Thunder Bay – Significant Risk
Nobody ever talks about this section of every feasibility study. There was one for the event centre study as well. the disclaimer. The section for covering the consultant firm’s legal and financial ass. BrookMcIlroy does not warrant that actual results achieved during the projection period will be the same, in whole or in part, as […]
Thunder Bay – Today At Prince Arthur’s Landing
Prince Arthur’s Landing after rain. I thought by now, that white crap would have worn off but apparently not. The Balloon Animals Baggage Building. Wind blows water off of roof. Its a strange design.
Thunder Bay – Phase 2 Lite
The City of Thunder Bay has never met a facility that will not be be a great fit for Prince Arthur’s Landing. Cost be damned. Whatever they build there will require millions of additional dollars to clean up a very contaminated parcel of land. Maybe the City of Thunder Bay can win another Brownie Award! […]
Thunder Bay – Honouring The Dead
Hey…I was going to leave well enough alone. You know, not speak ill of the dead. That kind of thing. So remember, while you are hating my guts, they started it.

Everyone’s salaries get bumped up. If you give the managers that you manage a raise, then you will get […]
Thunder Bay – Send In The Clowns
Here you can see a real world demonstration of how the local media rescues the City Administration from being mauled by by an angry electorate. The pissed off bull represents the people. The rider, City Admin and the rodeo clowns represent the media. When the rider is in danger from the people who have […]
Thunder Bay – Prince Arthur’s Landing Tiles
Some recent photos of the tiles installed at Prince Arthur’s Landing. I have more but these show some of the damage that has occurred over just TWO winters. Lord only knows what this place is going to look like in 5, 10 or 20 years. I believe the choice of material here was not well thought out. […]
Thunder Bay – Prince Arthur’s Landing Curb, Gutter and Aspahalt
