PARKSIDE’S CORNER MARKET Open: Monday - Saturday 9:00am - 6:30pm and Sunday 10:00am - 6:00pm. For more info call: 705-737-2122. A familiar name in Barrie culinary circles is now trying something different at one of the city’s oldest variety stores.

Jim Garraway, who has been a noted chef in several Barrie restaurants, including one on Dunlop Street which bore his name, and an instructor at Georgian College, recently became the owner of the building on the edge of downtown at 38 Parkside Dr., He grew up in the neighbourhood and knows it well. Garraway did extensive renovations, reopening late in 2014 as Parkside’s Corner Market. It’s still a convenience store, with everything from snack food to lottery tickets, but also sells fresh produce and, of course, meals cooked up by Garraway, including everything from salads to quiche, desserts to pasta and wraps. He has his own smoker for smoked chicken and ribs and there is a different soup offered every day. Most food is available fresh but there are also some frozen meals. Almost everything is $12 and under. Check it Out!!!

How to Boost Curb Appeal‚ Starting with the Front Door!

Photo Source: Pinterest.com

It’s time for an exterior makeover to add more curb appeal! Whether you’re a real estate agent preparing a house to sell or a homeowner in need of a fresh new look, here are some simple front door tricks that can help boost curb appeal, and ensure visitors and home buyers get a good first impression as soon as they arrive at the doorstep.

4. Accent with lighting. For night-time curb appeal and safety, add a row of exterior accent lighting to illuminate a walking path with groundinsert solar lights. Or consider solar spotlights to bring out landscaping or architectural focal points. Install new matching light fixtures outside the front door, garage door or patio door to create an inviting feel and provide welllit doorways to greet visiting neighbors, guests, or potential home buyers. 5. Create points of interest with plants. Add pops of color by arranging potted plants around the front door, or on a porch or deck. Incorporate planters or container gardens of varied sizes, shapes and colors to add visual interest. Also, planting flowerbeds along driveways and walkways gives off a softer, more inviting feel.

3. Refresh exterior and trim colors. Now’s also time to add a new storm door to help keep out the elements, or to add a refreshing coat of paint on your existing exterior doors for a fresh look. For a dramatic change, repaint the exterior. You can also change trim color to refresh the home’s exterior impact. When updating trim, choose color schemes that match its primary exterior color, or complement it with a fresh twist.

By Courtney Soinski

“When replacing your old front door, choose from one that accents your home’s style, with high-performance features that help keep out air and water, and low-maintenance convenience like durable pre-finished options with coordinating trim,” says door and window expert Kathy Krafka Harkema.
