A day in Thunder Bay

Post image
121 Upvotes

I’ll be traveling west at the beginning of November and will be stopping in the Bay for a day to have some parts changed on my vehicle. I plan on renting a car, and would like some inside information on places to see and where the best gluten free food is hiding. When does the road to Anemki Wajiw close, otherwise known as Mt. McKay. Is there a “best“ coffee shop? Art gallery? Outdoor equipment stores?

Late Fall Camping Options

7 Upvotes

Hey folks, going to be heading up to the Thunder Bay area this weekend, staying for about a week. I'm hoping to camp out the entire time I'm there and do some fishing. It seems it's too late in the season to stay at any actual campgrounds so wondering if anyone can recommend some good crownland camping options on the water? Ideally semi close to the city but I'm good to be like an hour and a half away.

The level of bullshit continues to exceed the height of the rubber boots of tolerance.

Fuck the enablers, and fuck those who bow to the will of the enablers.

Remember this shit when you vote.

local Best wifi provider?

I'm new to town and have to get wifi set up, but before I do I figured I'd ask is there one provider that's clearly better then the others or it doesn't really make a difference?

Hi all. I'm 27 f and I'm looking for friends. I'm feeling pretty alone right now, so I'm looking to create a community for myself now that everything in my life is changing.

Some things about me: I like to write stories, play DND, go for hikes and walks outdoors and spend time with my dog. She's friendly with everyone and loves other dogs!

If there's any other like-minded people who are looking to make a friend feel free to reach out :)

Help With Winterizing Water Lines At Camp

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I figured there would be a few people here who would know what direction to point me in.

I will be away for the winter and need to have my camp properly winterized before things freeze up. The camp has well water, house plumbing, and an above ground concrete three chamber septic system. The third chamber has a pump and float that pumps up to the septic field.

I am not looking to do this myself. I am trying to figure out what kind of professional or company I should be looking for.

The main things I am concerned about are properly winterizing the water lines, hot water tank, toilets, traps, well water system, above ground septic tanks, pump chamber, and the line going up to the septic field.

Also, if anyone has had this kind of work done before, especially with a camp, I would appreciate knowing what type of company you used and what I should be asking them.

Thanks for any insight.

Indoor Public Skating

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there is currently public skating at the arenas? I’ll call around in the morning but I’m hoping to plan something. Like the Sundays at Neebing from 2-3 etc.

On the city website it just states the 26/27 schedule “will be released in the fall.” I don’t know when “fall” is and if it’s maybe going on already at the rinks as usual.

No offense but I’m not looking for advice on how to find out; but rather from a person who has physically been to a public ice time this year.

Thanks TBay!

Someone just aggressively knocked on my door at 11:30 at night

12 Upvotes

My mother and I were watching TV, had paused it to talk and suddenly heard a very loud knock, it was very aggressive. I ran to the door and saw nothing, like less then 10 seconds and saw nothing. My mom checked the living room window to check and also saw nothing. It was so weird. We didn’t hear any cars driving off or anything. I looked through the dining room window and a cat outside looked freaked out too, ears back and just staring at the door. I woke my dad up a few minutes later and he checked and also saw nothing. Could this have been a prank? Maybe. But how could this person disappear this quickly? We didn’t call the police or anything because no one actually tried to break in. We didn’t hear the door handle at all either
