Anniversary Getaway to Stratford – Looking for Local Recommendations!

8 Upvotes

My wife and I are visiting Stratford for the first time October 16–17 to celebrate our anniversary, and we’d love some recommendations from the locals!

We’ll be arriving around noon on Friday and will have our 5-month-old with us.

We’re really looking forward to experiencing the fall atmosphere, exploring the charming downtown, enjoying the changing colors, and checking out some local shops and cafés.

We’d love recommendations for:
-A great spot for a special anniversary dinner
-Cozy coffee shops and breakfast spots
-Unique local shops or hidden gems
-The best places to walk and enjoy the fall colors
-Anything else you think first-time visitors shouldn’t miss!

We’re hoping to explore mostly on foot and enjoy a relaxing couple of days without packing too much into our schedule.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to visiting your town!

Large operation at Lorne & 212?

6 Upvotes

Just wondering if anybody has any idea what’s happening near Lorne and Road 212; everything looked clear, but there were a whole bunch of police directing traffic and blocking off roads and earlier, a bunch of firetrucks and paramedics, but there didn’t seem to be an accident… just being nosy!

Last summer I bought a beautiful apron and bag from a woman selling her quilted items in the basement of the Knox Presbyterian church. I had her card but I’ve lost it. Looking to get in contact so I can buy some Christmas presents from her. Photo of the apron and bag I purchased from her.

Barber Shop Recommendations Sought

2 Upvotes

I'm wondering if there's a barber shop in town that isn't a heavily "masculine" environment (lacking manosphere stuff like cars/sports/gyms/babes) and not youth-targeted.

That kind of space is super uncomfortable, and I really don't want to awkwardly end up in one.

Thanks!

Re: Popeyes Rant Video

45 Upvotes

Apparently there was a video where a man was complaining about service at Popeye's this week.

I can provide some context, since I was standing 10 feet away when he made that video.

First of all, it was after 10pm. The restaurant was preparing to close, and there was only a skeleton crew present. A reasonable person would understand that a last minute order might take longer, as staff are cleaning and getting ready to close.

Second, this guy kept pacing around the place and speaking into his phone, loudly complaining, while berating me and the staff, using profanity etc.

At one point, just after recording the video, he decided to take matters into his own hands and compensate himself for the money he paid for his order. With that, he proceeded to pick up a fire extinguisher and walk out with it.

When his order was finally ready, he refused to take it, and kept pacing about and talking into his phone, exiting and coming back in several times.

I let the staff know he had walked off with the fire extinguisher. Shortly after, he did return it, but...

I got my stuff and got out of there. Walking home, I did hear one last shout of profanities.

Popeyes

7 Upvotes

I used to live in Stratford and was in town visiting family and friends. My wife and I went to Popeyes because they don’t have one where we live, and we both like their food.

Anyways, I paid in cash and the cashier gave me 30 dimes and 12 quarters back as change. I almost laughed at that. I was annoyed but whatever. I just took it.

Then, there were several people waiting for the orders, and the girl who gave me a fistful of change was calling out orders but in a vague way and people were kind of confused and she wasn’t much help answering any questions and seemed annoyed.

My wife ordered 6 wings along with me and it took them almost 20 minutes to make.

Genuinely, a brutal experience.

The rest of the trip was solid and had a great time. Great food and awesome service. But I’m over Popeyes. At least in Stratford. That was rough.

Piano Teacher Recommendations

5 Upvotes

I'd be grateful for any recommendations for a piano teacher. Looking to surprise an adult who hasn't played in over 20 years but was at the keyboard from about five years old till 20.

Anxiety is a big deal and a very patient teacher who focuses on encouragement is needed.

Thanks

I’m hoping those of you with Instagram might be able to help a local artist  turn a dream of mine into a reality! I entered my artwork into a contest with Villager Puzzles, and out of more than 300 entries, my piece was chosen as one of just 12 finalists! 🎉

There’s a vote happening on Instagram this week to decide which artwork will become an actual puzzle for sale, and I would absolutely love to see mine make it!

If you’d like to help, all you need to do is follow the Instagram link and leave a comment on their post saying you love #8! 🧩❤️

It only takes a few seconds, and I would appreciate every single vote so much.
Thank you so much!!

Trans friendly personal trainers?

8 Upvotes

i'm a mid twenties trans guy who just started on testosterone and part of my transition goals is to start taking fitness seriously, so i was hoping to get a personal trainer who at the very least is not transphobic, but in the best case scenario has worked with trans clients before and understands how hormones work and such. I know that's a long shot for stratford, but i am trapped here for the time being lol

One day rental

28 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m a recently graduated nurse living in London, Ontario. I work an overnight shift in Stratford once a week, so I’m looking for a place to stay for just one night a week.
I don’t necessarily need a whole room. Even a small corner in someone’s house where I can sleep would be totally fine, lol!
If anyone knows someone who might be open to this arrangement, I’d really appreciate any leads. I’m happy to discuss payment and details privately.
Thanks so much!
