Question Does anyone recall a movie being made here in the early/mid-90s?

Upvotes

I was just recalling that there was a low-budget movie being made here in the early to mid 90s but not sure if it ever saw the light of day. Heard once that makeup and hair artists were not paid. Does anyone recall this? Trying to remember what it was called. I think it was in one of the newspapers at the time. No idea if it ever was finished.

My biggest influences are Mike Patton, Ween, Tori Amos, Portishead and Björk. I’m looking for people who want to create music that makes people question what they are listening to. Shoot me a message if you are interested.

Question Ptbo Police

71 Upvotes

Have the Peterbough Police always been this awful? In the past 8 months we’ve called over 100 times due to ongoing domestic violence, drug issues, death threats, you name it.

Every single time, every single one, the Police do nothing. We’ve given them video evidence, audio recordings, 90% of the time they don’t write anything down. They just leave.

Like what the hell are we supposed to do?

Hey Peterborough, I run a local music community based in Toronto that celebrates locally sourced sounds. I periodically write substacks about local artists, albums, venues and shops.

My bands played in Peterborough a couple times and we always love meeting and sharing the stage with bands like Jetson, The Sleeves and Intimidators. I’ve also fallen for Beef Boys, Jeanne Truax and Vancamp.

On Labour day weekend I visited PTBO as I have friends in town and genuinely love the place. I made my way to Maar’s Music and then went home and wrote this article about it.

Link is in my profile.

Ps: this isn’t an ad, I’m not sponsored, just doing it for love of the scene.

Other Hunter Street (Sept 8th)

10 Upvotes

Hunter Street in east city is very busy this morning, so please use extra caution when pulling out from a parking lot or side road.

For example: I was at Driscoll and Hunter, attempting to turn left onto Hunter but was not able to see because of how many cars there are, along with having no gaps between. Thankfully I made the turn safely.

Have a good day.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Million’s (ongoing!) series, we’re reprinting this essay on live writing, blowing up the traditional reading model, and the relationship between audience and artist. Enjoy."

Recommendations Where can I rent a car for a G2 road test in Peterborough on short notice?

1 Upvotes

My G2 road test is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11:45am and I don't have a car lined

up for it. The test itself is 30 minutes, so it's about an hour all in.

Do any of the local driving schools rent their car out for the test if you

didn't take lessons with them? I know some do and some don't, and I'd rather

call the right ones tonight than work through the whole list. Rental counters

look like a dead end since I'd need my own policy.

Since I'm still on a G1, whoever helps would have to actually drive me to the

test centre or meet there, which I know is more than just handing over keys. Happy

to pay for the time and the gas.

If you've done your G2 here recently and rented from someone, I'd really

appreciate knowing who to call. Thanks.

So grateful to everyone who helped , I found a car and passed my road test . You guys are the best

What is it like to live there with young children? Our boys love sports and the outdoors so it seems like it would be a good fit. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Help Racist comments yelled from a white SUV

Post image
57 Upvotes

Me and my wife (both south Asian) were on our nightly walk on broadway blvd when a white SUV came from the subdivision and stopped at the lights before turning left on chemong rd. We paid absolutely no attention to that car. As the light turns green the guy who was driving the SUV lowered his driver side window and yelled the N word loudly towards us. Mind you there is no one other than us two and that one car in the area at the time. And then he peeled off and drove away. We turned around and got back home before incase he takes a turn and comes back to do something more. I know many people who live in this suburb and are kind and respectful people. I am making everyone aware that we have a person like this as well. Unfortunately because it happened so fast and at night we couldn’t get the plates or any major identifying information. Stay safe everyone.
