Pssst - want to buy your neighbours' junk
If you do head on down to the largest yard-sale in the province. Sales from one end of the Town to the other. This collectin of tables was in Victoria park, presumably these folks either came from out of Town or live in apartments. The best buy of the day was at the Library book sale - five for a dollar, everyone else was at least fifty cents or a dollar each. Great fun and a wonderful Saturday morning.

... where's the beer tent?
That is not Victoria Park. Ben was just testing us again.
OK folks think a bit. The post was about COLBORNE that means Vic Park COLBORNE!! Cobourg doesn't have copywrite on the name Victoria Park.
and how are we to ascertain that the post is about Colborne, my dear Watson?
Some readers must not get out of town much. The statue in the picture was a dead giveaway that this was Colborne's delightful little town square. Only a mystery for a split second.
@ Anonymous,
Because you can't see downtown like that from Vic Park in Cobourg. . .also we don't have a statue to the unknown solider (the right).
it's pretty obvious it isn't Cobourg.
btw - the name used to refer to this space (by the NT) is Victoria Square Park, subtle but clear distinction.
and for Mrs Baker, et al, that still doesn't mean it's Colborne since there is no reference to that in the post - you have to be familiar with that village to have any clue about this
Yes it is obvious that it ain't Cobourg, but the article did not identify the community. Insofar as not being able to get out, it is true. I am too poor to drive around the region enough times to memorize the regional communities in detail. But I thank those with the money and means to do so for their condescension towards the ignorant. Ben says the post was about Colborne, however, not once in the article was it identified as such.
Foster Russell, former publisher/editor of the Cobourg Sentinel Star drilled it into my head when I worked for him, that 'names' are imperitive to good journalism. Alas, Ben drives trucks -- does it pay better than being a Cobourg town councillor.
