US Shopping

In the new year I’m going to get a US Costco membership and do regular runs to Duluth.

Would anyone be interested having anything picked up from the US on a regular basis?

What's wrong with Drivewise?

Can someone give me an example of why they are "bad" school? I actually got them recommended by few local driving schools with very good reputation. They recommended me them, because I wasn't fitting they're schedule since they're teaching only during the days and not after 4 PM.

Snow Removal - Rural

Looking for recommendations for snow removal north of the city. It's a private road with a couple of residences, so a larger job. Our current guy may retire.

Plumber Recommendation?

I’m finally ready to admit defeat, and accept I can’t get my shower/bathroom sink drain unclogged. I’ve tried a couple different kinds of snakes and several rounds of Drano/Liquid Plumr. Thought I had it gone about a month ago, but it’s back :(.

Does anyone have a plumber they’d recommend? I’ve never had to call one before.

Thanks!! :)

Are there any Eastern Europeans in Tbay?

Hey friends!

Before you start hating me, I just want to note that English is my main language for communication, and I only hang out with Canadians. It's just that I also want to practice my Russian. :D I was wondering if there are any Russian-speaking Eastern Europeans or Asians that live in town? Would be cool to hang out a bit with the tbay Slavs. :D

Hope you have an amazing day! :D

Share your stories of the Thunder Bay Restaurant

I never got to check out this place when it was open, and the stories I've heard from friends are hilarious. Please tell me about any stories you have of this place and the owner.

75, Academy.dr and neighborhood.

Why are there so many child abusers and drug dealers here? Living here literally everyday there is some creepy crap involving children and drug dealers. The amount of cameras in the neighborhood is absurd too.

I don't understand how these people living on welfare and ODSP can even afford the amount of drugs they do EVEN with Rent Geared to Income.

Can anyone rationally explain this to me please?

Tbay transportation history

Metro Vancouver's transit operator, Translink, is retiring 150 Mark I Skytrain cars, many of which were built at the CanCar plant in Thunder Bay. Translink has put out a proposal asking what should be done with the cars. Hopefully 1 makes it back to the old CanCar plant for display.

Kevin Holland Brochure

As in, I found one in my mailbox. Something that has never occurred before.

I’m thinking he does not care about me any more than he did before.

So maybe he has some other motivation.

Best “hole in the wall” restaurant

I’ve lived in Thunder Bay my whole life, and I’ve driven by many restaurants that have been there for decades. Many of them I’ve never stepped foot into. I often think “if they’ve been there for that long, they MUST do something right.”

What’s the best one in town? I don’t mind a sketchy location if it’s for good food.

Any creative writers in Thunder Bay?

UPDATE:

You guys have said you are interested so I present a discord group where we can talk and discuss where and when to meet up!

https://discord.gg/hvMfZ5xp

Hello, I've recently moved to Thunder Bay and I have no friends. I am a writer and I am looking to try to make a little creative writing group, if anyone is interested. The idea is to bounce ideas off one another or maybe do some creative writing exercises and share with each other for feedback! Maybe meeting up once a week? If there are people interested I will totally be interested in arranging it! Let me know :)

Trump wins 47 President of USA

I thought Harris was the presumptive next President of the USA. I hope tariffs do not destroy our local economy.
