Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
To lady that was teaching her daughter to drive on Walker road last night...what exactly are you teaching her?! I was nice to you even after she hit my van. Good thing there was no extensive damage to my van. You gave me"your" name and "your" phone number. Which turned out to be the wrong info. Stupid me I should have taken your license plate number and insurance info....here's to trying to be nice...
Neighbour was caught backing into another neighbours car and didn't tell him...saw the damage and just walked away.
You've been spotted Gary....do.the right thing ...you are a fire fighter and my children who witnessed what you did are disappointed
To the jerk in the reddish tshirt at holburn park who thought he could follow me home to intimidate me - you were WRONG!!! While out walking my dog tonight i along with every other walker at the park saw how you along with 3 other adults and a kid played on the swings, doing your own while your dog was off leash far from you. THIS IS NOT A DOG PARK and there are leash laws for a reason! This is not fair to others trying to enjoy the park. I would say something again if i saw your dog off its leash. You have no control over your animal REGARDLESS of how trained you think they are when they are not leashed.
Almost daily we come across people who feel their dogs don't need a leash - well you are being irresponsible. Take them to a dog park and keep in mind even those have rules that need to be followed. It's people like you that let your dogs wander and leave their business in other people's yards or even the park without cleaning it up.
My dog is ALWAYS leashed when in public. She is not aggressive or a threat to others, she is well trained but I would never chance it. She has been attacked by an UNleashed dog before. Next time i find you following me i am going to dial 911 and report it!
Hey friends! I'm looking for some help in solving a hit and run that occurred this morning, although I think it might be a futile endeavour.....
At 4:45am, my boss was driving northbound on Lauzon Parkway, headed towards county road 42, in a dark blue van with US plates and his company's name on it in white letters. People familiar with this two lane stretch of road know that the left lane proceeds straight normally, while the right lane ends just past the top of the hill, forcing traffic to merge left. (Which of course means that all of the reckless, idiot drivers out there love to jam on the gas and drag race in an attempt to pass as many cars as possible before being forced to merge left.)
My boss was driving the speed limit in the left lane, and a transport truck decided to speed up (my boss estimated the truck was going at least 100km/ hr to catch up to and pass him on the right like that), and proceeded to pass him dangerously on the right side at the last moments before the lane ended. However, he was not clear of my boss' van when he merged. The van was therefore smashed, scraped, and dented in on the front passenger side, just before the wheel well. The damage was caused by the rear left corner of this truck. My boss was shocked, slammed on the breaks, and looked to drive over to the right shoulder to assess the damage, but had to wait for four other cars in the right lane to go by him as the lane ended before he could do so. I'm hoping that one of these cars witnessed something, and could be tracked down to perhaps provide more information. My boss described the cab of the truck as newer, well kept, and white, while the trailer it was pulling was dingy, dirty, had some rust, and was also white. In the panic of the situation, and the dark of the wee hours, he could not make out the license plate, or any names on the truck, but after he pulled over, he watched in the distance and saw this truck turn left onto county road 42. No one stopped to make sure my boss was okay, or offer any assistance. Luckily, he is fine, but he is pretty upset to have this happen to his van, as he's had it less than 2 months, and to have the driver be so reckless and then tear off like that without taking any responsibility. The dark blue paint from my employer's van will be on the rear left corner of this truck.
If you or someone you know was on Lauzon pkwy at 4:45 am and may have seen something that could help us, please post below, or contact me privately. Thanks!
A mother left her baby locked in her car on a hot day! Took firemen 20 minutes to get into the car :( guess going to the gym was more important.
Stolen this morning 6:45 am at Tim Hortons, Dougall at Tecumseh.
Owner chased the thief on for for a quarter of a mile, in the direction of Victoria street southbound under the Ouellette bridge - Jackson Park area.
The bike is a Trek X-Caliber 7, 17.5" frame, 29"wheels and is the only one this colour in the city.
It is the owner's only mode of transportation.
Please keep your eyes open and respond to this post if you see it - or call Windsor Police.
Thank you!
I have been noticing too many people riding their bikes against traffic in this city. Last week I was going through the underpass at Wyandotte and Drouillard and as I got under and started going up, a guy was coming straight at me in the middle of the road. I had to swerve in the other lane. Thankfully nobody was in that lane. I've seen this too many times. If you do this then please stop. It is wrong and dangerous.
A couple days ago I was sitting on my porch relaxing and enjoying the weather. As I was relaxing I heard 2 lady's walking on the other side of the street with their 2 dogs. One lady had a calm collected dog on a leash. The other dog was a boxer and he was on a leash that was retractable. As they passed on the other side of the block I noticed the boxer was excited and panting a lot due to the hot weather. But the lady had the retractable leash had it too short and she needed to let it loose a little. As they walked the lady with the boxer was getting frustrated and kept pulling the dog very hard. One of the pulls caused the boxer to yelp. She also was yelling and swearing at the dog vary loudly. I just wanted to point out that people need to treat their animals with respect. I had a dog but it had to be put down 6 years ago. Whenever we went for a walk I would bring either a water bottle and a bowl or we would go for our walks early in the morning and late at night. If you are going to bring your dog for a walk when it's really hot out take the time to bring water for your dog or make sure you find an area with shade. I also need to point out dogs will stop to sniff things. Don't be impatient with your dog. If the dog needs to smell something let them smell. It's their job. I hope to never see anyone treat their dog like this woman did. It's also great if you have a retractable leash to let it loose a bit so you don't hurt your dog. I hope that dog is ok and isn't hurt
