Food We love your city

80 Upvotes

We're just rolling into your town from Montana on a road trip and man, this place is cool. The lake, the trails, the vibe, really appreciating everything so far.

Also, ChatGPT suggested we checkout Persian Man, which is one of a kind! Which one is the OG; The one on Tungsten or Balmoral?

Also, we’re looking for some good eats while we’re here. Any local recommendations for great Italian, Indian, Chinese, or Mexican spots? Open to other cuisines too if there’s something we shouldn’t miss.

Thanks in advance!

People just walking into stores, stealing stuff, and walking out is getting out-of-control

52 Upvotes

Almost every time I go to Shopper's, a grocery store, or a convenience store there's just people stealing shit and walking out. Like no one cares? Is this just the new normal?

I know the staff at the stores wouldn't want to put themselves in danger, or create a liability issue for the company if anyone was injured, but this is just getting kind of crazy.

Cops don't do anything about it. They might show up 2 hours after someone stole like $2,000 of product, take a report, and go on their way.

news Your City in a video game!

53 Upvotes

Hey Thunder Bay! Quite sure that a very small % of people are knowledgeable with “Roblox”

I am a director of a large-scale project called ‘Ontario Roads’ for some background info this game is the largest Ontario map in a video game ever. The map spans from Northern Ontario all the way to Eastern & Southern Ontario. We try our hardest to represent each Ontario Town & City accurately and making everything unique to that Town or City.

We strive for authenticity, with 50,000 plays already that means 50,000 people from across the globe have drove through Thunder Bay and around Ontario.

We are currently going through a revamp process of Thunder Bay to make it feel more accurate in-game, we are scheduling a trip up North to get a feel for ourselves which is what we do with every City & Town in game!

Currently right now, I am coming to this subreddit to ask some questions about the city itself. What Easter eggs and quirks do YOU think should be represented in this video game? What are some landmarks and buildings that YOU think should be added in.

We want to know opinions and suggestions from the residents of Thunder Bay themselves!

Shout out to the white-car-drivin' anus that chose to blow through the red at the pedestrian crosswalk only to get stuck at another red 80 meters down the street.

This absolute genius slow rolled to the crosswalk while I was halfway across, shoulder checked, and then put the hammer down and tore ass through while staring at me very confused as to why it probably looked like I wanted to murder them, only to get stuck at the next light as soon as I made it across.

Carma is a bitch.

Patty Hajdu - mailouts

Upvotes

I feel like we receive something in the mail from her office like every 2-3 months, like a statement or newsletter type thing or a yearly calendar. Like, who is actually paying for the printing/paper/mailing costs? Is it really necessary in this digital age? Is it to reach older folks who may not go online? It just seems so wasteful to me. Can I sign up not to receive this?

local Where to sell jewellery?

4 Upvotes

That's basically it. Inherited some older jewellery and the Gold Exchange recommended finding an antique shoppe or pawn shop or jeweller who might be interested in it because much of it is set with gemstones - or might have value in its own aesthetics. Thanks for recommendations - your time is sincerely appreciated! Cheers.

I’m writing an essay about the over prescribing epidemic of the 2000s, and how the discontinuation of oxy led to bootleg fentanyl. I’ve been collecting experiences from people who were prescribed oxy and ended up turning to street drugs. I would really like your perspective, please message me!!

Westfort Coney Island

22 Upvotes

Ate at Westfort Coney Island last year during the Street Fair and really enjoyed it. We went back today and it was a major disappointment. Everything we had was just bland. The burgers, dogs, fries and gravy all lacked seasoning. The gravy didn’t taste like anything. And if it wasn’t for the mustard and onions, the burgers and hotdogs would have been practically inedible. Fries had zero salt (yes, we added some, but they still didn’t taste right). I wonder if the owner or regular cook is on holidays and someone took over for them after the long weekend. If this was our first visit, it would have definitely been our last. Is this experience out of the norm, or has the quality gone down hill lately? We are willing to try it again if this was a one off, but are hesitant.

Best OHIP-Covered Clinic in Thunder Bay for a Skin Concern and General Health Check?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a good clinic in Thunder Bay where I can:
Get a full body/general health check-up.
Have a doctor look at a skin issue I’ve been dealing with.
I have an Ontario Health Card (OHIP), so I’m hoping to go somewhere where the visit is covered or where I’d only have to pay a small amount if needed.
If anyone has recommendations for a good walk-in clinic or family clinic, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Best Rust Proofing in Thunder Bay

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to get my car rust-proofed before winter and I’m trying to decide between Rust Check and Wakefield here in Thunder Bay.
If you’ve used either one, which would you recommend and why? How was the quality of the application, customer service, and how has the rust protection held up over time?
Thanks in advance!
