A serene, pastoral glow, looking through vibrant type filled with action with a subtle metallic vibes. A riff on Whitman's words, setting a thoughtful tone.

Still looking! Anyone know?
Can anyone think of any commercial or industrial properties that have sold in Peterborough in the last year or two? Not properties that have been put up for sale, but ones that we know did indeed sell. Need to find some examples for an analysis I'd like to do.

New from me! The GE property at 107 Park Street generates more than $500,000 in property taxes for the city each year. That number stands to decrease if a proposal to demolish many of the buildings on the 50-acre site goes ahead.

Why the GE demolition plan could hurt Peterborough's tax base | Peterborough Currents
With fewer buildings on it, the GE property will likely be taxed less. That would mean higher bills for everyone else.

Art galleries need to be supported regardless of numbers. We don't have any right to just make decisions about publicly funded repositories of a place's stories. They aren't just for us, they are for the future too. @troutinplaid.bsky.social troutinplaid.com/2025/09/26/m...
Maybe Peterborough doesn’t need an art gallery
On Tripadvisor the Art Gallery of Peterborough is listed as #11 of 54 top attractions in Peterborough. More popular than the Landsdowne Mall and the Memorial Centre, but not as popular as MusicFest…
