Spotted : A few weeks ago I was walking with my dog on riverside and I noticed an older gentleman who was having trouble collecting papers that went flying around because of the wind. I helped him gather what I could and once we were done I walked over to him. I gave him what I had from what looked like very old letters. I asked him if he noticed anymore missing. I took a closer look and I noticed watery eyes. He said he accidently dropped his book that had all these letters in it, letters that him and his wife wrote each other throughout the years. I told him I would help him. Every letter had a number in the top right corner and he had a total of 195. He was missing page 17 and 77, so we started looking. A few others joined in after about 10 minutes of searching. At one point we almost had 15+ people looking for he last missing page 77. While looking he told me his wife had passed away 5 years ago and every now and then he pulls out these letters that they wrote to each other while he was away from her(before texting and emails). I broke down into tears just listening to him tell me the story. Suddenly we hear a scream from a distance. This middle age man was trying to run as fast as he could to us screaming "I FOUND IT" this old man was so anxious to see the last page to make sure it was the right one. I was so happy to see that page 77 was now in his hands again. I helped him count the papers one more time to make sure they were all there. To all those people who walked by and stopped to help, you are amazing. To that old man, I hope one day I find exactly what you found with your wife. It was so beautiful to sit and talk to him for that little while.


I just thought I would share this story, hoping it makes someone's day!

For those that don't know, there are two lanes for driving in before you reach the construction zone just past the Howard Ave. on ramp. Any driving prior to the "merge right" sign can be done in EITHER lane. There is no need to start merging two -three kilometers prior. I know you do it. That's all right. But please do not stop others from continuing to drive in the left lane. It is Illegal to purposely block that lane and prevent others from driving safely and within the law.

Have a great day, folks and let's keep traffic moving smoothly.

A big shout out to Met hospital xray ultrasound department very friendly staff I appreciate you and all you do on a daily basis

After noticing my tire pressure was low if pulled into Kal Tire on Jamsyl Drive in Windsor. I did not buy my tires there and have not been there before. Assuming I had picked up a nail or something I explained this to the young man at the desk who was very nice and said they would take a look. I waited about 20 minutes until he called me up to the desk. He explained that there was a hole and that they had put a plug in it. When I asked how much I owed him he said noting, they were happy to do it for me and hoped I would consider Kal Tire if I needed tires in the future. I definitely will. What a nice surprise that was.

Just want to give a shout out to the 3 separate officers (2 young men, and one female) we encountered at the river front, near Dieppe Gardens, yesterday, who were on traffic duty waiting for the Sikh parade to pass. Every one of these officers were smiling, kind to my daughters' inquiries, willing to engage in conversation etc.
Actually watched the parade while standing with one of them, and found her comments, observations etc respectful and interesting.
Fine job, officers!

We've lost our cat, Nitro, he's front paws are declawed, he's friendly but shy.
We are on Dennison, near Howard & Wallace. If you've seen him or have him plz call 519-791-4978; his family kisses him so much! Thank You!

We were at the Leaf restaurant yesterday for a Mother's Day lunch and three young (14 ish) ladies approached our table and handed the women at the table a carnation and said Happy Mother's Day when asked how much they wanted for the flower they smiled and said nothing. Such a nice surprise. I'm sure their mother's are proud of all of them.
