The Meridian Source would like to try something new. With that in mind, we bring you beefs and bouquets … a place to share the good, bad and ugly around the Border City.
The idea is similar to rant and rave Facebook pages, except right here in the paper.
Have an issue, or beef, with something you see on the street? Let us know.
See something you liked on the street and want the community to know about it? Share it with us!
I recently saw something at the south 7-Eleven location I felt the need to share.
BOUQUETS
“A big bouquet goes to former Lloydminster Motor Club head honcho, Randy Marsh. He was recently spotted buying a slice of pizza for a member of the unhoused community at 7-Eleven at Highway 17 and 36 St. Good job, Randy!”
I also, however, have a couple beefs to get off my chest.
BEEFS
“Lloyminster hockey fans ... learn to wait for a stop-in-play to get up to go to your seats. I lost count of how many times people were getting up and down during play at Friday’s Lloydminster Bobcats game.”
“Lloydminster drivers ... smarten up. Maybe it’s the fact I haven’t had a drop of alcohol since July 2023 ... but alcohol-free Taylor is under the impression there’s a lot of impaired drivers on the roads. If it’s not impairment, it’s pure stupidity. Give your heads a shake and keep it safe out there.”
Beefs and bouquets can be anonymous, but we encourage submissions to include a first name. Please note, beefs and bouquets will be printed at the Meridian Source’s discretion.
Have a beef or bouquet? Email it to taylor@meridiansource.ca
