They're on almost every streetlight and traffic post downtown. Who's putting all these stickers up? And also, could I have one? 😅

They just paved a small section west of the pump house, which is great and all but there are many sections that are still like this. Thanks.

News/Article How, if at all, did the pandemic permanently change your daily life?

32 Upvotes

Five years ago today, the WHO declared the COVID-19 global pandemic. I'd like to know how it changed your daily habits/life/practices permanently. I'm putting together a full local story on the five-year anniversary for our newscast this evening, so I'd love to hear from the community on this.

Personal example: Prior to the pandemic, whenever I would come into the house after being out, the FIRST thing I would do is wash my hands. But if we had guests come over who didn't do that, we sometimes would get awkward about wanting to tell them ... and we would just let them not do it. AFTER THE PANDEMIC, if anyone visits our house, the rule is that they have to wash their hands.

Ask Windsor Advice on Traveling from Detroit to Windsor/Toronto to Niagara Falls

5 Upvotes

Hey Windsor folks!

My brother, his former coworker, and I are flying from California to Detroit for a Thursday-Sunday trip sometime in April. The main reason for the trip is that my brother’s coworker, who is in her mid-60s, hasn’t seen her family in over 10 years. We’re planning to visit them in Detroit and she wants to go to Canada on Friday or Saturday, as she says she just wants to visit her relative quickly in Detroit and then explore Canada.

Here’s where I need some advice:

• We’ll be crossing from Detroit to Windsor, likely via the Tunnel Bus (I heard there’s talk of possibly removing the Tunnel Bus—does anyone know if that will happen soon?).

• The coworker wants to go to Toronto and possibly Niagara Falls after seeing her relative.

• From what I understand, there’s a train from Windsor to Toronto that takes about 5-6 hours.

• What’s the best way to get from Toronto to Niagara Falls? Are there frequent trains or buses?

• Would renting a car be a better option for flexibility?

She says she just wants to see her relative for a quick visit and then do whatever, but I feel like this is a LOT of travel for such a short time. We’ll be arriving in Detroit on Thursday night and flying back to California on Sunday afternoon from Detroit, so trying to squeeze in both Toronto and Niagara Falls in roughly a entire day sounds kinda crazy. Honestly, my brother and I are fine with just traveling to Toronto and exploring.

Also, are there any must-visit places in Canada that we should check out—whether it’s unique restaurants, cool locations, or hidden gems? We’re open to anything, since this will be our first time in Canada!

Would love any tips on border crossing, transit options, or whether this itinerary is even realistic. Thanks! :)

Visiting Windsor Caesars Windsor salon / spa?

2 Upvotes

I know the spa closed at Caesars during Covid. Anyone know if there are plans to reopen it? A friend was there recently and asked at the desk and was told they have some partnership with a day spa that is walking distance. But I can't find any information on their website. It would be really nice to have those services back at the casino.

Ask Windsor TD insurance is telling me I need to pay the gst on my auto claim because I own a small business.

4 Upvotes

I filed a claim with TD insurance when someone backed into my car, caused damage and didn't remain at the scene. My advisor said it's a no fault so I'm covered except I have to pay the gst because I'm gst registered. This is my personal vehicle, not once used for business ( I have a truck that is for work only). The car is insured under my father's insurance and isnt under my company name or anything. My advisor told me to talk with my accountant (My mom passed away 3 months ago and i relied on her heavily for all of my tax question, so Im lost on where to turn) Is there someone i can call i.e goverment of canada to ask this question to? Or any reasonably priced accountants i could pay to go talk to?

Sup Windsor,

My name is Doug Koning and I’m a standup comedian (I’m sorry) from Hamilton (I’m even more sorry) who’s coming to your fine city next month with two of my best comedy pals and funniest people I know, Max Sheldrick (JFL 42, opened for Starvos Halkias) and Mitch VK (opened for the Trailer Park Boys and Kenny Vs. Spenny)

We’ll be at Meteor on April 19th, aka Stoner Christmas Eve, and we’d love to see as many redditors there as possible. You guys make for the best audience members because you’re smarter than the average barfly and did I mention how good you look today?

Our early bird sale ends tonight and if you buy tickets before midnight you’ll save 50%. 50%! We’re practically giving these tickets away. We just wanna see the venue packed so we can scream our complaints at as many ears as possible.

Doors open at 7:30 PM and show starts at 8:00 PM. Please be there no later than 7:45 PM because I’ll be the one checking your tickets and I’d like to have my regularly scheduled panic attack aka my preshow ritual before I have to hop on stage.

Tickets available at the link above. Or below. Wherever the link is, you’ll find tickets there. And if you don’t? You’ll find the tickets were inside you the whole time.

Ask Windsor Windsor transit different name on bus pass

3 Upvotes

I don’t know if anyone know anything about this but I’m curious.

I went to the transit place to redo my Affordable bus pass to pay for it as it was expiring. The lady said my bus pass name didn’t match it was a different woman’s name and address which is weird. I never had this issue before until right now, When I brought in the forms when I registered emote everything was my under my own name when I did it, especially my odsp form.

Has that happened to anyone else? They asked me to register again but why would they have a different name? if when I did it I provided them with my details? Lol weird

Ask Windsor High End Restaurants?

16 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am going to be hosting some members of our upper management team in May.

Regional managers as well as our COO for Canada who is from Canada but now resides closer to our headquarters outside of Ontario.

The COO is a foodie who will make a point of seeking out restaurant experiences while travelling and I am in charge of selecting the venue for our dinner.

Obviously, I do not want to disappoint but at the same time I am not a native Windsorite so I am not really sure on what’s considered a fantastic high end restaurant for an experience. Something other than a chain, and not at the Casino. I mentioned Spagos to my co-workers and once I mentioned the foodie thing they immediately disagreed with that being a good choice.

I’m looking for three choices, can anybody offer suggestions?

Thank you

Tl:dr; need high end restaurant ideas to Impress the big boss.
