2. Ed Sheeran concert
Original title in English:Ed Sheeran Concert
Post summary:Hi everyone! Is anyone from Barrie going to Ed's concert on Thursday, August 20? How do you plan to get back to Barrie after the concert? The last train from Union to Allandale is at 7:54, the concert starts at 5:30, he comes out around 8:00, and finishes around 10-10:30 PM. I have tickets but I don't know how to get back. Buses run about every 2 hours, but they are all during the concert. Also, an Uber that night could be over $100

3. Weekend parking
Original title in English:Weekend parking
Post summary:Hello! First time taking the train from Barrie to Union Station, I just bought a new car but refuse to drive in Toronto. I'm driving from North Bay - the issue is I need to park for over 48 hours, so parking at the station seems out of the question (Friday to Sunday). Is there a safe paid parking lot where I can leave my car for an extended period? Thanks in advance for your advice :)

Hi! I’m taking the go-train to union station from Barrie for the first time, I just got a new vehicle and refuse to drive it in Toronto. I’m driving down from north bay- the problem is I’d be parking for more than 48hours so parking at the station looks like it’s a no-go (fri-sun) is there any secure paid parking lots

The last leg of driving plus city driving can get messy. Park at Mapleview station, then look for signs with a security phone number. Call them and give them your license plate and car details and how long you'll be staying. Others say this is the best option. Make sure to check online via GO Transit that the train is running beforehand. Some weekends, when major track work is happening, they only run buses

5. Techno scene?
Original title in English:Techno Scene?
Post summary:Hi, I love Techno, I'm also a DJ and really enjoy mixing Techno. Usually this requires me to drive to Toronto to find open decks or a proper rave. So I often drive. Is there any local scene I don't know about yet? Even broader EDM? A few days ago, after the Bahamas concert downtown Barrie, I passed by On the Mark vintage and noticed a flyer for an open deck night for dance music DJs, but it was a one-night event, and unfortunately the date had a

Post summary:Not sure why my delivery app took so long to recommend this place, but wow, it's really good. Had the Morta and the Bad Lucy, the Morta might be one of the best traditional Italian deli sandwiches I've ever had. About a year ago I asked you all for food recommendations and built a Google Maps list based on all your suggestions. I'll share an update post about all the places I've tried since, but this place is newer so it wasn't on the list. It's a must-try, absolutely blows you away

12. Which traffic lights in Barrie should be changed?
Original title in English:Which Traffic Lights Should be Changed in Barrie?
Post summary:Almost all traffic lights in Barrie are untimed. You find yourself sitting there multiple times with no cars coming from the other direction. For me, the following 3 are the worst: Codrington and Duckworth, Codrington and St. Vincent, Ross and Maple. All 3 of these could easily be replaced with a stop sign in one direction.
