Hunter St.
The business area pictured above just off Hunter Street is going to be a hopping spot over the next while with businesses on the move!
Old Wine Shoppe location
BE Catering is moving from 188 Hunter to the old Wine Shoppe location at 356 Charlotte Street, and is slated to open this Fall.
Birchbark Media is moving from the Charlotte Mews to the old Burrow location when Burrow moves to 242 Hunter Street.
Glow Maternity will be moving in November from their current location into the BE Catering space. This will allow Glow to grow its retail presence, be more accessible to the public, and still maintain their popular studio space for courses and workshops for expectant families in the Peterborough area.

PUC has also tweeted out about the scam, warning the public...
