4. Tattoo shop
Original title in English:Tattoo parlour
Post summary:I'm looking for a great tattoo shop in Barrie that isn't too expensive, does good work, and is clean. I've been told Lakeside Ink and Wild Ink are good places, but I'm not sure about the cost. I don't have a lot of money right now, so I just want to know how much to save up. I want to get a wolf tattoo around my ankle, in black ink, with minimal shading. Thanks in advance!!

8. Barrie Waterfront: Performing Arts and Conference Centre design and Spirit Catcher. New location for iconic sculpture disappointing.
Original title in English:Barrie waterfront: Performing Arts and Convention Centre design and the Spirit Catcher. Dissappointing new location for an iconic sculpture.
Post summary:I reviewed the plans for the new centre, and while I support having a proper centre downtown, even on the waterfront (with caveats), I am very disappointed and incredulous that someone agreed to move the Spirit Catcher to the front of this new building. The Spirit Catcher is an iconic piece of Barrie's culture and history, and its location on the water, where we can see through its body, with wings spread, unobstructed views of the water and the other side (from the front)

Post summary:Does anyone recommend a company/contractor in Barrie that installs insulation? I see a lot of people focusing on spray foam for attics, but I'm dealing with unfinished basement walls, so spray foam is not an option.

12. Have you seen this cat near Sophia St E?
Original title in English:Have you seen this cat near Sophia St E?
Post summary:We are making one last attempt. Our cat was last seen last Friday near the wooden wall across from Lions Park. Apparently a group of homeless people have been feeding him and he's been approaching people for affection. Apparently he's well known at the Busby Centre, where they call him "Goose", but that's not his name. Anyway, if you see this cat in the area or around Peel St/Newton St/Ross/Grove/McDonald/Sophia or downtown, please let us know. There's a cash reward for anyone who qualifies
