Taxi's Company Downtown Whitby get more Liscences Approved.

At the last Whitby Council meeting Circle and Bell Taxi companies received additional taxi liscences to help with moving people out of our downtown.  This is great news.  Let's now see if it aids in the congestion on the weekends.

We now need to start working on those who decide to use our downtown as a urinal.

Last week while downtown, Friday evening at 5:30pm these two fellows across from the liquor store decided to use the side of the building as a urinal.  Is this necessary, you would think that they could have used the bathroom in the gas station across the street.

We see the spirit of Christmas coming to our downtown; store fronts and businesses are starting to put up their displays and decorations.  Let's all get into the Christmas spirit and brighten up our downtown.

Lastly for this post; CONGRATULATIONS for the facelift that was given to the Mennonite Meat market building and the Health Food Store, 121 Brock Street North.  The building looks absolutely amazing.  Have a stop in; let them know what you think.
