And if you missed it, here's what happened last week:

Last week, BarrieToday reporter Shawn Gibson tried to answer some age-old questions, such as whether pineapple belongs on pizza, is wearing socks to bed appropriate, and calling out people who lather their Kraft Dinner with ketchup. These are things that keep him up at night, kind of like sticking to his guns that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. Ho-ho-ho.   

Also, columnist Wendy King said all she wants is good customer service. In last week's Everything King, Wendy says she is all about buying local and has bought into that mantra, but also wants service to be kept local, too, not to mention high quality.
