A place for dancer’s pose The Yoga Collective appears to be the longest-running continuous yoga studio in Stratford.

Next up in the Stratford Like A Local series from Teahen Tales: A place for dancer's pose. A look at both the Yoga Collective, the longest-running studio in town, and the historic place it inhabits. #Stratford #TeahenTales #yoga #dance

From Pounders to pints Pounder Bros. Construction was a pre-eminent builder in 20th-century Stratford, Ontario, and the family also ran the go-to hardware and lumber yard for trades known as Pounders. I remember going there in 2001, when renovating the first house I owned in Stratford. It was quirky, old-timey, and likely had that weird hoojit you needed for the job at hand. Pounders closed in 2013 and the building was vacant for a few years before Stratford construction workers Dave Oldenburger and Phil Buhler decided to launch a brewery together in 2016.
