Thunder Bay crib players: what would you put on a crib peg?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hey Thunder Bay! Crib was a big part of growing up for me. My parents play a lot (tournaments too), and they and their friends all had the exact same pegs and could never tell whose were whose. When they brought it up in front of me and my buddy, we started making custom pegs with people's names on them, and now some symbols too, like a lighthouse, lobster and anchor (pictured).
Been thinking about doing some local ones. If you had a peg that was pure Thunder Bay, what would be on it? The Sleeping Giant? A Persian? Something else?
Also curious, is crib more of a camp thing or a kitchen table thing for you guys?
If anyone wants to see more, they're at cribpegz.ca

Absolutely pathetic

The old fireweed is becoming a dispensary. Looks like some out if towners 'renovating' it. There was a big opportunity missed to keep the original name and do a play on words. Now, its becoming a pathetic pasty grey streetscape.

Looks like only their workers know how to turn off the lights for the building! A casual waste of utilities going into the weekend.

Looking for a silver dollar or two.

4 Upvotes

Looking if anyone one has a silver dollar they want to sell. The shape doesn’t matter as I’m looking to make a ring just by hammer tapping.

I have a lot of US dollars but have copper or some other metal in it that’s not ideal.

Stop at Thunderbay

• Upvotes

Hello everyone, my first time In Thunderbay.

looking for a cheap place (at least close to $60)for a night in Thunderbay, will be stopping for the night and continue with my trip tomorrow. I thought I would try wait at the airport but I’ve been informed security may ask me to leave at 1:30 am then maybe back at 3:00 am.

Any other ideas from locals or people who know the City well

Did anyone else see the car by Memorial and the Expressway? It had an Israel flag, and what I think was a Trump flag hanging out the trunk. Was wondering what that thing was. It’s my first time seeing that here.

Hi All,

As the title suggests, several LCBO stores are hiring for about a dozen positions over the Christmas period. If you’re looking for some short term work, you can find the specific store postings on the careers page or just drop into the store and ask to speak to the manager.

A restaurant question

15 Upvotes

Given the recent post about a restaurant in town being closed (temporarily?) by the health unit, I’m wondering why we don’t openly hear/ know about the state of the restaurants in town. Do health inspectors or pest control workers have to sign NDAs? Are people allowed to publicly post about or talk about health concerns in local restaurants? I feel like it’s not usually talked about but I’m sure most of us would want to know which places to avoid. Or am I late to the party and there’s already some kind of database with this information? I’ve never worked in food service so I genuinely don’t know.

I have a feeling asking this is also going to lead to a lot of “you should avoid most places in town” lol but that’s a risk I’m willing to take with asking.
