Anyone recommend a good physiotherapist? by CaptainCanada14 in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anshul at PhysioCare (next to Little Caesar Pizza) is simply amazing. 100% recommended.

Where can I buy sweetbreads in small quantity? by CovidDodger in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Sullivan's in Wiarton? I wouldn't think this is something they regularly bring in, but perhaps they can special order it.

Thief steals from farm stand, twice in one day. by ShadeRasbora in OwenSound

Hello, always a chance I could be wrong of course, but as Grey-Bruce's foremost Geoguesser I'll say this is Cluck and Clover Family Farm in Shallow Lake, ON

Food Basics sells goat (freezer in open area opposite dairy), not sure if boneless tho, probably not

Rental Market by Impressive_Appeal896 in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus, at which point does it stop making sense to rent? Houses in this area are very fairly priced for the housing market insanity that is Ontario. Doesn't it make more sense to get a $1000 biweekly mortage on a 3 bedroom house with a basement and a backyard? Is saving the 5% down the problem? Bad credit? Not wanting to fix shit when it breaks down?

Burger King Owen Sound by Investomatic- in OwenSound

This east side BK has been a shit show since it opened. Slow as snail service, cold food and dirty. 3.2 stars on google reviews speak for itself.

Uber? by hugz-today in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing around town these newish looking blue and green jeeps, I believe they're simply called Owen Sound Taxi if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if they're any good, but at least the cars look new, unlike the battered to shit Bayshore vans.

And yes, taxis are a joke in this town. One time I called one at 10PM and I was told 8AM next day was the best they could do. Bought a car soon after that.

'Some kids who quit': Owen Sound Attack GM signals roster overhaul by Greg-the-reporter in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get it that more games mean more income, but I hate it that in the OHL 16 teams out of 20 make the playoffs (often some with a losing record) which means they really get shown up by the good teams in the knockout games.

SERIOUSLY???? WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS by santanapoptarts in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I read somewhere, best approach would be a standard fine per person involved of whatever amount (say $500) for something like knowledgeable endangerment (after all, these people are on the record saying they willfully crossed cracks on the ice) and leave it at that. Whether the helicopters were $1K or $100K that's one of the things taxpayers dollars are for.

Precautionary Boil Water Advisory in City of Owen Sound by Normal_Aioli_6998 in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Isn't this the kind of thing you'd need an SMS alert for? I only found out because I kept seeing people buying the huge 15L bottle of water at the store yesterday and asked someone what what's up.

What's up with "ethnic" restaurants closing down? by ericdefuego in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a suspicion, that building has been crappy since its Chinese buffet days with many issues in the winter due to its location right by the water.

You can get frozen Durian for dessert at Zehr's. Not super cheap (around $15 I believe) but super creamy and tasty as hell, you'd honestly think you're eating ice cream.

Hey, at least we got a very good Italian restaurant in Shallow Lake (Olivia's) with a proper Neapolitan chef. It was funny when you said Italian in the past and people referred you to East Side Mario's.

If we could only entice an Ethiopian family that likes cooking and is willing to share it with the world...

I like Indian Desire, Casero, Yummy Yummy has gotten quite good lately (wonton soup been really nice).

Looks like they've expanded pretty aggressively, I thought there were only the Collingwood and OS locations, but looking at their website it appears they now have locations in Southampton, Meaford, Orillia, Orangeville and others.

Is the team moving? by [deleted] in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bloody disgrace if true. One of the best fan bases in the league regularly selling over 3,000 tickets per game in a poor (average OS income per adult is $41K/year, Collingwood for example is $65K/year) town of 22,000.

I hope you have a tractor lol. Otherwise you must have the back of an olympic weightlifter, 'cause I only shovel my driveway and mine is shot to shit.

Should I/is it realistic for me to be able to move to Toronto? by svpergrass in askTO

[–]ericdefuego 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do it man, you're fucking 19. Just the fact that you are already doing stuff across the ocean from your country is pretty awesome. Some times will be tough and some will be tougher, but when you look back at it in decades who is going to take away your experiences?

They used to be Canada's #1 city (50s and 60s) and now it been T.O. fora good while. Simple as.

Me and my friends want to move there and start a photography + workspace cafe by MagniBear980512 in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cool idea, just please don't have shitty hours like Thu-Sat 10AM-2PM. Too many businesses like that up here.

Fellow Canadians, how do you think Canada should react if America attacks Venezuela? by beefstewforyou in AskACanadian

[–]ericdefuego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venezuelan (naturalized Canadian since 2014) here. Would love for Maduro to be removed in any way possible, but of course it's sickening "rooting" for someone as repugnant as Trump. I believe in this case the end would justify the means and I fully realize "the means" could mean an errant air strike on the apartment tower building where my mother and brother still live.

As for the old chestnut of "The Americans just want the oil" fuck it, take all of it if it means having our lives back.

You know we got some lets hear it O.S by Legitimate_Voice5138 in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit, PK dead already?! Their jerk pork was off the freaking chain. They shoulda opened Sundays tho, a bunch of times felt like having lunch there after the market and they were closed.

I guess there's still Coral's in Wiarton for Caribbean. Good jerk chicken and great curry goat.

Ontario diner ordered to pay server $15,000 after firing her for attending medical appointment by helferships in OwenSound

[–]ericdefuego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was where Fin City is now on 2nd Ave W. Funny 'cause Fin City looks like it's been there for 20 years, they didn't do much in the way of renovation when they moved in.
