I saw him back in 2020 for my ADHD diagnosis but went to look him up again but it says his practice is permanently closed. Anyone know if he’s somewhere else or just retired?

Can’t figure it out on google.

Question Anyone know of this bar?

16 Upvotes

Hi all,

A long time ago, around 30 years, I was in Canada in the Barrie area visiting my cousin. One night we went to a place that I only know as the ‘pizza pub’. I have little recollection other than I don’t think it was in an urban area and it sold pizza and beer. It also allowed me to run up a tab which, back then for a 20 something year old English guy, was rather foolish.

I have been back to Canada many times but I have never been back to this bar and would love to know if it is still there for me to do a return visit.

Anyone have an idea?

Looking For Looking to Thank someone

64 Upvotes

Over 20 years ago an old man patched my fingertips up after having them ripped off in a door hinge at the McDonald's by Giant Tiger Wholesale Club, the McDonald's refused to give my mother a first aid kit, so this man ran to his car and got one and wrapped my fingers up, he might of passed by now he was an older man at the time and it's been 20 years ago, but he was with a young boy, pretty sure it was his Grandson or Nephew, guy did a great favor to me as a kid, and I'm not sure if he was ever properly thanked, not just for helping me but for being properly prepared with a first aid kit in his car, this young boy is grown up now and might not even be in Barrie anymore but something like this isn't something you keep to yourself, if you see a kid get his finger tips ripped off you're probably tell the story to people, if I can't find this man or this young boy who's an adult now then I wanna find someone who heard the story and knows the man
