Question OPP traffic blitz

25 Upvotes

I’ve seen four OPP cruisers and one curve lake police vehicle engaged in various forms of traffic enforcement today (radar, cars pulled over) between Highway 36, Buckhorn Rd, Division Road and Highway 28. I guess OPP is doing some sort of traffic blitz?

Where are your go-to restaurants with decent vegan options? Now that we’ve lost all of our veg-only places, I’m trying to figure out where still has solid vegan choices… bonus if it’s a sit down restaurant instead of take out.
Thanks!

Question Anyone have an Irish Wolfhound?

I have elderly friends who have owned and loved wolfhounds their whole lives. He's ill, and it would bring him so much joy to get to hang out with a wolfie again. Any chance someone has one and is willing to meet up to spread a little (big) doggie joy?

I haven't seen them in a really long time. Every time I go to a hardware store I look for them, but they're never there. I don't mind driving for a bit if you have a place to recommend outside of Peterborough. Thank you in advance!

Event Live, Local, Original Music Tonight @ Bobcaygeon Brewing

Post image
15 Upvotes

Just as the title says, we're hosting live, local, original music at the Bobcaygeon Taproom (649 The Parkway) tonight, featuring James Higgins and K-Stew. Having been part of the local entertainment discussions here, I think/hope this checks a lot of boxes for people, namely:

"All the music and shows are too late" - This runs from 7-10 PM, perfect time to come by after dinner before sleepy times.

"Everything is too expensive" - Pay What You Can event, no cover charge, $6 Pints/$15 Pitchers of Cottage Lager or $25 Pitcher and Pizza Deal. If you haven't had Cottage Lager, it's beer that tastes like beer, not overly hoppy/bitter or anything else you may associate with some craft beer.

"We're losing so many live music venues/I don't like to go downtown at night" - We would love to host live music at the brewery more frequently, but we need to see if people will come out to somewhere not downtown on a Friday night. We LOVE our downtown but I know some people are looking for alternate venues. We've never done a night like this outside of our big "Fest" events.

The taproom is a taproom, there's lots of beer there, but it's a welcoming space for EVERYONE and all ages with board games, foosball, shuffleboard, arcades, pizza, non alc drinks etc...

Anyway, that's our pitch, hope to see some of you there, come support local in a few different ways and make this event a success so we have some proof of concept that live music will work on The Parkway and I didn't sanitize my post history for nothing.

Event Northumberland Orchestra Society Begins its 49th Season on Sunday, October 25

20 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am the music director for the Northumberland Orchestra Society. Our 49th season is about to start with a Halloween-themed concert this Sunday. We have several members from Peterborough, so I would like to extend the invitation to this community, too.

We sincerely want to make it to 50 years so we would love your support by coming out to hear us.

The concert features brilliant works by Rachmaninoff, Mussorgsky, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and more. This is a great concert for families and first-time attendees with a lot of familiar music, and the performance will be musically rewarding for seasoned guests, too.

We would love to see the house filled to help ensure we make it to our anniversary season next year.

Please join us at 3:00pm at Trinity United Church in Cobourg.

Thank you so much!

Other Shoppers on Chemong Wtf

45 Upvotes

Edit: sorry, seems I jumped the gun here a little. As someone suggested, I was looking at Post Office hours. I guess they are open til 10 still.

Shoppers on Chemong went from 24hrs at one time to Midnight. Then they were open until 11 I think. 10pm close for the longest time.

I Googled the hours ahead of time tonight...10pm...big glowing sign on side of building says 10pm but the parking lot is mysteriously empty. Walk up to the door and it now says Mon-Fri close at 20:00. 8pm!!! Why would a store and pharmacy like Shoppers close at 8pm?? No wonder the line is always so fricken long. I won't use them but my mom does and I needed to get her meds.

Just very annoying and I needed a little rant.

I was just driving down charlotte street and saw a loose German shepherd with a collar and tags on running around. I didn’t notice anyone around with it and wasn’t able to take a picture as I wasn’t able to stop. Hopefully someone on here knows the owners or can locate the dog and reunite it with the owner

Recommendations Do any of you ever have extra protein for meals to be made for unhoused people in our community?

I know that groceries are expensive, but there are situations (like today) where I was able to get five cases of fish cakes accidentally delivered to a butcher.

Shout out to Franz Butcher Shop. Amazing humans. 🩷

I know it is a long shot, but I figured I would ask so that it doesn't go to waste

Thanks!
