Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
A couple of months ago, I was in Willistead park in the evening reading a book. I saw a man walking around by himself, glued to his phone. Every few minutes he would walk a few paces, stop and stare at his phone a bit longer. It seemed odd but I didn't think anything of it - until he began to follow me home. Thankfully, there were two security officers patrolling the park. When I explained the behaviour, they told me I was right to be suspicious and made sure I got home safely. Since then, I have never gone to the park in the evening by myself, but in the afternoon I tend to go for runs there. I have been noticing the same thing happening at all times of the day. It has never been the same man twice, but they're all exhibiting the same behaviour. Walking around by themselves, staring at their phone, hiding behind a tree, standing in odd places. Today, I went for a run around noon, another suspicious man in the park. My first lap around, he was blatantly gawking, second lap he seemed to have disappeared, third lap he came out from behind a tree and started walking in my direction from across the park all the while staring - my gut told me something wasn't right. That park is full of kids and teenagers, I called the police and they have informed me that they will have extra patrol in the area but if you see any suspicious activity like this, please report it.
With the recent flood, and the one last year, we've had to get new furniture. I want to thank Stu Cole @ Teppermans. He has gone above & beyond, getting us the receipts from last year to give my insurance company, and helping us pick out a basement full of furniture - twice. He is always great to deal with & super helpful. I hope all your hard work gets you a nice fat commission cheque. You deserve it !
Lost my cat this morning around Ypres and Central the 3380 Ypres housing. He pushed the screen on the main floor Window. I noticed at 5 am been looking for him ever since. His name Sebastian, very sweet and friendly. Not an outdoor cat please find and return him home. My son loved this cat. We are all heartbroken
Spotted at the intersection of Ouellette and Eugenie. Idiots like this are one reason the laws increase.
My neighbour was desperate for someone to remove the piles of moldy flooded basement stuff off her lawn. I called Bob about it & he was here inside of 20 minutes today. Then this wonderful man has now come back to empty out all the wet drywall & panelling from her basement to help her out. You have been spotted Bob, thank you so much for helping Marie.
You are an angel!
Everyone has to deal with pests from time to time, one of the tenants in my building has a Squirrels problem. The tenant in my building came out on his 6 floor balcony to use his BBQ at 7 am, and found a squirrels nest in his BBQ, he obviously hasn't used his BBQ all summer. As I approached the building after walking my dog, I could hear the angry screams of a MOTHER SQUIRREL. then I heard a different scream, the sound of a baby squirrel being ripped out of his nest in the BBQ and dropped to the patio floor. I then witnessed the tenant with a broom lift the baby over the railing and sent the baby hurling to the pavement right next to me. I yelled up to stop, but they had disappeared. I went in to get a box to put the possibly dead baby in. When I came out to get the baby, I noticed he was not dead his eyes were not even open yet, and he was moving and breathing. So I put him in the box and left him near the fence and the trees where I believe I saw the moma squirrel go. Needless to say when I saw the tenant again on his balcony I asked him if he really needed to do that. Attempt to kill an innocent baby squirrel... he told me to mind my F$%king business and that the squirrel had destroyed his BBQ. I asked if there were any more he would like to throw down, and offered to come take them away myself, in a more humane way. Again was told to F$%king mind my own business. So I told the tenant what he did was wrong and that he should have left them be and called building management, or pest control, or the humane society. Things like this really make you wonder , "WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE"

To the guy who originally posted this in another Facebook group. I hope this message reaches the owners.
Last nite at 10:10pm I was driving southbound on Huron line just past Grand Maris, when I saw a dog laying on the right side of the road,
He was alive still but in really bad shape,
3 to 5 yr old fixed male grey and black min pin mix
Blue plaid collar with an image of a male deer with antlers "buck" in yellow and black on it,
If the owner sees this I just want you to know that I held that dog in my arms and raced it the 24hr vet on walker Rd
They did everything they could but the dog had to be put down, very sad.
I want you to know that I held that. Dog and cried like he was my own,
He did not die alone,
And was comforted in his last moments.
I'm so sorry for your loss
And to the scum that hit him and kept driving I hope you rot in hell for ever for that.
Rip little buddy
I found a picture at Devonshire mall... it's dated 2005 and has the first names of 5 people on the back. It's taped together in many areas. I feel this might be important to someone. if you have lost one have it for you.
