Paul Pfeiffer and Howard Gibbs didn't know quite what they were getting into when they came up with the idea to open a movie rental store. Their friends said the concept would be an "effort in futility," and yet 8 1/2 years later Have you Seen... remains the best place to find a rental flick in the Patch.

By March 12, 2011, 10-digit local calling will be mandatory for all calls made from our 705 area code, with the actual transition to 10-digit dialing starting January 15th.
We will also be gaining a new area code of 249 starting March 19th, 2011, as the 705 area code is running out of available numbers. (Existing customers get to keep their current 705 area code.)

There were lots of shady spots to throw a towel down and listen to Kate LeDeuce After a sold-out show at a special opening night event on Friday night, Peterborough Folk Festival had a fantastic turnout on Saturday during their full day of events.

The 'learning to drum' stage turned into quite a gathering
There were numerous vendors, including a Hula-hooping workshop
And here's The McFlies covering "Sunglasses at Night" at PFF:
