Barrie Haters Unite!

Wow, I'm almost speechless... not only does this blog live on, it's getting more and more page views and comments as time goes on. In some twisted, sadistic way, that makes me happy! :) More and more "Barrie haters" are coming out of the woodwork. I knew I wasn't the only one who disliked Barrie. So many of you have written lately, with most of you agreeing that Barrie is not such a great city (to say the least). You've got all kinds of reasons. Some are the same as mine, some are a lot different. But at least we all share one thing in common - our feelings about how much BARRIE SUCKS!

It's been almost a year and half since I left Barrie, and it's been WONDERFUL! I feel like such a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I only wish my parents would leave Barrie. I keep in touch with a few people I met in Barrie, and almost all of them have moved away! A few months ago, I came for a visit to see my parents and I felt a knot forming in stomach even before I got back to that horrid city. Needless to say, I did not enjoy being there and could not wait to leave!

So to all of you who didn't like Barrie and left, congratulations! I know what a wonderful feeling it is to leave a city you hate, namely Barrie. You've no doubt found happiness and satisfaction somewhere else, as I have. And to those of you who regret ever setting foot in Barrie and can't wait to leave... I wish you good luck in making the break as soon as possible. Do it, you'll be glad you did. And if you happen to like Barrie, well then good for you! You can't please all of the people all of the time.

Lastly, I'm really happy this blog has been available as a resource to people who currently live in Barrie, have lived in Barrie or were/are actually considering moving there. Many of you have read the pages of this blog and some of you have posted a reply. For that I thank you. And if it helped to just "vent" your frustrations about Barrie, I'm glad, and happy that you were able to do it here.
