The Walking Dead – Finally Home?
I just finished watching Season 5 of The Walking Dead and saw these graphic novels in the public library. Pretty soon, the television series will be completely caught up with the books. I wonder what will happen then? I try to write my reviews without spoilers, but if you are a big fan of the…

Strathroy Skatepark
Strathroy Skate Park was built by the local Optimist Club. It’s a nice park for little kids and those just starting out. It has a large bump in the middle of the park.

The Future is Here!
Today is Back to the Future Day, the exact day that Marty McFly travelled to the future. He is scheduled to be here any minute. Unfortunately, the future we see in the film looks little like our daily lives. We don’t have flying cars and I still don’t have my hoverboard. We do, however have…
