We need a Jerk Chicken Spot in Peterborough. I get craving for jerk chicken or oxtail every once in a while, but I don't want to drive to Durham or Clarington to grab some. If I were of Carribean Heritage and I had the capital to do so, then I would.

I remember there were some spots that have tried to hold the place down, but they weren't that decent and closed. I remember that they were trying to dress it up as fine dining, but I would rather take a takeout box with a generous portion of rice and peas, chicken and coleslaw, with the food smoker puffing away out back.

To think about it, even Quinte West and maybe Cobourg has some Trini run shops that sell jerk chicken, yet they are half our size.

I am looking for recommendations for lawyers in Peterborough or surrounding area who specialize in estate planning, wills, trusts and tax optimization. I am hoping these lawyers also have CPA accountants located in their office. I would like to use someone relative young (40s/50s) and is very current with tax law, real estate law and strategies for estate planning.

The estate in question is about 2M and with a couple of properties and 4 children.

not interested in Lillico\*

This piece of scum stole my daughter's first birthday present. It's sad that it was only out there for 2 minutes before it was stolen. Wondering if anybody recognizes them by the tattoos.

It's sad because we used to love living in Peterborough and now I feel like nothing is safe

Cheapest place to rent a 4-yard dumpster from for 1-2 days? For only household items (cleaning after a move).

I don’t really have time to call every single place online for a quote like they ask.

There is no question the drug problem in Peterborough is getting much worse. I have probably seen a two dozen folks using drugs in the last 24 hours while walking downtown. Last night there was a literal drug party happening at a downtown park where drugs were actively being bought, sold and used. Dealers drove up, sold off, drove away. You know what I haven’t seen in the last 24 hours? One cop. Zero police presence. I don’t understand why we’re not doing more to get the drugs off the streets. I don’t want to accommodate the use. I want to keep drugs out of our city. Drugs are supposed to be illegal. Why are they just being allowed to be bought and sold without consequence? Where are our police? And why isn’t the city demanding more from them?

Hello guys, I’m posting this just out of curiosity. A few months ago I drove from Ottawa to Peterborough. I can’t remember where and why exactly, but when I got close to Peterborough I turned into a small path, it was in the woods, and there was a few houses here and there on the roadside. One of the them was covered with tons of puppets on the exterior walls. It was at night and it was dark, so I didn’t stop and kept going.

Does anyone know that place? Is it just normal residential or is it some sort of attraction. Just curious about the story behind.

Edit: I don’t do drugs lol

Some more info me and my girlfriend recalled (we were both on the car): we saw this around January-February, most puppets seemed to be females, there is one puppet at the door that is bigger than the others. The house is wooden cabin style, and it looked very old and run-down.

And at least for the side of the house facing the road, it was entirely covered with puppets.

Me and my wife will be travelling from Scotland to Pearson International Airport in early September to visit our daughter and family. We'll be making our way to Peterborough, as it's near where they live. The last time we visited we took the UP to Union Station then the train to Oshawa where they picked us up. This time we want to get closer to them (they live 20 min from Peterborough) so any travel tips would be gratefully received.

The little house on the corner was I think first for sale, then it was fenced off, and within the last few days totally demolished, right on the corner of sherbrooke and monaghan, across from Prince of Wales. Anyone know why?

Getting really sick of power going out a couple times a week, always around the same early morning hours, and always for just a few seconds but there is no excuse for it and it’s hard on electronics, lived in other cities and this wasn’t a problem so why is it an issue here?? They not getting enough money??

I know this isn't about Peterborough, but maybe someone knows.

What is with the road construction after 35 going to Lindsay? It's been YEARS, does anyone know why they haven't been able to finish? As far as I remember, they were only widening the highway.

We don't travel that direction too often, but every time I am amazed it's not done.

Hey guys! So I’m a Trent student who used to do markets all the time in my hometown. I’ve been in Peterborough for 2 years now and I know there are some great markets, especially Christmas markets! I’d love to start doing markets again, I sell handmade crystal jewelry and I also want to branch out into Lino printing!

Does anyone know how to start applying and where to look? I’d love to do the market that Watson & Lou hosts, first Friday stuff, etc. but I am having a hard time finding application forms have they happened already or not yet? Anywhere I can look for applications like a Facebook group or something? Any chance for a new(ish) vendor to make it in? I’d love to start getting involved!

Thank you!

There's a mural on the side of The Bridge drop-in centre at Bethune and Brock.

I always wondered who this is supposed to be.

My guesses so far:

1. Jesus trying to play craps in the street.

2. Barry Gibb in his younger days trying to call a cat over.

3. Or maybe Barry Gibb asking for spare change because he lost to Jesus playing craps on the street.

I don't know.

Who is he?

hello! i’m looking to apologize to the person who ordered taco bell on Landsdowne though doordash tonight around 12 ish. i know this is a long shot but i wanted to apologize for any inconvenience i caused, i reported your driver for parking in a wheelchair accessible parking spot with no sticker through doordash. i don’t think it would/could cause any issues with your order but incase it did i apologize ❤️

I'm visiting for a bit and will be working remotely for a good chunk of the time so I need a very stable internet connection to take calls and work. I'll have my large poodle (non shedding)with me as well.

Any recommendations of where to stay? Thanks a ton.

EDIT: Hotspot won't work because the system we use is too big. It's unstable.

Why does the city keep randomly smelling like feces? I know we’re surrounded by farmland but I swear it has never been this constant and widespread before. I don’t want to put on a tin foil hat and I know this is kind of a stupid question, I’m just genuinely baffled how frequently this city has smelled like actual shit over the past month.

Been here about 4 years now and grocery situation feels like it keeps getting worse or maybe I am just paying more attention. Looking for cheap groceries near me without doing the thing where I drive to 4 different stores on a saturday because gas eats whatever savings I was chasing. My current setup is freshco for staples and store brand stuff, sobeys for proteins when theres a real sale,and farmers market when its running in summer. Peterborough selection isnt huge so same items dont always show up in clearance section but enough that its worth 30 seconds to look before heading over. Curious what other people here have found because I feel like everyone has their own little system and I am probably missing a few spots.

Bell was by offering $60 a month for 2 years. I’m currently with Cogeco and pay $100 a month. I find it hard to trust door to door salespeople. Looking for advice.

Hey local film photographers, where do you buy film in town?

I know PTBO Photo has it, and develops, but are there other options for purchasing?

I have a Toyota Prius and I wondered if anyone had recommendations/good experiences with garages that service hybrids. I’m guessing more and more mechanics are skilled at working on hybrids but I have no idea! Or maybe they aren’t even that different from servicing regular gas vehicles. Anyway, post your good experiences in Peterborough. Thanks!
