I seriously thought they were going to get plowed down by a train. 😰😰😰 pic.twitter.com/W3FTZTO4Y4 — ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ • Carly (@CarlyAlmighty) May 23, 2019 This fella here, who apparently nearly had his lunch eaten by an oncoming train about 30 seconds after this video was shot, turns out to be an elementary school principal here in […]

Waterloo Region Roadside Fresh Food Map
When I was a kid, we generally lived either out in the country or close enough to it that it was a decent bet that we would find somebody selling corn on the cob and all kinds of other fresh fruit and vegetables while we were out driving around. And years later while Carin and […]
Happy ION LRT Day!

For all your #ReadyToRideION info visit https://t.co/IsSjr0liJz pic.twitter.com/JnriTMVPj0 — ION (@rideIONrt) May 8, 2019 It’s like two years late and truth be told I had zero faith in this June 21st date when the region announced it, but today, the new light […]
Want To Buy A Wroute Tesla?
I wondered what was going to happen to these things once the company went out of business, and now I have my answer. For a cool $117,000 Canadian, you can own one of Wroute’s 10 2017 Tesla model X cars. They’re also willing to let go of everything from winter tires to road maps to […]
So Long Wroute, We Hardly Knew Ye
I worried about this when it launched and eventually they started worrying about it too, but in the end, there was no saving it. Transportation company Wroute Inc. has suspended all operations in the face of lower than anticipated ridership. “Essentially it became apparent that the marketplace was just not present,” president Jason Hammond said […]
Jerry Howarth Is Coming To Kitchener To Sign Books And Talk About Baseball
I’m plugging this event for two reasons: It sounds like a fun night and I think I may want to go. Because whoever is in charge of making these decisions needs to know of my desire for an audio version of this book. One read by Jerry, provided his voice can handle it. Join us […]
Take One…Out Of My Pants
Somehow I missed this one last summer. When Rebecca McKay went to her band’s studio last week, she found something she never expected. A man, shirtless and sweating, allegedly masturbating to pornography on the band’s computer was sitting on the couch in the mixing room. He quickly tried to come up with a cover story […]
Wroute, Now With A Few Less Routes
One of the first things I said when I heard about Wroute, the service that will Tesla you between Kitchener and Guelph, is that I thought they were aiming too high out of the gate. Unfortunately, it seems they’re starting to realize that I was correct. The owner of Wroute said they expected there to […]
Grand River Transit Is About To Change Hundreds Of Stop Names
Not sure how much any of this is really going to mess anyone up, but the fact that Grand River Transit is changing the names of about 300 bus stops as of tomorrow morning seems like something worth a mention. The change is part of an effort to standardize the system and for “wayfinding purposes”, […]
You Can’t Spell Christkindl Without Christ
It’s not every day I agree with church people on something, but it’s hard to argue with them here. A controversy has surfaced from Kitchener’s Christkindl Market after a group of performers say they were silenced for talking about Jesus. Pastor Jacob Reaume had to shout his message at the opening night of the market […]
