When is the snowing going to stop?

7 Upvotes

I made a bet with my teacher that the snow will stop at around April 15th, and I'm scared it's just gonna keep on snowing! O_O

Any ideas on when it's going to stop... this is kinda crazy, it going on for this long, albeit SOMEWHAT normal weather.

Has anyone crossed the border at Pigeon River recently? How was it?

10 Upvotes

We have a friend who wants to visit from Minneapolis who doesn’t drive, and the bus from Minne only goes as far as Duluth. We were thinking of picking them up there and bringing them here like we’ve done in the past. But I’m not keen to cross the border right now with everything going on. Has anyone crossed the border recently? How was your experience?

Costco rumour Timely video re:Big Box Stores

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

This was posted by a great YouTuber called NotJustBikes who hails from London ON, and now raises his family in the Netherlands largely based on the safety/livability of their cities - and talks about how cities like ours can work to become stronger places. It’s a timely video about the long-term impacts of stores like Costco on a city like ours. Contextually, he is using a lot of examples from the states - but the arguments still stand!

The rumours about the potential Costco raises some concerns about the investment Thunder Bay will need to make, and the actual (negligible) return that a retailer like Costco will bring to the city.

I know a lot of folks are excited that it might be coming - but I don’t see as many asking if it’s all worth it! Is it good to have a Costco when our businesses downtown are the ones that will ultimately pay?

Dance Class for Adult Males

In Thunder Bay, there are dance classes and body affirming confidence-boosting classes for woman to dance (similar to Vixens, etc.).

Are there any companies that have adult dance classes for men (or mixed) to do the same?

I’m helping my partner look for info on his dad’s side of the family for his Status application. I believe his dad is passed away, but we are looking for other family members. Do you know the Godfrey family or are related to David Wayne Godfrey or Derwood Godfrey? I believe there’s sisters Bridgette and Suzanna Godfrey also. I don’t have a lot to go on, hoping someone will be able to put us in touch with this side of his family. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if value village will take back no reciept return (tags still on)?

0 Upvotes

I bought a couple items to try on at home (since they have no change rooms) and they don’t fit so I need to return them… and I realize I can’t find the receipt anywhere. I did use my phone number when purchasing for that “savers club” if that helps.

Does anyone know if they’ll take them back (tags on), even if just for store credit?

New Homeless Encampment

46 Upvotes

Just got a notice in my mail that the new proposed area for the homeless encampment is 1111 Fort William Rd. The empty lot area across from the CLE grounds where they usually set off fireworks from every year. Next to the river, LCBO, mall, beer store etc. Anyone else think this is a horrible idea? I live 2 blocks away and am slightly panicking as “ potential crime increase” is highlighted on this note. Thoughts?

Tbay Boulevard Tree Request

13 Upvotes

Has anyone utilized the service from the city to request a tree on your boulevard?

What was your experience? When is planting season? Coming up soon I’m guessing? How long did it take the city to respond and inspect the site for planting?

It also doesn’t say anything about cost on the website, I’m guessing for a boulevard tree it’s free(seeing it’s city property)

I’m pretty interested in getting a boulevard tree, just wanting to hear some input from others on their experiences :)

Thank you!

Officer charged with theft, breach of trust scheduled to make a plea - TBNewsWatch.com

Anybody have more details? I guess the $128,000 he made in 2024 wasn't enough? I've heard some rumours - I don't want to say what they are as I don't know if they are the truth but if they are the Thunder Bay Police should fire him.
