Peterborough Is Apparently Full Of Shiny Happy People According To New Report

/

It really is a wonderful life in Peterborough! Yes, we are one of the happiest places in Canada, according to this Centre for the Study of Living Standards report. To be more specific, we are ranked No. 7 in the country. So despite a lot of the findings here about so many people in the Patch desperately needing food and jobs and such, we're still happy!  Well, OK. Money doesn't buy you happiness, right? Maybe it's all that gas, Kruz FM's Mike Melnik suggests.

So why are we so damn happy? Thoughts?

Video: The Bite, The Owner of Riley's Speaks, The Surveillance Footage and Sebastian Bach Says "Welcome Home"

The story on Sebastian Bach's bad homecoming continues to unfold. In an interview with CHEX Newswatch (see video below), Riley's bar owner Jim Kakouros says the commotion started at around midnight when Bach and his buddies apparently started to heckle the singer at the bar. Soon after, all hell broke loose when they were asked to leave. And TMZ has obtained the surveillance footage at Riley's showing what went down. When asked about the charges Monday as he was being placed in a police cruiser, Bach only had this to say: "Welcome home."

The Wooden Sky Performing Outside The Red Dog

/

Because it's not enough to just perform inside The Red Dog, don't you know. Bands also play outside it, too. Think The Silver Hearts, for example. And now The Wooden Sky after a recent gig there.

So who's going to rock the sidewalk outside of the Red Dog next? Arkells, perhaps?
