25 Things Cornwall, ON People Know Too Well

The bitter truth of it all.

25 Things Cornwall, ON People Know Too Well
City of Cornwall

1. Every wannabe Slim Shady has a music video.

And because the OG's are so badass, they have mall cops in their videos.

2. The ski hill is made from industrial waste.

Cornwall has a ski hill in the middle of town, right behind Lowe's (formerly Walmart) which in and of itself is strange af. What makes it even worse/more hysterical is that it is made of garbage, pulp from Domtar and other industrial waste.

3. "Springtime in Cornwall" is it's own aroma.

Fill your senses with flagrant fragrant, musky floral smell of rotting garbage, with hints of seductive and soft sulfur, and notes of crow feces and homegrown marijuana.

4. The garbage crows in Cornwall are so revered, every basic white girl has them tattooed on.

(yes, those are the crows resting)

5. The Bar Scene blows.

Literally. Blow jobs in the bathrooms? Its happened.

The Glengarrian is like for people 30+ (mostly like 65+ though). Dekes is like 18 and under. Lola's is usually empty. La Maison is a Sunday and Wednesday karaoke night only kind of place. The Rendezvous is sketchy. Bills is tiny. The Vu is closed now (thank god!). Any others I forgot? Probably a good thing.

6. If you don't preach about Jesus at the 2nd Street Tim Horton's, you're a sinner.

7. Forget garden gnomes, carts are the lawn ornament of choice.

If you don't possess a shopping cart in every color, how do you one up your neighbor?

8. For your health's sake, the Cornwall Square really wants you to take the stairs.

The escalator's broken again.

9. It hurt your soul a bit when the bridge was torn down.

Even if you've never crossed it, it still gave you the feels. Oh the pillar's coming down today? Better park my lawn chair on the Brookdale sidewalk.

10. Guns and drugs were pedaled through everyone's favorite shawarma restaurant, which coincidentally is right across from the police station.

And it took them how long for them to bust the place? The shawarma was so good, they needed assault rifles to protect their recipe, which apparently contained cocaine.


11. "Kay, so you're telling me I have to hit this blinker thingy when I want to turn or merge lanes?"

Yes. For the love of god, use your turn signal.

12. Want to join a cult? Join the gym.

I'm not saying Caveman Strong and Quest are cults, but according to Webster's Dictionary:

"Cult: /kəlt/ 1. a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. 2. a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing."

*cough cough* paleo. *cough cough* only eating at certain restaurants that are owned by fellow gym-goers. *cough cough* crossfit. *cough cough* god complexes. *cough cough* anti-gluten.

13. Honda Civics. Everywhere.

"What's that buzzing sound? Is that mosquitos?" No that's the engine of a Civic.

14. That being said, you probably own a "race car".

Know what "racecar" spelt backwards is? "You wish, bud."

15. The Jehovah's Witnesses bombard the city each year.

Can I get a Witness!?!

16. Everyone has a story about Ryan Gosling. And has dated him, apparently.

Mind you, he looked like this when he lived here:

17. The Vu had to prohibit sweatpants and dirty wifebeaters.

I'm sorry, I thought wearing decent clothes when you go out went without saying, but my bad.

18. People are always out and about in pajamas.

Did Cornwall have the world's largest slumber party, and I was just not invited? Rude.

19. "He's cute." "So are his 6 kids."

"Wait, isn't he only 25?" "Uh, yeah." That being said, if you don't have 3 kids by 21, you're probably going to die alone.

20. Ribfest is more exciting than the Canada Day celebrations.

We all know it's true. Fireworks are great and all, but the fireworks in your mouth when you get some 'Bama or Texas style ribs? That's where it's at.

21. Your neighbor is most likely a dealer.

Have you ever wondered if you neighbor is a dealer? Does the whole apartment complex smell like cat pee? Like a skunk? Do they regularly break into your apartment and raid the fridge? Yeah, most likely a dealer.

22. You know people who were destroyed when the Frontiere burned down.

Rose in the Titanic, "Give me a lap dance like one of them French girls!"

Let's be real, it was either the jealous baby mamas that didn't want their men spending all their baby bonus there, or the owner had to do it because fire was the only way to sterilize the place.

23. "It's POO-TIN, not POO-TEEN!"

Those Americans and Western Canadians can stfu.

24. We loved Taco Bell, but it didn't love us back.

25. The only decent schools are Catholic.

But according to your last 3 baby daddies, you're not, so you have to slum it at CC or St. Whorence.


So there are the 25 Things People of Cornwall, Ontario know too well. It may have offended you. It may have made you laugh. It may have you packing your bags to gtfo of Cornwall. It's the rough truth of living here.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
