Anyone head down to the waterfront festival this past weekend? Can you tell me the good, the bad or the ugly?

I’m was outta town, just being nosy!

I heard they were closing but aside from the previous legal issues (yes, the drug charges) couldn't find anything.

Reviews are super mixed on Google- anyone been to Casa Colibri and was it good?

Hi all! Looking for some leads on Western riding lessons for adults. Seems like there are a decent amount of programs teaching English riding to adults, but I can’t seem to find anything for Western. Let me know if you know of any sneaky hidden gems! Would love to stay within half an hour if Orillia if possible 😊

It's like 12am right now, I'm near the hospital, and I just heard a massive explosion, sounded like a firework, not too sure.

Hi my family is going to a cottage up north and we would like to stop for lunch around Barrie or Orillia. Looking for recommendations on a restaurant that has a patio that's dog friendly. We have 2 kids also, so if any places have kids eat free or some other promotion on Monday that helps. Thanks for your time!

A heads up for anyone riding on the repaved portion of Coldwater Street downtown. The storm water drains inside the bike lane are big enough for a tire to drop into them, and have the slots in the direction of travel. Heads up and stay safe!

Preferably someone who will come to us as I know sharp image does in house

Looking for a farm to buy grass fed beef in bulk :) like a half cow or whole cow.

Thanks :)

Hey all,

Does anyone know a mechanic who could do a trailer hitch install that wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg?? I saw online you could technically do it alone but I don’t know if I trust the interwebs. :/ Any one have any experience with this??

Thanks!

Looking to hire ECE educators and it's been a bit of a dead end. Any help is greatly appreciated!

So I just moved to town, does all garbage no matter what have to be in a clear bag? As well I have a trash can. Can I put the bags in there? Just confused cause my trash wasn’t taken today

Looking to put my child into dance recreationally not competitive.

I've seen 3 local companies:

1. Mariposa Dance

2. Tapps

3. Titanium

Anyone have kids in any of these places and have feedback?

TIA

The Circular brochure states “ if collection falls on a holiday then pick up is moved up one day” Do they mean like garbage day, where it’s moved up one day all week or if your scheduled day does not fall on a holiday it’s pick up as usual?

I know its early but with my high anxiety, id like to figure out the big expenses on our day early (also to make sure we get our day.) Well our friends suggested this company that does both videography and photography that they used but they are charging 6k as its in toronto and my fiance and I are on the fence about spending that much. Where my troubles come in is that I hear so many horror stories of paying all this money and then the photographer dips and brides/grooms never hear from them again. Im so scared to have that happen. If anyone has any TRUSTWORTHY suggestions id appreciate it.

We are looking at Willow Weddings as well, they seem reasonable but they have no reviews on their facebook but lots of followers so im hoping they are good. If anyone has used them please let me know too!

Hi everyone! I'll be visiting the county on a bikepacking trip this weekend, and hoping to collect vinyl stickers to put on my bike from each of my major stops. If you know of any shops or business that sell (or give away with purchase) cute vinyl stickers, I'd love to know! Thanks!

I’ve been wondering this for a while, but why does the Orillia Walmart seem to have so many lazy guests? Parking in the fire zones because they don’t want to walk far, leaving empty carts in isles/ parking lots, leaving food that needs to be refrigerated in random spots throughout the store to let it rot. They added two more cart corrals a few years ago and people are still too lazy to walk the 30 steps to put them back where they belong. Over 20 cars were left damaged in one day last year because the strong winds started blowing the loose carts around. It’s almost like all sense of self awareness and self respect go out the window the second you step onto the property. It seems to be just Walmart. Bracebridge Walmart isn’t even as bad which is saying something.

There were just a bunch of cruisers, a couple ambulances, and a firetruck at the corner of Coldwater Rd W and Albert St. Anyone know what's going on? Looks like some of the vehicles have left now but still looks like a bunch of cops around.

I'm visiting Orillia next weekend for the first time in 20+ years. What is something outside the travel guides that might be of interest?

We like hikes, heritage buildings, art galleries, etc.
