Neighbor from across me lost Credit cards for me it was only loose Change

I asked a while back about finding something like an empty open feild, or unhabited spot for a good mental health scream.

I desperately need an outlet this week, something safer than what usually happens as an outlet. And I figured screaming wouldnt harm myself nor would it harm anyone else (as long as I am alone). Last Saturday, I was at my lowest. I felt like I was going to have to call an ambulance to help me get through it all. Im fine physically, though mentally nothing has changed since.

I have a multitude of mental health issues though no therapist to help treat them. Im flat broke and in debt, havent even filed my taxes for this year due to my mental health declining. I just cant bring myself to do it, even though I realize this could be detrimental to myself.

So much is going on in my life. Thats about it. So, I ask my fellow Peterborough residents on reddit to help me find a spot where I could have some self care time through screaming out my emotions safely.

Thank you so much for any suggestions!!

I remember there being a pet store in portage place back when it was an actual mall. But I can't remember what it was called. Was it pet a rama?

See any posters from the Dominion Society of Canada? The ethno-fascist group? The anti-immigration-unless-you’re-white group? Rip 'em down. They’ve got video of two faceless cowards putting one up at the East City baseball diamond. That’s not happening here. No thank you.

Hey everyone as the title states I was wondering if you would suggest me whats the best service for an unlimited data plan towards internet every month? I currently live on my own and on ODSP, but I feel as if I'm not technologically up to date being without the net at my apartment and being in the current world.

If your asking how Im posting this, well I use my data off my phones service provider which helps a lot but it would be used up too fast if I used it for anything else like online gaming and other alternate forms.

Hey all, as the title says my car was recently broken into. They didn’t take anything that can’t be bought back, but it’d be nice if someone saw my stuff laying around discarded or I could get it back. My car is so old it doesn’t have an alarm, so I didn’t see it until the morning.

My car was parked around Wentworth and the only thing they seemed to steal was a black bag with the following items inside. Equestrian helmet (wide brim, size M/L), two pairs of equestrian gloves, and a pair of equestrian spurs about one inch long.

Thanks for the help. I have someone helping me in the area who is searching places where it could’ve been discarded, but I know the chances of finding my stuff is pretty low.

So done with this shithole downtown. Woke up this morning to yet another car break in. Happens probly once a month minimum. Doesn’t matter if it’s locked . this time it looks like they slid a window down by sticking something in it to get in.
have filed multiple police reports over the last year as this happens all the time here.( dont want to give exact address but within walking distance of trinity church) police do nothing even though our property has cameras and lights pointed directly at parked cars . It’s not like these fucking crackheads are that hard to track down they all hang out in the same spots and wear the same clothes like cartoon characters every day. So sick of living here and plan to move ASAP. Also so sick of people defending the addicts who do this. It’s just a constant string of bullshit. Literally every day there’s some kind of issue here with these people and they face no consequences whatsoever.downtown peterborough is so fucked .no wonder no one wants to support any businesses down here .

What do we think about this restaurant? I feel like the quality is deteriorating quite a bit, I could be wrong?

My family is moving to Peterborough and we’re currently looking for a place to rent. My husband works from home, so we would prefer a quiet neighbourhood. We have found a few places online in the Hetherington/Summer Lane area, but with their close proximity to Trent, we’re afraid that they’ll be full of students and could be pretty noisy. We don’t have any problem with students, it’s just that our post secondary years are well behind us. Any information would be helpful.

I know its not exactly peak season for this right now but I need a splash of colour for the front of my house. Wheres the best place to buy an affordable basket and planter? Does Farmboy still have this type of stuff?

Busy week this week! Peterborough Public Health inspected 20 food premises with thirteen locations receiving infractions — eight had at least one critical infraction and five had non-critical infractions only. Seven inspections came back completely clean.

Here's what was found...

---

##🔴 Loon Ho — 871 Chemong Rd, Peterborough North

Routine inspection, August 13 · 3 critical, 5 non-critical

The worst result this week. This is the location's 4th critical infraction on record since September 2024. Critical: food-contact surfaces not cleaned and sanitized, food not protected from contamination, and potentially hazardous food held above 4°C. Non-critical: equipment not properly maintained, ventilation not maintained, pests not adequately controlled, no soap at the hand-washing station, and floors/walls/ceilings not kept clean and in good repair. The inspection record also lists "Fire Department" as an action taken, alongside "Report Reviewed - Action Required." No follow-up has been recorded yet.

##🔴 Jasmine Thai Cuisine — 195 Simcoe Street, Peterborough Central South

Routine inspection, August 10 · 2 critical, 2 non-critical

This is the location's 5th critical infraction on record since September 2024. Critical: food not protected from contamination, and hand-washing stations not conveniently accessible. Non-critical: equipment not maintained in a clean/sanitary condition and ventilation not properly maintained. Food handler education was provided on-site; no follow-up has been recorded yet.

##🔴 La Mesita Restaurante — 247 George Street N, Peterborough Central South

Required inspection August 11, Follow-up August 12 · 1 critical each visit

First critical infraction on record for this location — but it took three visits in four days to clear. A required inspection on August 11 found the mechanical dishwasher not sanitizing utensils at the required chlorine concentration and temperature. A follow-up the very next day (August 12) found the exact same issue still not fixed. A third inspection on August 14 found the location fully clean, critical and non-critical.

##🔴 Village of Thai — 241 George Street N., Peterborough Central South

Routine inspection, August 12 · 1 critical, 3 non-critical

This is the location's 6th critical infraction on record since September 2024. Inspectors found food not confirmed safe to eat, and product on-site was seized and destroyed. Non-critical: equipment not of sound construction and not clean/sanitized, furniture/equipment not arranged sanitarily, and no sanitizer test reagent on hand. Food handler education was provided on-site; no follow-up has been recorded yet.

##🔴 Royal Paan — 3-1135 Lansdowne St W, Peterborough South

Routine inspection, August 11 · 1 critical, 4 non-critical

This is the location's 4th critical infraction on record since September 2024. Inspectors found food-contact surfaces not cleaned and sanitized after each use. Non-critical: furniture/equipment not sanitarily arranged, pests not adequately controlled, no sanitizer test reagent on hand, and floors/walls not kept clean. Food handler education was provided on-site; no follow-up has been recorded yet.

##🔴 By The Bridge — 382 Water St, Peterborough Central North

Follow-up inspection, August 12 · 1 critical

This is the location's 5th critical infraction on record since September 2024. Inspectors found potentially hazardous food not held at or below 4°C. A separate, unrelated routine inspection the day before (August 11) came back completely clean, so this is specifically the follow-up finding. No newer follow-up has been recorded yet.

Routine inspection, August 10 · 1 critical, 1 non-critical

This is the location's 7th critical infraction on record since September 2024 — the most of any location in this report.

How to read this: "Critical" vs "non-critical" is Ontario's own regulatory risk tier, not a severity score we assign — critical findings relate directly to things that can make food unsafe (contamination, temperature control, hand hygiene); non-critical covers maintenance and paperwork requirements (equipment condition, signage, sanitizer test reagents) that health units still require but don't by themselves mean the food is unsafe. 🔴 = at least one critical infraction, 🟡 = non-critical only, 🟢 = zero infractions of any kind. This report lists every Peterborough inspection for the week, including clean ones — nothing is filtered out. Results reflect conditions at the time of the visit only — check the disclosure portal for a location's current placard/status.

Just want to give a huge shoutout to the organizers, musicians, vendors and volunteers of this weekend's FolkFest. We saw so many great bands and really, really enjoyed ourselves. What a gem this festival is. Thank you!
