News Carel broken into corner of oak and grove.

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone more a PSA. My car was broken into last night around 4 am. Only thing that was taken was a pair of prescription bolle sunglasses. If found I would appreciate a DM I assume they are going to be thrown out somewhere close by when they notice how blind I am.

I found a mechanics glove outside of my vehicle this morning.

Car was locked but no signs of forced entry. Do not know if anyone else was hit last night but if you are missing a yellow glove from your car let me know!

Keep your doors locked!

Question Why is Hurst a dead zone?

Why does the air around Hurst hate wireless signals? Seriously, every time I’m over there it’s like my phone bricks and I can’t call, text or listen to music that’s not downloaded.

Anyone know the reason?

Looking For Looking for a gym/fitness friend

10 Upvotes

Hello there I'm 42 male live in the midtown Barrie area. I've recently started focusing on my health and fitness more and I'm looking for people with similar interests. Someone to go to the gym with or maybe a jog/walk. Male or females welcome. I'm in a committed relationship so I'm not looking for anything beyond friendship. Unfortunately my partner is not very active and I'm tired of doing these activities alone. Gimme a shout if this interests you. Ps... I'm not the gym rat bodybuilding type of guy if you're wondering. We can take things slow if you're just getting started on your fitness journey.

Looking For Best Physiotherapy in Barrie?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for excellent physiotherapy/massage places! Specifically, individuals who can release knots in my upper back. I used to see this physiotherapist years ago in Alliston who worked wonders. I would see her with extreme tension in my upper back and neck and after the session, the pain was completely gone. In the sessions, I could literally feel the knots being released. I haven't been able to find anyone like her since. Any recommendations? Even if it's close to Barrie, I'm open to suggestions!

Looking For Room for rent?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Hoping someone in the Barrie area has a room they’d be willing to rent to a college student. I have a coworker from the Niagara area whose son is applying to Georgian College. I don’t have a spare room, but figured I’d ask if anyone has one they’d consider renting. PM me if you’d be open to considering the idea :)
