Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
An article in the windsor star recently said how the city is seeing less skunk related phone calls and the city claims to have the problem "under control". I think all the cities skunks just came to Remington Park!! Almost every night of warm weather you can smell it, that horrible strong skunk spray. To anyone living in Remington, please please please deal with your skunk issue! Clean up any areas they could live, don't leave garbage lying around and call a company if you can't get rid of them! It's not just effecting you and your property, but everyone else who lives here too.
My mother and I have shopped at this Mall for the last 6 years. We enjoy our weekly shopping adventures especially buying our lottery tickets at the customer services booth. We are not sure if Kim is employed by Tecumseh Mall or Cnib. But either way these employers should know how amazing this lady is. She is truly a wonderful individual and goes beyond what is expected of her. Thanks Kim for all you do for my Mother during our visits to the mall.

owing for the last 5 years.The number was 613-909-0273.He said he
was calling on behalf of Canada Revenue Service. My friend actually

A huge THANK YOU to basically all of Devonshire Mall. About a week ago, I brought a fairly large group of Chinese Exchange students to the mall to pick up some basics they had forgotten (toiletries, shoes, and the like). As this experience is totally new to them, everything took a bit longer than usual...some charades, some interesting translations, and some extra time needed.
I was worried the students would see impatient Canadians and have their experience tainted - however I am happy to report not only did no one around us complain, some were even jumping in with translation help, or directions to different stores in the mall!
Special shoutout to the lady at the information desk, who helped them highlight where they needed to go on their maps, our waitress at Moxies who was patient and helpful while we worked through currency and tipping, and the Starbucks employees in chapters! We were a confused cluster, but thanks to your help we were able to get what we needed for the students.

A man came to the door and wanted to come in and check our water main. He said they are checking the neighbourhood because of elevated water levels. He makes it sound like he is with the city but his badge says EcoGlobal and they try to sell you air conditioners and water heaters.
When I said that I wasnt letting him in he said,"if you think i am too scary then maybe i can come back when your husband is home".
I said that we don't let anyone in who we don't have a contract with and he again started spouting about the water and the danger...
That's when I just shut the door. But because he did not identify who he worked for or what he was really doing there, I could see someone letting him in thinking he was from the city or Enwin.
So be warned!
Today I had called Taras Natyshak's office to get some help. I am an O.D.S.P. receipent and have recently aquired a full time job that would help me get off of O.D.S.P. I had submitted a request to my case worker earlier this week asking for funding for safety boots and safety glasses. After not hearing anything from my case worker, I went in this morning and inquired about it. Not only did I get his answering machine AGAIN, the man at the counter ( which he was at the counter earlier on this week when i handed my request in) says to me, oh you need this form. Why wouldn't he say that to me earlier on this week when i brought the info in. I even brought a invoice in for the amount of safety shoes and glasses in. I need these items today or I will not be able to start this job come monday morning.
After I explained this to the MPP receptionist, she said that she will contact the office and do her best to get things covered. But here is the best part. The receptions from Taras Natyshak's office then asked me what size shoe I wore. So I proceeded to tell her, and that's when she laid it on me. She said Miss if I cant get anywhere today with the O.D.S.P office, I would like you to come to this office tomorrow , as I have a pair of safety boots at home that I am not using, I will bring them in and you can have them to start your new job on Monday.
As soon as she said that, I began to cry. This woman does not know me whatsoever and for her to tell me that she will give me a pair of safety boots for work so I can better my life, meant the world to me.
Random act of kindness and compassion from this woman , meant a lot to this girl over here. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your act of kindness will always stay with me and I will be sure to pay it foward. So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! yOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED :)
To the people (and doggy) in the black SUV in the drivethru line at Starbucks (Huron Church) on St Patrick's day at 9:00 pm: Thank you soooooo much!!! We pulled up to the window to learn that our drinks had been paid for. We were having a great day celebrating our daughter's 5th birthday and I thought things just couldn't be better. Thanks for the reminder that people, even strangers can be just genuinely nice in a fun way.
