Anyone else hear three shots last night around 1am? Red river- Junot area.

I’m looking for a local artist by the name of MATTI ALATYPPO. I have one of his pieces of artwork from years ago and would like another. Anyone know where to get in contact with him?

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy my first car and could really use some advice from people who know the Thunder Bay used-car market.

My budget is around $10,000, and I’m mainly looking for something reliable that I can keep for several years without constantly worrying about expensive repairs. I’ve been looking at Toyota RAV4s, Honda CR-Vs, and Mazda CX-5s, preferably AWD because of the winters here.

I’ve been checking Facebook Marketplace and contacting dealerships, but I’m finding it surprisingly difficult to find something that seems like a good balance of price, mileage, condition, and reliability. A lot of the cheaper SUVs I’ve come across have significant rust, high mileage, or are from models/brands I’m less confident about.

Since this will be my first car, I’m also leaning toward an SUV rather than a sedan. The street where I live doesn’t always get cleared quickly during heavy snow, so I’m worried about getting stuck, especially since I’ll be driving through the winter.

I’m not necessarily looking for something fancy—I’d honestly be happy with an older, well-maintained vehicle if it’s mechanically solid and likely to be reliable.

For those of you who have bought used cars in Thunder Bay, am I approaching this the wrong way? Are there any dealerships, mechanics, websites, or specific models/years you would recommend looking at? And is a ~$10k budget realistic for what I’m looking for?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Recently i noticed that multiple self checkout registers ( including the whole registers near pharmacy)were closed during busy times . The wait time to check out is getting a bit long .

I drove out to BC in May before the fires, but now I see on Google maps multiple wildfires right up to the highway, is it still safe to drive in from the west?

Sorry to ask this stupid question, but I’m in my first trimester and can’t get enough chocolate milk. Has anybody seen chocolate milk in bags around town ?

What's the latest grist of the PA rumour mill these days regarding the old Hoito site? Is there any kind of potential for renewed development on the near or distant horizon?

Looking to get a new furnace or furnace air conditioner. Any pointers? Best places to go look? Who to ask if I have any questions? Coming up on winter and don't want a motor failure like some years ago on my older furnace. Also, might be more fuel efficient.

Thanks in advance...

I dont think any employees showed up today. Waited outside till 9:30 to nothing, also their phone isn't being picked up

How necessary is it to get a remote starter in a car in thunder bay? I see most of the cars in here have remote starter installed so I was wondering if I should get one installed in my Car ( VW Jetta 2015 Tdi)? Also, how much will it cost me if i decide to get it installed also, is it possible to install it myself ?

Long story short. My computer is probably about 15 years old or more and it's been getting more slow. I don't know how much longer it might go on so decided to start saving up some money for a laptop (Was starting to for a Switch 2 but this is more important and I'm in no rush to getting the latter).

So I wanted to ask what places here in the city is best to get one and at what lowest prices?

Hey gang, does anyone know where I could rent a 12 foot tin boat with trolling motor (~<10 HP) in Dryden? Would need it next week for an afternoon, and need to be able to pick it up and launch it from the shoreline.

Please leave a comment or dm me 💯

Why

I know everyone has their favourite story about people not knowing not knowing how to function on a roundabout... people who think stopping at a red light before making a right turn is just a suggestion... the thunder bay left turn where you just kind of drift wide into the right lane mid-turn instead of staying in your lane, but now the latest trend I am seeing is at a 4-way stop. Now I know it is hard for some drivers to figure out who goes first... but lately I am seeing that when it is someones turn to go... not only do they go... but the car immediately behind them drives with them through the intersecton like they are tethered to car #1. This was a new one on me, but now I have watched it first hand two days in a row. Something new I guess. Who knew this was an option?

I havent heard much about this place but the menu looks delish! I always forget about it until i have to sit at those damn lights forever😂 Any thoughts or vibes about it? I see they are often hiring which makes me wonder why. I want eggs benny lol.

With Encampments being somewhat of a situation all over the place in the country. As there are several in this city as well. Yes it is hard to just force someone out as they will just move to another location. What are your thoughts? On Encampments, the situations?

Solutions? Of course a solution is complicated? what could be a few steps to at least make the situation somewhat more tolerable. As there are many "needs" that need to be done for those people as situation can e very complicated?

like to hear your thoughts and ideas?

My elderly mother lives out of town and would like to send flowers to a relative in Thunder Bay after the recent passing of their mother.

I’m helping her arrange it. We’re looking for something appropriate for sympathy that can be delivered to their home. She is living on a pension, so ideally something thoughtful and nice without being too expensive.

Any recommendations for a good local florist, or even a particular arrangement or type of flowers you’ve had a good experience with recently?

Thanks in advance!
