Thunder Bay – Ass Backwards
Look Conrad, why don’t you just tell us what you want us to think. What you want us to say. Lets just get this public information circus over. It is obvious that the decision has already been made. What to do with the FW Gardens should have been decided BEFORE the Phase 2 Feasibility Study. […]

Thunder Bay – Ooooooo Service Cuts Oooooo
Finally…someone else has noticed the obvious. The City of Thunder Bay is living way beyond its means. City Hall is a bad financial manager. Really bad. Surprise! You can bet that City Admin will deny everything of course and spit out lots of stats countering the Lakehead University professors’ document titled AN ANALYSIS AND FORECAST OF […]

Thunder Bay – Suckers!
Follow the money. This is not the first Enhanced Infrastructure Renewal Plan. Its the third plan. Tens of millions of dollars….poof! Gone. Disappeared. I believe that our City management have no idea what they are doing. All I know is that their wages keep going up and up and up and I have no […]

Thunder Bay – A Ship By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet?
The ship is the third in CSL history to have the name Thunder Bay and company president Louis Martel said with these new Trillium Class vessels, they decided to use older names. The other two ships named Thunder Bay were named before 1970, the year that Port Arthur and Fort William joined to become the […]

Thunder Bay – City Admin is Simply Too Lazy
We were in Kitchener in front of their city hall and they put out moveable tables and chairs and food trucks and live music, so we basically stole their idea,” Siciliano said.

Thunder Bay – Somewhat Satisfied….not
Primary area for improvement….Primary area for enhancement…. The truth is what is in the box in the bottom right. the bars represent satisfaction levels with each service. The red bars, which I assume represent low satisfaction levels, cover infrastructure that are the basic core building blocks of a city. I just do not understand how […]

Thunder Bay – Historical Imagination Station
I am sure that some of you are familiar with these things You see them around the city giving historical information about an area to people who have the courage to walk on our sidewalks while visiting Thunder Bay. Good things. Then there are these I guess these are stations where people get to […]

Thunder Bay – Pedestrian Overpass Windows
Never been cleaned since who knows when. Tourists love this stuff. I am surprised the City isn’t using this as part of the tourism campaign. An opportunity missed? It goes great with the Waterfront Plaza.

Thunder Bay – Prince Arthur’s Landing
As if the weeds are not enough…..or winter carnival scars or the tile cracking or the whole granite balloon animal mess or the simple maintenance issues or the vandalism or the vehicles driving across Waterfront Plaza….I could go on and on…… There are a lot of bare areas or brown areas where grass does not get a chance to grow. […]

Thunder Bay – Maintenance? We Don’t Need No Stink’n Maintenance
The flower/plant beds on Pier 3, Pier 2 and possibly elsewhere have never been weeded since the place opened. Not That I know anyway. Now, the weeds have a solid foothold and will require a major effort to clean them out. Why did nobody weed the gardens? Is this what a $60 million waterfront tourist […]
