Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
Just wanted to give a special shout out to the young lady at Lowe's on Walker Road. Her name is Lith. I had been looking for some type of clasp to secure my grandson's soccer net more securely. She showed me a number of things that could have possibly worked and then had a brilliant idea which she helped me with! If you are reading this Lith---thank you from the bottom of my heart...and btw---IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY!
On St Patrick's Day, I was informed my parents were in a car accident. Thankfully they were ok, but the car was totalled. A young lady had ran a red light at Lauzon and Wyandotte, and hit my parents so hard that car spun in almost a complete circle and were inches away from hitting the Riverside Tavern. She lied to the police and said it was my parents who had ran the red light, but luckily someone happened to have a dashboard camera opposite of my parents, and had the whole thing on film. THANK YOU TO WHOEVER FILMED THE ACCIDENT AND SENT IT TO THE WINDSOR POLICE. It saved my parents a lot of money and stress. Many people don't want to get involved, but I am SO HAPPY you did!!
Yesterday the WindsorEssex Community Foundation launched its 2015 Vital Signs® Survey.
The purpose of the Vital Signs® Survey is to collect data of Windsor-Essex residents' views of local issues affecting their community. The results from this survey are combined with local and national data to provide residents with an all-encompassing “community check-up” on important issue areas affecting their community. The results from this survey will be used to construct the Vital Signs® Report, which will be released on October 6, 2015. The Vital Signs® Report is the voice of the Windsor-Essex Community.

To the crossing guard on Laurier and Mayfair in LaSalle I want to say BRAVO. Your decision to not allow the woman with the two dogs to keep allowing her two dogs to go on the side walks that children and seniors walk daily. It was priceless to see the woman's face drop when you took her picture and told her you were reporting her to the police cause you were tired of seeing this everyday. Thank you for taking care of the school children and also for caring for our neighbourhood!!!
Found in the 8500 block of Riverside Dr. East a very friendly 9 month old? Shepherd, Husky & Lab mix, She really misses her owners. I will take her to the Vets tomorrow and see if she is micro chipped, but if anyone recognizes her please let me know asap
To the scum bag who decided to help themselves to my purse at the Playdium bowling alley in Windsor, thank you for taking advantage of a children's bowling event and using it to swipe my purse. Not only did it contain my iPhone, wallet and work id it also had my keys in it which caused me and my little cousin to be stuck at the bowling alley waiting for a tow truck so that you couldnt take my car too. I am asking anyone who finds a floral wallet, iphone in a purple elephant case, a brown satchel or a set of keys on a new england patriots lanyard to turn it into the police. Seriously you suck.
Update: Windsor police with the aide of a couple passing by on a jet ski, rescued a middle aged man from the Detroit River after the man entered the water near the foot of McKay and Riverside.
Ambulance attendants arrived and transported the man to hospital. He was conscious while being wheeled to the awaiting ambulance.
Way to go #windsorpolice and #goodsamaritans.
To the lady in the pink shirt at the Superstore on Walker on Tuesday around 1:00 pm. You toddler was screaming and throwing tantrums the entire time you were shopping. I had tears in my eyes thinking about your struggle. I want you to know: you were doing a great job and you are not alone. We've all been there. Hugs to you.
