CHATHAM- Where there are curbs and rails and smooth cement, you will find skateboarding enthusiasts and our small city is no different. Except now they have a premo shop to pick up the latest boards and other gear that hasn't been available from a Chatham retailer since 2014. Family Skateboard Company has found a comfy home on King Street and they're offering free lessons and a very special kind of home grown skate culture.

CHATHAM: Growing your own has never been more popular, whether it's cannabis or the freshest vegetables you've ever eaten. The experts at Maple City Grower's Emporium can help you do both. Even among the pandemic lockdowns and exasperating construction, this hard-tested entrepreneur isn't backing down.

BLENHEIM- The building is just as fascinating as the tap menu at the Red Barn Brewing Company. Reclaimed wood and home-milled timber make up the bones of this gorgeous, brand new building and if their team puts half as much work into the brewing as they did the construction the beer will be magical. After a sold out opening day a year ago, the family at Red Barn is still pulling together to keep up the momentum. Denny gives us a tour and talks about putting in the time it takes to brew small batch craft beer that has as much heart as flavour. www.redbarnbrewing.com.

TILBURY- A buoyant new option has hit the housing market and is attracting all types of buyers.
