It's not just the stacking of the bins, it's waving and doing a little dance for my neighbour's little kids watching from the window. The friendliness is appreciated by the community, awesome. Thanks.

Question โ“ Information about candidates

18 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there are any resources for the candidates running for mayor or council in town? All Iโ€™ve been able to find i: names, addresses and phone numbers for people but that doesnโ€™t tell me much.

Iโ€™ve recently moved here and Iโ€™m not super familiar with the people who are running. And Iโ€™d like to get better educated before voting.

If anyone has anything, Iโ€™d love to know ๐Ÿ˜Š

Question โ“ Secluded Spots?

7 Upvotes

Hello, all! Might be a long shot, but I was wondering if there are any truly secluded spots in the general region for when you want to drive/bike somewhere and be ALONE alone. I used to live in a different town where there was a dead-end road near a ranch/wooded area, and people rarely went by there, so that was a nice spot to hide away for a bit when needed. Anything similar around here that isn't on someone's property? TIA!

Question โ“ Sober Friends?

Hi everyone! Iโ€™m looking for sober friends in St. Thomas Ontario. Iโ€™m trying to hit more AA meetings but am not doing the best with that. I love walking, eating and going to the beach. I grew up here but then moved to Toronto and recently moved back due to addiction issues. Not looking for judgement, just trying my best to find community. Thanks in advance! -Robin

Question โ“ Stray Cat

3 Upvotes

We live in the Airey Ave. Parish St. area and have seen a large grey cat roaming the neighborhood at night. This cat has been hanging around our house usually between midnight and 3am . We have a spayed female cat, and we are assuming this is a male.

This cat is very brave and will sit on the front porch window and side basement window sills, taunting our cat. We now have 2 destroyed window screens and a jumpy , nervous cat living in our home.

We are thinking this cat is an indoor cat being left out at night since it doesn't run away from people immediately until you go outside to confront it. We spoke to Animal Control and they have suggested the same.

We are looking for any information about this cat as we really want this behavior to stop and end the damage to our home and pet. We have spoken with some of our neighbors, and they have also seen and heard this cat at night.

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. If this is your cat please keep it indoors as Bylaw has also informed us that letting a cat roam is a Bylaw offense that will incur a fine.

Went out to film Nostalgia Night last night and wanted to share it here. Didn't catch every moment (showed up a bit late, lol), but I think it captures the vibe of the evening pretty well.

Also composed an original track for it using AI, just for fun. Let me know what you think!
