Man On The Street - What Residents Are Saying About Living In Dufferin County

Every week I take a walk somewhere in Dufferin County and chat with some good, down to earth, friendly folks.  It is the highlight of my week and I find that I learn so much from talking to them, that I decided to start a weekly blog.  I'm featuring five (5) residents who presently live in Dufferin County, whether it is Orangeville, Mono, Amaranth, Grand Valley, East Garafraxa, Shelburne or Mulmur.

Here's what these 5 residents had to say about living here:

Margy has been living here in Orangeville for the past 32 years.  She moved from Toronto and says she loves the small town living.  She likes that it's not very crowded and the people are friendlier.  She may move to Shelburne later on.

Sandro lives in Mono and has been here for 10 years.  Before that he lived in Mississauga and said he moved here due to personal circumstances.  Neither likes nor dislikes being in these parts, but since he is a real estate investor, finds that the real estate market is a bit strange in Orangeville.

Cindy and Margy were taking a walk together on Broadway, so naturally I wanted to know what Cindy thought about living here in Orangeville as well.
Cindy moved to Shelburne from Brampton 12 years ago.  She never felt totally at home in Shelburne, so moved into Orangeville a little later on.  She has an Autistic son and came upon Kari's Place, which she said is number 1 in her books.  She also volunteers at the Light House, where she says the people there are absolutely amazing!!!

Sharon and I hit it off from the minute we started talking.  She lives in Mulmur with her husband and 11 year old son.  She moved here from St. Catharines and feels totally blessed to be able to enjoy nature at it's fullest and most beautiful.  Claims the views out there are to die for, which I agree with her since I would like to eventually move to Mulmur.  Presently I live in Mono and I love to see the sunrises and sunsets from my home.  Back to Sharon (heehee)- she has even seen a bear out there. WOW!  Nice conversation Sharon.  I will call you with the name of the author we were discussing.

My last interview ended with Robert.  Robert is a retired professor of History.  Very dignified gentleman, he moved to Orangeville from Saskatoon 5 years ago and says he is here to stay.  When asked what brought him here, he said his beautiful daughter and grandchildren.  They are the joy of his life and is very proud of the bond he and his daughter share.  He loves living in Orangeville and says the people here are very friendly, a lot like out in Saskatoon.

If peace, beauty and tranquility are what you are looking for, Dufferin County can definitely supply these vital supplies to you and your family.  Don't hesitate to email me if you feel to need to find out more - radhadiaram@remax.net

A big, burly man visited the pastor's home and asked to see the minister's wife, a woman well known for her charitable impulses.
"Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400."
"How terrible!" exclaimed the preacher's wife. "May I ask who you are?"
They sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes. "I'm the landlord," he sobbed.
