Transformer Box

One of many transformer boxes that have been tagged. This one on Johnson St.

Barrie Bronx under Bonnie [BBuB]

Ward 1 has become the "Bronx" within the City of Barrie (in some respects). The mature, established, tough part of town. Yesterday, a small example, Eastview Secondary School had their entire parking lot completely overhauled. Before the construction barrie wall could be taken down Ward 1 graffiti artists displayed their talents. This is Ward 1. I would challenge any other Ward in Barrie if they have as many mailboxes, transformer boxes, traffic light switchgear boxes with as much gorgeous art as we do here in the Barrie Bronx. Actually, I think Alderwoman Bonnie Ainsworth should have "Welcome to the Barrie Bronx" entering Ward 1.

What's that Smell ? or, That's no Skunk Billy.

On August 17th 2011 at 3:30am in the morning, Ward 1 experienced a devasting blow. One of our favourite "Out-houses" was burnt to the ground. Luckily, there was no one taking a dump at that time of the morning. But, what if? Your routine "johnny-on-the-spot" fire story would have appeared in the NY times and Chicago Tribune. Kool-FM was the first to report. Firefighters wearing gas masks put out the inferno. In Ward 1, we call the site now, "ground zero". Some are saying a momument should be built to commemorate this stand alone.
Billy, that ain't no skunk. I'm pretty sure i can identify the difference between a johnny-on-the-spot on fire versus a Ward 1 Skunk. Billy that ain't no Ward 1 Skunk. Thank god, there were no fatalities, so Ward 1 in Barrie continues to be the most populated Ward in our beautiful City.
