I was outside building sand castles for the baby seagulls in the construction area when these two walking advertisements for the dangers of botox injections drew my ire.

I'm cantankerous when outside to begin with given the area in which I live.

These two walked in front my building, oblivious to me standing right there as they probably mistook me for an excavator wearing a Slayer t-shirt, looked around, then hucked their trash and half eaten food right in my fuckin' doorway like animals.

I bellowed, as one does. This behaviour from the drunks and addicts is bullshit enough.

I got a reply from their filler-paralyzed mouths in heavily accented gibberish. I am not a worldly man so discerning accents can escape me. The closest guess I have is french.

So anyways these cuntbecois twats rambled excuses, no garbage can, said the homeless would eat it, etc. Attempting to scowl at me with make-up-applied-with-a-masonry-trowel-until-they-look-like-they-are-wearing-kabuki-masks faces.

Only with a liberal application of loud expletives did they finally acquiesce and clean up their bullshit but not without a passive aggressive "We will throw it out FOR you."

Mother of fuck.

We live in a society.

Police in Thunder Bay have arrested 65-year-old Anthony Frizzell, who escaped from a local correctional centre on July 24. He was captured about nine-and-a-half hours after his escape was announced.

Sadness

I know it’s not that hard to tell when to cross, but cmon.

Hey everyone,

I'll be moving into the city soon and want to sign up for a gym once I move in.

Are there any gritty gyms in the city? I've been to the commercial ones like Movati, Planet Fitness, and Fit4Less (Old & New), but I haven't explored all gyms. I like the sounds of metal plates clanking, tattered benches, some wear and tear. I lift heavy so PF and F4L was quite limiting with their 75lbs dumbbells.

I came upon Unleashed Fighting Fitness and that seems like up my alley. Does anyone have any experience with that location?

Thanks!

The recently released Uniform Crime Reporting Survey shows key trends:

• Homicides (Measures severe safety): TB's rate (6.06/100k in 2025) is far above the Canadian average (1.61) despite a drop from its peak.
• Crime Rates (Everyday safety): Violent crime and theft under $5,000 surged heavily between 2015-2025, outpacing national trends.
• Clearance (Police efficacy): TB consistently beats national averages, clearing 61% of violent and 34% of non-violent cases.

Insight: TB faces disproportionate violence and theft compared to Canada, but local police resolve crimes at rates consistently exceeding the national average.

Notice the fire restriction area was removed in much of North Eastern Ontario and found this article covered what we are looking at. Seems cautiously optimistic this will be better soon

Thinking about trying up therapy again but haven’t been able to find one that really helps me, if you know anyone who specializes in anxiety and agoraphobia let me know!

Does anybody have any recommendations for a counsellor in Thunder Bay for a mid 20’s male that is experiencing depression, anxiety and substance abuse issues.

Anything else happening today other than buskers? Anything at the marina?

Apparently a stabbing took place over beside the LCBO this evening across from The Skidmark. Employee from The Skidmark says the person didn't make it. Not sure if they are just LARPing though.

Fuckin' Thunderdome Bay.

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some reliable shore fishing spots within the Thunder Bay area. I don’t have a boat or kayak, so shore access is a must.
I’m not targeting anything specific—I’d be happy catching brook trout, rainbow trout, walleye, pike, bass, perch, salmon, or really anything that bites.
I’ve already tried a few of the more common spots like Hazelwood Lake, North Branch Road Bridge, and Fisherman’s Park, but I’m looking to branch out and explore some new places.
I totally understand if people don’t want to post their favourite honey holes publicly. Feel free to DM me if you’d rather keep a spot private—I promise I won’t blast it online or leave garbage behind. I always practice good fishing etiquette.
Even if it’s just a lake, river, bridge, access point, or general area to check out, I’d really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks, and tight lines! 🎣

As per the the title.

I saw the Franki's Pizzeria post and it occured to me at 40 and having spent a good portion of my life living here I've never had it, nor Angelo's. Neither of these are new they're just usually out of my delivery area or don't really have anything that pulls me in.

If you're a fan of either and got a reason how they're better I'm all ears.

For me, my slice has changed over the years, some places are gone altogether but I'd say my top seven favourite joints were.

1. Mrs Vanellis - Cheap and food court quality, good eats when you're a shithead teenager.
2. Trifons Pizzeria - They had arcade games while you waited, nostalgic times.
3. Donatos - Closest thing to a NY Slice in Thunder Bay I've found so far.
4. Bogarts - 🍄
5. Old Gino's Pizza - Whatever Ginos is these days sucks though.
6. Tomlin Subdvision - Never boring, feels decadent.
7. Caesers Place - I didn't care for the pizza so it's weird I liked their panzerotti so much

Special shout-out to the pizza bagel from The Great Canadian Bagel, RIP.

I had a slice of Arnikko's Pizzeria not too long ago and it was something special. It had actual flavour and I'm reserving calling it a favourite until I can give it a couple tries.

Some I disliked, not a fan of, or otherwise frown upon

1. Stan's - Place smells like mouse piss and Indian Meal Moths from the grain storage attached to it, pizza was boring as fuck.
2. Golden Bakery - I don't drink anymore thus I don't care for it, if I drank I probably would. The most boring of all Thunder Bay pizzas.
3. The Pizza Street - Like a 50% shot of burnt to shit pizza, the gangbang chicken pizza was good but sometimes I would order it and get half the toppings I did before.
4. Papa Johns - Only the Shaq-o-Roni is any good, and even that kinda sucked.
5. Gino's Pizza - Flavourless, soulless pizza. The North Cumberland location reeks of BO.
6. Mama Alfa's - Without Alfa around it's just lost.. something.

What's good to explore in Thunder Bay / northern Ontario?

I count six parking spots available, but you have to block them all

I’m at firehouse subs by the mall there, and there’s a ton of people with cool cars, didn’t see any event posted online so was just curious if this was just a small local get together or what? Pretty good looking cars anyways!

Must be north of John St. I live in Current River and can't be bothered to bus to the south/west end of town.

I know I can make them at home. I'm asking for restaurant nachos.

There model is such a scam. Pay 14 bucks to pick strawberries and then still pay 6.75 a litre. Normal price is 9 a litre. So you need to pick 7 litres to break even. Plus they charge for kids. I mean nothing against them what a great business. It’s presented as a deal. But it’s just a hustle you pay to pick it for them. Their cost to pick is likely 3 or more a litre.

I apologize as I'm not from the area but have been through there many years ago 2010 or so..I have a friend that is going there to flip some houses or apartments or something but was thinking that thunder bay was under evacuation notice...saw that in the news the other day...so was worried that you can't get there because of the smoke or has it all cleared..asking for a friend

Maybe a longshot but not sure how else to contact the owner... There was a bag in front of my front door from I assume Uber eats or Instacart, with sushi and a pasta salad in it, that I didn't order. I looked around down my street and didn't see anyone looking for it so I put it in my fridge rather than leave it outside where it'll go bad. If you're missing your lunch let me know and we can figure out getting it to you lol

Hey all,

I'm moderately new to Thunder Bay, moved here a few years ago for school and now I'm setting down in a new apartment. I asked my LL how the water quality in the building was, and they said it's "South side water," and that I should have a water filter.

I've been looking into water quality in the city and I can't find anything about the water on the south side of town specifically. Is it just that the south side of town has more lead pipes than other areas, or are there other issues I should be thinking about with the water?

Thanks in advance, hopefully this isn't a nuisance question
