Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
To the gentle man who ran through a stop sign over by Queen Victoria Public School in Windsor this morning. MY children and I had already started to cross when you came barreling through and only stopped when you heard me yell. I know that you are in a hurry, so was I and many other parents and children. However, you will not get to where you need to be any quicker if you hit someone. In the mornings and afternoons, there are kids out and they deserve to be able to go to school and home from school safely.
To everybody, when you are near a school, take your time, don't ruin your day and someone else's. Remember, this could be your child, your child's friend.
Found a wallet in parking lot corner of Wyandotte and Pelissier. (Beside Pho Maxim) Please spread the word. I'll probably bring it into the police station tomorrow.
To the disrespectful little hood rats that came into the PetroPass around 6:30pm in the little blue Mazda ...thank you ever so much for leaving a giant mess and clogging up the toilet in my bathroom...then flipping me the finger as you drove away. Your parents must be so proud...YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED!
As I was leaving the parkin lot with my friend (on wyandotte behind TD bank ~ towards the garden resteraunt) a car is coming in so I stop and pull to the sides so they can get through. He stops his car and comes out screaming at us to move our car swearing up an down(keep in mind were two young girls who are just waiting and trying to be polite so we can leave the working lot)
He was shooting the middle finger. It was just confusing because I didnt even move after an he was able to leave ? I just dont understand people these days your a grown man you should act your age !!!
Just a shout out to the nice lady at the Hotel Dieu Ouellette campus hospital downtown Windsor. Long story short I was stuck in the exit of the parking lot. The very old metre took all my money but wouldn't let the gate open to let me out. So basically I was stuck there and couldn't get out and the nice lady come up behind me and used her money and let me out and then had to pay another four dollars for herself to get out ...So what should've cost 8 dollars for both ended up costing $12... grateful for decent caring ppl like you .. you made my day brighter
I saw a post on here last night about an "annoying man in jackson park" and I just wanted to say that I know what they are talking about. The man they described is older with shoulder length gray hair and he is almost always wearing an army style uniform. He has a yellow colored dog and is usually on a bike. He seems harmless but it is true that he is almost always in the park. I live in the neighborhood between mcdougall and howard so me and my two children spend alot of time in the park when the weather is nice, especially when they were still playing pokemon, LOL!
But it is true no matter what time you go he will be there and it often seems like he is patrolling the park. I have taken my children to the park as early as 6 am and he is already there, and other times we have sometimes been there passed 10 pm and he will be there too. To be honest I remember the first time i noticed him I thought he was an undercover policeman searching for someone. He was making big circles around the park and while my children were playing soccer I saw him pass by six or seven times.
I have no personal problem with him but as a couple of the commenters on the last post said, he is quite pushy and doesnt take no for an answer. Running into him usually means you have a five minute conversation unless you are "heading the same way" and he walks with his bike along with you. This is ok for me because when I am in the park I am going out for fresh air, not in a rush to work or tims LOL. But it is consistent that he will want to stop and talk if he is not already with someone else.
My kids call him "army man and soldier dog" and have imagined that he is hunting the bad guy soldiers through the park LOL. They do not mind him, but my youngest is afraid of larger dogs and at first he would get upset and cry because the man insisted that we all say hello to the dog. I was angry about this at first but I understand that this is his way of introducing himself and now both my kids know that chopper is a "good soldier dog".
So while I ersonally am ok with him and I do think he is harmless I can certainly see why someone who doesnt want to talk or is in a rush to work might be annoyed enough by him to post on here. I am not a dog owner myself but I have seen other people with dogs try to avoid him by cutting across the grass as their dog is territorial and already growling and pulling at their leash but he will circle around and follow them across the grass and there will be a scuffle between the dogs. And I have seen him stop and talk to other people and even put himself into weddings that happen in the park, so it is fair to say that his idea of boundaries might be different than someone elses.
As a family with a son with special needs we are always worried about how the community reacts and treats our children.This morning at 7/ 11 the bill for a young man who thought his bill was 15 cents not 15 dollars and this wonderful women paid for this young man's bill.It was so heart warming and gives me a reason to believe our children will be ok within our community. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Someone has decided to hang dollar store crap in the Devonwood Conservation Park. I go there to enjoy nature and take pictures. Someone has hung brightly coloured bird houses and hand written signs throughout the park with old rusty SCREWS tapped into the trees....
I'm sure I'm not the only one that isn't enjoying the new scenery...I go there to get back to nature, not the dollar store...
