How much does Brandon Slavik love Peterborough? Well enough to get this amazing work of art on his arm (see pics below). As he explains to us: "I have it on my left arm. It originally started out with the Superman symbol when I was 18 and I decided to turn it into a sleeve with a different layout. I am born and raised in this town and take pride in the skyline that our town offers. All of the buildings have meaning to myself/family or are unique to our City. I have St. John's Anglican Church, Quaker Oats, Hunter St. Bridge, Times Square Clock, Market Hall, Lift Lock and the Peterborough Water Tower. My childhood friend and amazing Tattoo Artist Scott Mason spent over 8 hours on the arm in two sittings. He came up with the layout and we agreed on the shots of the buildings and which buildings we put in there. The neat thing was the more we started talking, the more buildings we wanted to include (like our childhood school King George) but my arm was not big enough to fit everything on." Wow.

Peterborough's roboteyes has just released their debut album. It has a distinct 80s new wave, synthpop sound that lands somewhere around the feel of early eighties British duo Yaz (aka Yazoo).
Their first single, "Break My Heart", could become a hit if it gets radio airplay.
Band members include Kate LeDeuce, vocals; Ryan Ford, guitar/vocals; Matt Servo, synthesis; and Marty Kerslake, bass.
Have a listen to the 4-track album or download it here.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Das Bootleg Studios in Toronto.

hiTOPS Facebook page photoThe iconic hiTOPS sign in downtown Peterborough has come down, and been replaced with this sign pictured below for a new Thai restaurant.
hiTOPS Chinese Restaurant had been undergoing renovations for sometime, but much speculation has surrounded whether it would in fact re-open with the same name and ownership.
hiTOPS, and its facade, has been a landmark downtown. It has been locally owned and operated for four generations by the Hum family, and has been in business here for over 100 years.
Now, in its place, is Real Thai Cuisine restaurant.
No word yet from the hiTOP owners on what happened, and whether in fact they own this new restaurant.
