Thunder Bay – 500th Blog Entry
Five Hundred blog entries is about 499 more than I figured I would ever write. Hopefully, the next 500 will be as much fun as the first were. Things are looking good. Aldo is still on council. KD is still alive and talking. 1778691 Ontario Inc. keeps on making announcements. The City of Thunder […]
Thunder Bay – More Vandalism.
Vandals have been busy. I have shown this same type of light under the pedestrian overpass. Same problem. It appears to me that the top of the light simple pops off. No screws holding it in place. That seems to me to be a poor choice for a light in a park in Thunder […]

Thunder Bay – Celebration Circle Jerk
So lets see what this award winning piece of waterfront looks like. As far as Aboriginal Culture connection, that demographic seems to avoid the place like the plague. Never use it. Not ever. Personally, I think it looks pretty much like it did before all this construction. A few rocks were scattered around the place. […]

I am sure it seemed like a great idea at the time but as of today, […]
Thunder Bay – We Who Are About To Sail Salute You

It also appears that the City of Thunder Bay is OK with this practice so, if people’s safety isn’t important to Mr. Alexander and Mr. Fayrick, then […]

Thunder Bay – Goebbels would be proud
What do Paul Pepe, Stephan Colbert and Joseph Goebbels have in common? Well …. Waterfront Becomes Tourist Destination?
