Great people out there!

Last night my son went with a friend to the Spitfire game with the intention of buying tickets. As they were in line, a man asked "would you like some tickets?" They said," yes, just in line to buy." The man said. "Here you go!" And gave them 2 tickets for behind the players bench! The guys were thrilled! And went inside......after a quick look around they were approached again by another man in a suit who asked if they would like to sit in a suite! He had extra seats, it was just him and a friend and their sons, and they had room for more if they wanted to come! They said "YES!" Thank you! And proceeded to spend the game eating wings and pizza with some great people!
My son has special needs, and to see people reach out to him like this, to include him and make sure he had a great night makes me so happy. He was on top of the world when he got home! What a wonderful thing here people did! Whoever you are in suite 315.... A HUGE THANK YOU!!! You made a big difference in my sons world!!!!!

They're back....Door Knockers

Ontario Consumers and Summit Energy... New names, same old game...
Door knockers are back... These guys are from Ottawa..
I had 2 young men show up at my door tonight, polite enough... Wanted to upgrade my rental water heater, even after I told them several times that I owned my tank. Also trying to sell me on their hvac equipment , I asked to see their gas fitter tickets.. They are not certified, except as marketers trying to make a fast buck.
Be aware folks, if you didn't set up the appointment with a company you know, don't let these people in! You truly don't know who these door knockers are.

Fan-flipping-tastic Customer Service

Hadil & James at Wireless Wave, Devonshire Mall, are the people to see! The service today was outstanding. They are a broker and deal with Bell & Rogers & Virgin & Fido. These representatives checked every plan in order to find us the best deal.

And then they practiced great patience while making sure we knew how to use the phone before we left the store. They were so wonderful, I'm bringing someone back to them on Wednesday.

Great job! You made a typically dreadful task rather fun.

Please help to get my deceased brothers bike back

I need your help. Can you please share the hell out of this post! I need to find the person who did this and get my brothers bike back.

On March 28th,2016 I came home to find that someone had STOLEN my brothers bike off of my patio in the Ford/ Empress area. It's not just any bike. My brother Jared Mcknight, was murdered on May 31 2012. This bike was his life. He rode EVERYWHERE on this bike. If you saw Jared, you saw his hot green bike. It was even on display at his funeral. This photo is all I have of it, it's not the best photo but that bike is hard to miss!

Please help us get this bike back, it means more to us than you could ever imagine. There will be no questions asked, we just want it back.

If you have any information please PM Chelsea J Mayer on Facebook! Thank you so much.

Stop selling your homes to Toronto!

Dear current home owners and Real Estate Agents,


Please stop selling our community to the GTA.

After spending the last year trying to find a house to buy in Windsor and losing countless times to buyers from the GTA I am more than frustrated and I'm sure many others are as well.

These GTA buyers put offers on homes in our community not because they're looking to build a future here, they're looking to build equity. They don't live in these homes, they rent them out or they stay vacant. And countless residents in your community, your neighbours, friends, and family are unable to afford to compete with these individuals and are therefore left with a home.


How many someone from the unemployment capital compete with someone from the GTA when purchasing a home? They can't.

So I ask you, when accepting offers from your homes, try to sell to someone who is interested in your house for a home for their future. Not someone who discovered how good our housing market is and decided to place unrealistic for Windsor offers on homes.

Now I do understand why they're doing it and why both the home owner and the realtor will accept these offers, they want to make more money, but in the long run with offers like this consistently buying out Windsor, you're hurting Windsor to make a buck more. Soon Windsor I'll be a community in which the people who live here won't own here. They'll be renting from people who don't even live in the same community.
