bokonon Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 This job is seriously a frickin' cakewalk too. I worked this location last week and it was so nice. I'm back in Montreal now, but I want to go back to Collingwood. People come up to you with their wallets open and most are really nice. The staff at the restaurant are great and the food is frickin' fantastic. The locals are pretty cool too. Man I miss Collingwood. I'm so not digging being in Montreal every day.

c-towns Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 If you like Collingwood, you should try Stayner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Actually, I kinda like Stayner. It's pretty much the same thing. I just like the fact that you can find water, trees and hills all in the same place. Also, the traffic is much less hectic than Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayr Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 If you like Collingwood, you should try Stayner.I don't laugh at posts too often but you got me on that one. Unless of course you were serious in which case disregard this post........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allison Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 This whole thread makes me laugh.Collingwood is a pretty good place to live.It's sort of overwhelmed by the very wealthy dabbling at retirement pastimes, the anti authority thirtysomething's making a living on their own terms, and a vast contingent of amblers just enjoying the scenery and knowing if you quit one hospitality industry job,theres another one right beside it.It's pretty, there is the bay,and the mountain, and the escarpment.But the bay is fairly calm, the mountain isn't that big, the caves aren't that deep(except in Stayner)so nobody has to really try and be too hardcore-it's slacker paradise.I think what you experienced might have been the VILLAGE though bokonon.Pseudo Whistler,all style, no substance.But the food is awesome, and the people are pretty and who really cares.Next time you are back this way look jayr or I up-then we'll see what you think of the locals!!

bokonon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well I did work at the Village I stayed at the Milestone in town. (Did you see my big, black redneck truck parked there? It's the flat black one with mag wheels, shiny rims and ZZ Top on the side. I love it.) My first night in town I got a ride with the town's most popular biker grand-dad Tommy, he's super nice. His buddy Kevin has some good stories too. When you work in the village you meet people who work there, and they tend to be locals. Oh yeah, and of course there's my favourite local; Carl the Canadian Construction Worker. I've never seen a big, bald man blush so quick in my life. I scared the shit out of the poor bastard. God, he's cute. But I might be back on the 18th, so lets go play! I really want to come back, it's been my most favourite location yet with this job.

mattm Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I grew up around there, I agree wicked place and the locals aren't too bad. Just watch out for the tourists from TO in the summer hitting up wasaga. Nice to read something about home though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 how much was it running you per day for a place to stay?$65/ night at the Milestone Inn. They gave us a charity rate. They covered my hotel expenses but they won't cover the accomodations of a person who is up there permanently. I just went there to set it all up. It was my first solo project and it's a great location! Woo Hoo, success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bokonon Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 For anyone that's interested in filling the position before July 18th the person to call is Lynn Ricks. He's an old cowboy from Oklahoma, don't let the name fool you. He's working Collingwood until that day. PM me for his number. After the 18th it is planned that I will be going back. But we shall see.

LXQ42 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Sorry Bokonon, but I feel the need to warn people that they may get screwed over by B.A.D.D. I was driving there from Orillia for a week, and then simply got told not to show up anymore, and now you're still trying to find new people, after telling me you don't understand what's happening. very shady.

bokonon Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 That's a very fair opinion. I really don't know what is going on up there. I'm in Montreal (boo!). I will be back in Collingwood on Tuesday and I will figure it all out then. I talked to Lynn today. I think the major issue he is having is that he wants to set up a regular schedule and he can't find people that will commit to specific days. I think it's kinda silly the way he's doing it, but it will get straightened out.I'm really sorry about the way this was handled. I really don't know what Lynn is doing up there.
