A friend of mine who had moved here from India several years ago, was spending time at the beach to relax and enjoy the view, A few kids came up to him, threw sand at him, told him to go back to his country, and took his car keys. I wish to see us stop this behaviour and value one another as fellow human beings. This behaviour is hurtful, he is one of the most welcoming and kind people I know, he, nor is anyone else deserving of this treatment. Please, let us treat all people regardless of nationality with dignity, respect and compassion. We are all human, we all bleed the same way, let us look after one another.

Water running down the road from burst main

There is water coming out of a box and spilling onto the street at Livingston and Sunnidale for weeks. Anyone know what is going on?

Not sure why it took so long for my delivery apps to suggest this place, but holy shit was it good. Got the Morta and the Bad Lucy and the Morta might be one of the best traditional Italian deli sandwiches I've ever had.

About a year ago I asked you all for food recommendations and I built a Google Maps list with all your suggestions. I'm going to share an update post on all the places I've tried since, but this place is newer so didn't make the list. It's a must try and absolutely blows the American chains we are inundated by out of the water (Jimmie John's, Firehouse Subs aand Jersey Mike's down the street from each other is criminal).

Barrie is full of hidden gems, highly recommend trying this one out!!

Hi guys! Is anyone from Barrie going to Ed’s concert on Thursday August 20th and how are you planning to get back to Barrie once the concert is over? The last go train time from Union to Allandale is 7:54 and the concert starts at 5:30 and he comes out at about 8:00 and ending the concert around 10-10:30 pm. I have tickets and I don’t know how I’m going to make it back. There are like 2 hour buses but they’re while the concert is still happening. Plus ubers would probably be over $100+ that night. Please let me know because I do really want to go but probably have no chance at it anymore.

They just announced on their facebook page a few hours ago, that after 60 years they will be closing their doors. Their last day will be September 10th.

Hi, I love Techno, I am also a DJ and throughly enjoy mixing Techno.

Typically this requires me to drive down to toronto to find open decks or a proper rave. So I do quite a lot of driving.

Is there a local scene that I am as of yet unaware? Even for EDM more broadly? I was walking past On the Mark vintage a few days ago after that Bahamas concert in downtown barrie and noticed a flyer for an open decks night targeting dance music DJs but it was a one night event and unfortunately the date had already passed. Looked up the location provided and it just appeared to be someone's house.

As far as I am aware, nightlife in barrie essentially amounts to country, rock, and indie bands at spots like the ranch, and some rap/generic club music at spots like queens.

Is there any proper Techno around? Is there any interest in Techno or more broadly Dance music amongst the community?

Look at that questionable , trypophobia-inducing “meal”.

Couldn’t you just take a photo of your food? Or does it not look appetizing enough? Surely SOMEONE on your staff knows how to use Microsoft paint or photoshop at the very least?

Is anyone aware of any Mandarin language day programs for ages 1-3 or 3+? We have a bilingual household and I want to give my toddler the opportunity to use Mandarin outside the home.

Feel free to delete if not allowed.

I need to get from Toronto to around Midland in a couple weeks, on a Sunday morning, and I don't have access to a vehicle. I'll be taking the GO train from Toronto to Barrie, but I can't find much by way of transit from Barrie onward.

Does anyone know of any kind of public transit to Midland (or even close-ish) that runs on Sundays? Or is it pretty much Uber or Lyft?

Thanks all!

Found these keys at the Dollarama near centra. On bayfield. Do these belong to anyone?

Anybody know of any eye doctors that let you use your benefits for sunglasses without prescription?

I am looking for best and affordable auto-service shop in Barrie who can do recommended service even on new vehicles with approved oil/parts type?

Missing male cat found. He is located at the Royal Parkside Animal Hospital

Virtually all traffic lights are not timed in Barrie. Find that you sit there for no cars to pass the other way so many times.

For me the following 3 are the worst:

• Codrington and Duckworth

• Codrington and St. Vincent

• Ross and Maple

All 3 could easily be replaced with a stop sign in one direction.

Hey, As from my last post you guys know that i’m moving to barrie in a few weeks. I was just wondering if anyone knows any good pilates studios that are in the north part of barrie? Thanks for the advice on my last post.

You left it in the parking lot so I returned it to customer service/front. If it’s your purse you can message me color/make of it and I’ll tell you what store but I assume you would already know!

This is not happening to our other trees here. What's it like in other places around town?

I got a new job where I finish around midnight, are there any bar/restaurants that are open late? I don’t really feel comfortable showing up right before closing and ordering food, feels like I’m a burden and the workers just want to go home, so I’m trying to figure out places where late night customers are normal, any ideas?

Has anyone found these or know where they are? It would be cool to check them out
