There is an interesting new restaurant in Warkworth. Phil Smith is the new owner of the 100 Mile Diner at 17 Main Street in Warkworth.

Back on the Rack clothing store opens
Back on the Rack, New & Recycled Fashions is now open on George Street North, between Brock and Hunter Streets, in Downtown Peterborough. Owner Penny Indelicati says the second-hand inventory changes on a daily basis and is hand-picked for quality and distinctiveness. The clothing and accessories are all top brands, trendy and clean. The store offers cash for clothes on the spot with no appointment necessary. Buying recycled clothing also means that you can feel particularly smug for not only saving money, but saving the planet!
