Anyone know what’s burning right now close to hillcrest? Can see a huge line of black smoke in the sky coming from what looks to be possibly the Hillcrest Towers apartments on the cr of high and red River
I remember seeing about one on Facebook before quite a while ago now, but I don’t have social media anymore. Anyone know of any places that do sewing lessons in the city? I’ve tried googling and didn’t find anything. A group setting would be nice.
So I booked the north end rec for the 15th of January and bought a projector. I'm gonna show a bunch of weird avante garde short films, maybe talk about them, maybe interview some of the local film makers. It's super loose right now so I thought I would reach out to the community and see if there are any film makers lurking here that have a short they would want to show. That or poetry to read or art to hang up or somthing.
The idea is to try and grow a little community, show some movies, let the weirdness escape the phones for a bit. It's a bit of a longshot In the dark as I don't have any money. Gonna run it by donation and hopefuly get enough to pay for the hall, prob not tho. It's not about money it's about DIY and community.
Anyone want to get involved?
With Novemburger drawing to a close, I thought it might be fun to share our rankings so far.
There’s still time to go get another one!
Mine, least-favourite to favourite:
Outlaws. Had high hopes for this one based on the description and the TBNewsWatch review, but the bacon jam was too sweet for me and the breaded mozzarella slice was too much.
Daytona’s. It was fine. Nothing particularly stood out about it — just a run of the mill burger.
Bonobos. This one was quite good, although I personally prefer their wild rice patty to the seed patty this came with — I don’t love the sunflower seeds in it. Artichokes and pesto were delish.
Neebing Roadhouse. Interesting one — more of a sausage patty than a burger. Good flavor, but kind of dry — could have used more sauce.
El Tres. So good. Loved everything about it. Just a delicious mess of ground chorizo and chuck, queso, pico de galo, and crispy onion. I’d have this again in a heartbeat.
Wanted to try Norteños and Paddy Wagon, but didn’t get around to it.
What about you?
It’s been four years since the leadership changed at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. How has Dr. Rhonda Crocker Ellacott’s leadership changed the work culture?
This is probably a dumb question but I picked the worst time to do online Christmas shopping and the strike started right when my packages all reached Canada. I'm a student and it's my first ever Christmas that I've had the money to get good gifts for my parents and I really wanted to make this Christmas special for them with gifts.
I'm not going to complain about Canadian post because they just want fair pay, but I'm really worried that the strike won't end until after Christmas.
So does anyone know if I can and if anyone has been able to pick up their packages from Canadian post in Tbay?
Hi, just wanted to see if there are any special events going on in Decemeber. Looking for things to do with guests. I know the CN Holiday Train is coming on Dec 2 and wondering if there's anything else going on the rest of the month. Thanks!
My water bill is this month and I can’t find any instructions from the city on how to find the amount is said bill, only media statements asking people to use online payment methods.
I feel like the answer is going to be to call the city but was wondering if anyone had run into this yet.
Hello Thunder Bayites, hoping someone could help. I had a nice lady who would come to my home and cut my hair. Unfortunately half of my contacts have disappeared from my phone (stupid technology) and I lost Brenda’s number I think I originally saw it on FB but not sure.
If anyone knows someone who does this or can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks from a technologically challenged shaggy haired boomer.

Just wondering if there's other places besides Marnic's. I've used their service before but I just knowing if there's other options to try out.
Good or bad? Thinking of renting a unit there. Would like some input before I apply
I have a prepaid SIM card with $300 on the account, would anyone be interested in buying this off me for $200? I have it listed on eBay if you just search for tbaytel
Does anybody know what this "boreal urgent care" is on Algoma or memorial? Seems very interesting. I've not heard a review or seen advertising for it. What is this thing? I know that we've opened the door to privatized healthcare and as a union member, I guess I reluctantly See the need for discussion, but what is this place?
Where is this Korean food place called Sunny’s kitchen? Google says 84 Hull Ave but it’s just a residential house with no signs whatsoever. Confused and want to eat delicious food.
Hi! I’ve been in thunder bay for almost a year and am realizing I need dental care.
I have complex dental history (20+ oral surgeries, implants, etc) and the trauma that came with it.
Looking for a communicative and highly knowledgeable dentist (especially in regard to cleft palate patients).
Let me know if any recommendations or folks to avoid. Thank you!
Does anyone here know which bus goes to or by Alloy Place? I want to go buy some new gloves at Gear Up for Outdoors.
Thanks
Like the title says which place was a total let down that tried making one this year.
Hello Thunderbay! As the title states, seeking recs for a reputable insurance agency for tenant insurance. Thanks in advance!
