloud of your smoke. Please have some consideration for those of us who don't smoke and stay back an appropriate distance.

Windsor Travel Clinics. Such a shame and a hassel. I have been trying to get a hold of two of the three in the city for the last 4 days (work days). I still have had no luck in talking to someone, but got very frustrated spending 15 minutes on the phone listening to automated options, hoping a useful one would arise. A phone call to three separate travel clinics in Toronto and a total of 5 minutes later and I had all the facts I needed from each one. I pride myself on sticking local, but for this, I don't think so, I heading to Toronto. (Plus, if you believe it, it's less than half the price)

I really understand if your child just LOVES Legos and is completely in awe that there is a real, live movie on the BIG SCREEN that includes OMGLEGOS!! I don't understand allowing your child to scream at the top of his lungs for the ENTIRE movie and never shushing him. I especially don't understand allowing him to sit 6 seats away from you so you couldn't shush him even if you wanted to. Of course, you may not have noticed how annoyed the rest of the theatre was, because you were texting and browsing Facebook during most of the movie. Yes, I know this, because I was sitting right behind you and could see everything you were doing on your phone. Also, it really hurt my eyes and head to be watching a 3D movie in a dark theatre, then to have you start taking flash pictures of your cute children, with the flash pointing at me, because I was behind you. You and your child made the movie a complete assault on my senses, and I missed many of the good lines because your child was shouting in delight.

Add to that I had to constantly hold my very angry children back from telling you and your child off. My kids were so completely frustrated and angry. My son had used his theatre gift cards from his birthday to pay for us all to go to the movie, and we all walked out of the theatre in a frustrated and dejected mood.

I wonder how the other theatre patrons felt about your poor manners. We had a blind lady sitting next to us, with her dog, so maybe she was spared from being assaulted by your flash and phone, but I'm sure she and her dog were very distracted by your child's squealing voice.

Everyone keeps saying the Lego movie was great, but my children and I aren't sure, because the movie felt disjointed and we kept missing parts of it, so felt lost.

Not really a bad sighting but just more of a thing that gets under my skin. In this area pretty much every pool area built since 2000 or just a little before has a Family Change room. As a mom with boys and girls I am happy with the times that my husband can come swimming so I do not have to worry about my boys getting ready. However, when I was going swimming alone with one of my boys I always used the Family Changing rooms even though they were young. If you are a mom coming into a woman’s changing room with your 7 year old boy he may just get a big eye full. If your child is old enough to go to school and talk they are to big for a changing room where the opposite sex is changing. By the way Family Change rooms are usually bigger with more changing rooms.

Special thanks to the moron in this Excursion plough that was clearing snow on Sunday night at David Suzuki Public School on Raymond. It was 7:15pm, no other cars on the road, & you felt the need to pull out of the parking lot in front of me. I slammed on my breaks & slid on the ice, almost hitting you. When I honked to let you know I was there, you proceeded to slam on your breaks & block both lanes of traffic, not letting me & oncoming traffic pass. I hope you & the cops had a nice chat!!

you've been spotted!!!

I am a mother that is writing on behalf of the bullying post you just put up, My 9yr old Son is dealing with bullies at his Catholic School here in Windsor and has been for over a year, I have been to both the school and wrote the school board and nothing is being done. I have received we are taking care of the issues, and we have a no bully policy.. My child is at the point where he refuses to go to school because he is sad, my child is loving and still wishes to be friends with these children even after he has has his teeth curbed stomped out of his mouth, sprained arms bruises and whatnot the list goes on.. I ask that maybe you can share the story, because the school and teachers and boards chooses not to do anything. I know he is not the only one and other parents have done the same I am a tried parent of nothing being done. Children are being psychically and emotional abused by this, is there a end. Where else do parents turn and this is why children are hurting themselves and have had killed themselves. i have also taken pictures of my son and his injuries and got told its ruff behavior my son had layers or skin removed from his back and has had to have a replacement front tooth( that we will don't know if it will survive.) A upset Parent of the catholic system
