Review New food truck

Post image

I recently learned about a new food truck called Dad’s Burgers that opened last month. They’re in the Legion parking lot near Cundles and St. Vincent.
Great smash burgers, fries are delicious, but the onion rings are my favourite! Picking myself up some dinner tonight. Third time eating here already!

Other Shout outs to first responders today

Within 20 minutes, I saw 2 accidents (one on bayfield and one on Cundles) and was passed by another police cruiser and ambulance heading the opposite direction. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many emergency service vehicles in such a short span of time responding to different calls.

Not interested in the barrie cycling club something a little more casual, not as competitive.

Other Phone Scam Warning

20 Upvotes

Beware of a phone scam.
I answered my phone today and after saying hello the first thing the caller said was “Can you hear me?”
Remembering the scam where they want to get you to say “Yes.” I answered “I can hear you.” and then the person just hung up.

From what I remembered they get you to say “yes” then use that recording as though you’ve agreed to their “deal”

Other 40 M Looking for friends

41 Upvotes

Hey there,

I am looking for a real connection. I am not as particular about one's gender but I kinda feel like a male would be more fitting with what I want. However, if you don't identify with that but really resonate with this feel free to reach out. As well, obviously you dont have to align with all my interests but the more, the better we would get along.

Male friends have been very elusive for me throughout my whole life. I have had a lot of "best friends" that fade or fall apart for whatever reason. I'm looking for that one that we can just enjoy being together and supporting one another with all of life's struggles. The world is deeply isolating and it seems that its even harder these days to meet people.

About me:

Im 40 and currently living in Barrie. I moved here within the last few months. Im originally from Alberta. I first came out this way in 2018 to do my MA at the U of T in sociology. After that I just never left as there was so much for me to enjoy out here.

Being trained academically within sociology, I am a feminist at heart. I have always dreamed of a world where people are free of the restraints of social constructs like sex, gender, class and race. I do not align with our current "political system" but Im quite far left and can struggle with a lot more conservative ideologies. I come from a place and family that is deeply conservative, and though I understand why they believe those things, its something that for me is extremely problematic. That being said, I do not believe that our current political system at this moment is really ready to push the needle.

I love sports. Whether it be playing them or watching them. Hockey is my biggest passion by far. Huge fan of the Oilers and Jays. I also like to play rec league hockey or golf in my free time. If those are things you love then we will definitely get along. I also got into tennis a few years ago and would love to find someone to play with.

As well, I love being in nature. Whether it be camping or hiking, its always been something that calms me down. As well, I love just being at the beach or sitting in a park in my downtime.

I am a pretty big reader and lately have been drifting more into fantasy and Sci-fi though I will really read anything. I used to read a lot more philosophy and academic literature but at times its just so god damn heavy. I enjoy not having to understand an entire philosophy to read.

I am 420 friendly. I have not drank for over 3 years and Im not opposed to drinking, but I like to pick my spots as hangovers suck at this age. I also used to rave quite a bit and deeply love electronic music.. mainly house. I have tickets for a couple of upcoming shows in Toronto and would love to have someone to tag along.

I do have a vehicle and have no issues with driving. I used to have a buddy a couple hours away and we would find time to chill every now and then.

If this resonates, feel free to send me a DM. Again, Im open to anyone but I have a feeling like what Im looking for is most likely a male.

TLDR

  • loves sports
  • plays hockey, golf and tennis
  • 420 friendly and into house music/raves
  • loves camping, hiking and being in nature

Looking For Looking for a licensed gas fitter in Barrie area

2 Upvotes

My natural gas fireplace (builder-installed in the early 2000s) was recently red-tagged by Enbridge because they were unable to locate an accessible appliance shutoff valve. The fireplace itself works fine, but I need a licensed gas fitter to install the required shutoff valve (if missing), perform a leak test, and provide documentation so I can have the red tag cleared.

Looking for recommendations from anyone who's had good experiences with a local company. Thanks!

Yesterday I was going south on Sunnidale and I was stopped at a red light at Wellington.

I did not have my indicator on.

I got honked at by what I can guess is someone thinking I was turning right?

They proceeded to use the left turn lane and literally went around me. I almost hit the guy who tried to follow.

Please don't assume. I use my indicator when warrented and I don't run red lights.
