After our weekend trip to the Farmers' Market on Saturday, we made our way over to the corner of Lock and Morrow Streets to the Pop Up Market. Artisans, crafters, and bakers came together to showcase and sell their items.

Megan Currie has opened up a modern home store downtown just off Hunter Street West at 188 Hunter Street West.
Burrow offers unique home decor and gift items that really stand out. Megan said she was drawn to handmade items and things made of natural materials.
Profiles are being added to some of the items such as dipped kitchen wear that offered an anti-skid coating. These backgrounds give you a bit of a brief story about the person who created it and where they are from. Megan says she tries to source her items from within North America but also offers a few unique items from around the World.
Consider stopping in for housewarming or wedding gifts. Burrow will be hosting an official Grand Opening later in September.
Follow Burrow on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Get in touch with Burrow at (705) 749-6778 or via email.

Recently I attended an outdoor movie, smack-dab in the heart of Toronto. The documentary Lost Rivers was screened for free on the grass of Toronto's Fort York. All you had to do was bring a blanket.
While sitting there, amongst the din of the traffic and Go Trains, and looking at the condos surrounding the historical site, I found myself rather impressed that hundreds of people would come to an event like this. Sure, you are prone to the elements (so is Peterborough Musicfest), but watching a movie on a 40-foot inflatable screen (provided by Fresh Air Cinema) while the rest of the world bustles by was kind of magical.
There were multiple local vendors of food and drinks and the event went off without a hitch. People were allowed to bring dogs, and although there was an occasional smoker, I really had no complaints.
I understand the difficulties of affording a digital projector, and paying for first run movies, and I do appreciate the nod to the historic times of the traditional Drive-in. That said, I think in today's fast paced world, a "Walk-in" is a nice idea (not to mention environmentally-friendly) where you can roll out a blanket and enjoy conversation and the city around you with strangers while taking in a flick.
So what about trying something like this in Peterborough?
