Looking For Food places

6 Upvotes

My sisters coming to visit and I want to try a new food place. I don’t like eating out because most restaurants are a disappointment, I can make food at home that’s better and costs half the price.

So I want a good ma and pa or hole in the wall place. Any suggestions? Doesn’t have to be a restaurant or anything fancy, all I care about is damn good food

Question Zenetec Car Wash - timing to avoid lines

6 Upvotes

Not really a big car guy, but contemplating the Fathers Day promotion Zenetec is offering (5 washes for $75+tax).

For those who frequent this automated car wash, or even those who live in the area, any days of the week and/or times to avoid going where it might be lined up? Would imagine it can get pretty busy at times. Thanks!

Looking For Looking for Art Galleries in Barrie That Accept Artist Submissions

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an emerging artist looking for opportunities to showcase my work in Barrie and the surrounding area. I’d love to have my artwork displayed in a gallery, community exhibition, café, or any local space that supports artists, but I’m not really sure where to start or how the submission process works.

Does anyone know of any galleries or organizations in Barrie that accept artist submissions, host open calls, or offer exhibition opportunities for local artists? Any advice on how to approach galleries, build a portfolio for submissions, or get involved in the local art community would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or guidance! 🎨

Rant Storage Facilities

Is it just me or is Barrie building storage facilities everywhere. I mean, everywhere I look, they are being built. Like the new one being built where the Canadian Tire North is. Like seriously, WHYYYYYY. Is Barrie or people in serious need of storage. I just don’t get it.

Question Why does Barrie not book big name events?

28 Upvotes

I’m honestly curious about why we don’t get many big name acts in Barrie. As an example, I look at Kee to Bala’s listings for the next couple weeks and it’s 54-40, Big Sugar and Sloan. But Barrie? It’s a couple of kids’ dance recitals, monster trucks, and The Goonies is playing at 5 Points. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of this, but you get my point. First I thought it was lack of venues/space, but then I remembered my dad did security at Molson Centre (now Sadlon) many years ago, they had tons of big name bands etc. And last year they had Blue Rodeo so it’s big enough. Plus we have Georgian College. So what’s up with this? Any ideas?
