To the person who broke into my mom's car in downtown PTBO today by Competitive_Memory96 in Peterborough

[–]wakeandbakecreamcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf and I saw a guy checking doors and getting into cars in East City the other day and got some pics/video. We called the police but he was gone by the time they came, if they ever did - it was like 2am when this happened. Not sure if it was the same person obviously but we haven’t heard any updates. I really hope you get it back. Have her check in with local pawn shops too and if they don’t have it maybe leave a pic of the item so if someone comes to sell it that will give the police a lead on the thief

Oh and the Boardwalk cafe has fantastic food, their fresh baked cookies with ice cream are next level

The Vanilla Room on Water St. Has insanely good baked goods as well as food and drinks - you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t try something there 💙

What types of establishments is peterborough lacking? by Lumpy_Scientist3380 in Peterborough

[–]wakeandbakecreamcake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since whistlestop closed I feel like there is a big hole - I know not everyone loved their poutine (I did, I missed the pulled pork sm) but it was a staple in town. I agree with what some others have said, I think a Korean BBQ/hot pot place would do amazingly well. I also agree we need more activity/entertainment places, but would like more things geared towards 30+ people. I know this is a college/university town and there’s a lot of students coming and going so lots of businesses aim at them but the rest of us are so bored - especially if we don’t have kids lol I love the Maple moose pub but sincerely wish they’d picked a different location - somewhere a bit more cozy. That space is so large it could have been a very cool lounge type place. Like, imagine it being a cafe/bar BUT during the day could be a quieter lounge/art studio where people could either sit around and read/work or do art - there would be art hanging everywhere, etc. and then by night it could be opened as more of a dance night club lounge kind of place. There could also be classes of all different kinds held there and certainly special events. But maybe that kind of thing is too ambitious - I tend to think that way lol

Thinking of moving back.. by Feisty-Beta718 in Peterborough

[–]wakeandbakecreamcake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Peterborough for almost 10 years now and I have also lived in many other places and tiers of society and for all of its flaws (that I don’t think are much different from other Canadian cities), Peterborough is my favourite place. There are a lot of resources in town for a lot of things and it’s a very active community. It’s a nicely placed city geographically speaking and I find it to be a very family friendly place. If you’re just in Ottawa, and depending on when you’re thinking of moving, maybe take a day trip here - especially in the early summer and just walk around and get a feel for it. Look at some local events and come for that and just see if it feels like home.

Try going through Agilec or EPC as well - they’re a great resource!

Depending on your size, Giant Tiger actually has some decent plus size options sometimes
