It’s always amazed me that a little restaurant in Meaford could have a line-up every night of the week. But it’s true and, it is called the Leeky Canoe. Some time ago, the Meaford Express ran a fairly substantial article about the restaurant but it doesn’t explain the success entirely. My opinion is that a) [...]
Gees, they’ve only been open about six weeks and they already have over 300 “Likes” on Facebook and already have reviews on Yelp, Trip Advisor and FourSquare. It seems that The Smoke has captured some attention around town. The Smoke is an eat-in and take-out eatery located on the south side of First Street between [...]
Yes, we have rodents in the Collingwood and Blue Mountain areas. C’mon, you didn’t think we were immune to it, did you? Why is it that buyers are so shocked when they find out rodents infiltrate homes here too? Sheesh. You should see the bats at our house! I can’t tell you how often I’ve [...]
I’ve been on the run a bit this week but had a few things I really wanted to share with you. Kate and Wills are expecting!! Sorry about that. I’ve heard it so often in the last 72 hours and that it’s playing like some catchy tune in my head. The news appears to be [...]
