Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
While watching a movie with my children tonight - all of a sudden there was a HUGE bang and all the power went out on our side of the street. I called Enwin to inform them of the situation and spoke with Jay who was super friendly and took all the information. An hour and 20 minutes later - after doing shadow puppets with the kids - the power came back on. Yay! Lettin my dog in from the back yard, an Enwin employee called over the fence to check and see if everything was back up and running!
So - to Jay and his coworkers - thank you for your quick and friendly service. You have been spotted :)
Big brown wallet with some design on it
My husband, myself & our children went shopping at fresh Co today (july 12, 2014) at around 1:30/ 2pm. On Tecumseh & Rivard. My husband was holding my wallet counting what money I had left for me. From there my husband figures he either placed it in the shopping cart while he put our son into the van or it fell out of the diaper bag as he was walking from the cart return back to the car.
It could have also fallen out when we stopped at the windsor airport near the windsor flying club doors. When we were showing our son the planes
This wallet has all my Id as well as my kids ID (sin # & health card) as well as some money (I know exactly how much but that's not the most important)
It would be greatly appreciated if it has been found that it be returned both myself & my son have constant health issues.
If the wallet is returned with everything inside there is a huge reward !
Amazing atmosphere and spirit had by ALL players and parents at our FREE camp today. Special Guest Luke Willson stopped by to talk and sign autographs with everyone. Class act by a Super Bowl Champion from Windsor/ Essex County and LaSalle native. Cheers Luke!!

I was shopping yesterday at Canadian aka Crappy Tire, this older woman was looking for a faucet that she had seen on sale in the flyer. She asked me if I knew about it, I didn't so I was helping her look. The Canadian Tire sales associate approached us so I went on my way to shop, then all I could over hear from the next isles over was that the sales man was being extremely rude to the lady! She had an accent but she had no problems speaking or understanding English. However, the sales man had a problem listening and being a good helper. The sales man was also being sarcastic and dismissing her inquiry rudely and the sweet lady didn't even say a thing to him about his unprofessionalism but It angered me so much that I walked back over there. How he was acting was just ridiculous and extremely inappropriate. He also was trying to snuff her off and say "Like I already told you I don't know, the price tag is gone and there isn't any flyers here to check!!!!" -COME ON...You work here!!! Sorry for requiring you to do a little work rather than wander the isles and try to look busy; omg I did not appreciate how he spoke to this lady, Her (italian, romanian maybe) accent, does not make her deaf either! In an attempt to fix the situation, I simply went back there and asked the lady if she found what she was searching for? She told me the sales man was looking. So I then asked him if he knew which is the one that was on sale? He didn't. He had a scanner in his hand so I asked him politely can you just scan it to find out? He said there were no price tags to scan so I said couldn't you just scan the boxes to find the one on sale then? In a huff he sarcastically said "ya, but I'd have to find it." I said okay!! He started looking again, and the lady thanked me. Social Justice starts before school is over and the degree is earned. I wouldn't care if you had to scan every bar-code in the store, It's your job! Don't act like customers are bothering you, you are working and getting paid for providing customer service. POOR customer service at that! PS: A slight language barrier/ accent does not give you the right to be a bully!
If you hate your job, retire all ready. SMILE! You've been spotted!

To the fire starters who went up and down Village Drive early Friday morning and set all of the trash cans and Windsor Star newspaper bundles on fire, you've been spotted. We have a description and will be watching from now on.
You even set a bundle on fire beside a parked car. Could have been a lot worse. Get a life.
My son lost a cheque I had given him to give to our vet. He had last seen it while at his bank. He noticed it missing when he went to pay for his purchases at Walmart. He notified me immediately. Worried sick this cheque would fall in the wrong hands, I called the Walmart store to see if someone had found it and turned it in. The woman who took my call couldn't get me connected to anyone who would be able to help me. Helplessly I hung up the phone and decided to drive to the store and see if the cheque had been turned in. The answer was no. I went home and called my bank's 24 hour service to see if anything could be done to stop payment on the cheque. I was told it couldn't be done but they would put an alert on my account. Not feeling better about the missing cheque I resigned myself to a few days of worry. Not five minutes after hanging up with my bank my phone rang. I answered and a kind voice asked if I was so and so. I said yes I was. Then that angel of a woman said "well I found your cheque. You can stop worrying." Instantly a burden was lifted off my shoulders. This wonderful women had noticed the cheque laying on the ground in the parking lot of her bank and picked it up. When she got home she immediately called me because she knew I would be sick with worry. She gave me her address and I went and picked up my cheque. There are truly honest people in this world and I was blessed to have met one of the best today. I am so grateful to this lovely woman. So lovely lady thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have been spotted.
Spotted: around 10:00pm at the Tim hortons on Huron church and techumseh, to the older man that offered to buy my 3 year old nephew two donuts today because he saw there were two vanilla dip left and he wanted them. Thank you for brightening up our night! He is loving those donuts!
At the Macs' on Walker Rd by Red Sail I was standing behind a gentleman who was having his lottery tickets scanned. He commented how he usually wins on the $1 ones, and sure enough he had a $5 winner. "Know what I do with this?" he says with a smile? He then placed it on the counter saying that it should cover the cost of the things in my hand. Going out to my car, I saw him chatting very kindly to a young couple with a baby before he got into his van. What a wonderful spirit on a Friday afternoon.
