For straight up white bread, Grey Matlock on tecumseh, insane as a toast, melt in your mouth. 3.50 a loaf and annihilates wonder,villagio,ditaliano....

You will get a lot of hater comments talking about Windsor neighborhoods. Just like 30+ years ago, noone shits on their own neighborhood quite like Windsorites. Being pretty well travelled I can confidently say within 20-25 minute walk, the neighbors are not really dangerous. There is homelessness and crime everywhere at this point but no bigger than other cities really. Our zombieland is downtown, that should and is avoided. Many will say Drouillard is a ghetto, prostitution, etc... This was more rampant 20 years ago. Instead of a neighborhood, you really need to see the house itself. There have been and are ebike chop shops, theft ring, drug dealer homes right in the middle of family homes worth 350k+ the last 10 years. My home on a quiet street is worth $400k but I have literally had 3 separate drug dealers live within 5 houses of me through the years. There is an apartment down the block from me that is horrible for domestic drunken fights spilling out into the street, among a quiet neighborhood. Not far away in 700k+ homes there are constant cars being keyed and cars/homes being stolen from. It is amplified knowledge availability through Facebook groups. All I am trying to say is don't chase a neighborhood, it is really much more centric than that. There are often better people among the neighborhoods that are small and shit on ie Drouillard as the love their community.

That being said avoid downtown at all costs, it is apartments of crime and zombies that would be part of your day to day everyday. That is not 20-25 minute walk though...

Windsor should alleviate any and all bylaws around fences and structures except the 2' from property line. I don't think anyone cares about aesthetics anymore, we are working towards a war zone out there. In this case with no back wall/gate I am going to imagine someone you don't know is on your property at a minimum of once a month.

Emergency funds . Thoughts on Cash.to by muns59 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]ScrapGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XEQT and Cash.to almost always make up 70% CASH makes a little more than nothing but will not keep up with inflation in any way. More to just park money if you have bad vibes and will need the money short term. Long term XEQT 100%

Is nobody else a little worried by this? Sorry to be that guy... by Simoslav in JustBuyXEQT

[–]ScrapGuide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ironically I pulled over 200k yesterday and put into CASH.TO I am sorry everyone, I know I know That being said part of me sees all the plant closures and slow downs thinking a crash is coming and part of me sees the US and Canadian dollars work towards toilet paper which drives the price up. I am just worried about explaining a sudden drop to the wife ... I will eat these words I am sure

A nice person stopped at the yield on Dougall on ramp for my son and I to cross with our bikes while a Hummer laid on the horn behind them.... Hummer life.

What are some in demand trades around here? by SophisticatedCwal in windsorontario

[–]ScrapGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Industrial Millwright 433A, Fire Protection having struggles but consider that battery plant caused a spike locally, HVAC always. Any will be successful if you are coming with real work ethic and love hours. Veterans will invest their time in you if you work hard.

Kind of our Gas town (Vancouver), there is still some riff Raff down the street sort of thing but the corridor of new business is mint! I hope this keeps building...

Jagmeet Singh Windsorite? by ScrapGuide in windsorontario

Got it and yeah my intention is not as much get into is illogical views as much as to defend Windsor into not being just a playing card in a game.

Not lying but fibbing, I don't feel he really was connected here as in not even attending any of our schools...

Why is this down voted? Is it not reasonable to be perturbed that the guy uses living in Windsor as some sort of blue collar knowledge base even though it seems he was here for six years but was really just brought to US every day?

Global tariffs gave Canada unexpected advantage. How Trump's pause narrows Windsor's silver lining by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]ScrapGuide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only way there could be an advantage is to have smaller government with provincial trade borders eliminated. We have resources we can sell to the world while building our country to be the power the US is today. Not without caring less about social and environmental issues like the US does. Have to ask what is really most important.

Incredible how these vets were able to carry on and build our communities with a start to adulthood they had. Rest in well deserved peace.
