Yours Food Mart
Nice Asian Grocery Store
This grocery store not just caters to all Asian food needs, I have also found Latin American stuff such as corn flour and "Abuelita" Chocolate from Mexico. My wife found most foods reasonably priced. Meat department has one of the best deals. This store was even opened on Canada Day! This is the 2nd time we visit.
Whenever we visit Toronto we'll be doing the shopping before heading back to Ottawa. Only drawback is that it's hard to communicate with staff as most don't speak English.

Millennium Overlook Park
Interesting Park (at the far end of Collingwood).
Decided to take a small detour as we were heading back to Orillia from Bruce Peninsula during our summer road trip back in Aug 2022. View of Georgian Bay was super. Facilities were minimal but neat and tidy. We witnessed what appeared to be a sort of emergency fire drill with a bunch of helicopters, police cruses, ambulances, and fire trucks. The only bad thing about this place is that eyesore gray building looking more like an abandoned silo or something. Maybe it should be demolished (just my own opinion).
PS: And yes I agree with several folks who complained about parking using your cell phone to pay. I am not a phone person and I DO NOT CARE about having data-plans. I WANTED TO PAY for parking but there was no other option so we took a risk and didn't pay. It seems like that EVERYWHERE. And like some folks in these reviews, Collingwood and all other small towns and cities: they are killing their own tourism industry. They should also accommodate for people with no cell phone. Even in places like Ottawa, Toronto, or east of Orillia one can find parking machines that at least allows one to use other methods of payments. My 2 cents!

Historic Thornbury Wooden Trestle Bridge
Marvelous Little Urban Park
My family and visited Georgian Bay as part of a grand road trip to Bruce Peninsula last August 2022 and stumbled across this little town with a wonderful rest area. Too bad we only spend 25 min due to the intense rainstorm that was chasing us. The Beaver Trail, Georgian Trail, and wooden bridge were nice to tour. Even the ruins were unique and so was the Iron men across the Beaver River. Will definite come again.

Town Square
Part of Times Square, the epic center of NY entertainment district.
Came here quite a few times already (1981, 2004, 2006, and most recently 2018) with family and friends. The latest during our road trip to NY 2018. The nightlife is breathtaking (came here right after watching a Broadway show) and the next day during the day. Lots of entertainment to see for free. It can be quite overwhelming, so we purposely chose to come during the non-rush hour weekday. My wife and grown-up kids enjoyed the scene.

Visitor Centre Lookout Tower
Well worth climbing the steps to the top!
View is amazing. Liked the idea of having multiple lookouts to gasp at the breathtaking views of Bruce Peninsula and Georgian Bay from different angles.
