Thunder Bay – Trial by Media
This was a mighty act of nature that serves as a warning of worse weather to come as our atmosphere reacts to our activities here on the ground. That’s where our attention needs to be focused, not on looking for fault. Regardless of whether or not these lawsuits have a right to proceed, this report […]
Thunder Bay – The Hole Today
Looks like whatever they were doing is almost done. I guess the next thing is the developer starting work next spring? A bit of erosion. No curb here though. Erosion problems a year or two ago caused this section of curb and gutter to slide towards the hole. It was not replaced. Not sure if […]
Thunder Bay – COIPus Interruptus
With media headlines all pointing to the City Council meeting on Monday where a decision is going to made on the Event Centre, you have to wonder what’s the big deal? I am of the belief that this decision has already been made. In fact, it was made as far back as a year, maybe […]
Thunder Bay – The Hole Today
As I said before, it looks to me that the work that is being done at the waterfront pit is being done by the City of Thunder Bay. Paid for by our hard earned tax dollars. I also believe that the City of Thunder Bay and the developers agreed to not release any details about […]
Thunder Bay – The Hole Today
So why did it go from empty to full in one day? Well, I believe I have a good idea. Below is a photo from Nov. 15 showing the water being pumped into north end of the excavation. The water then drains out the bottom right of the photo. Through the rock fill. On Nov […]
Thunder Bay – Ahh yes, I remember it well
What a difference a day makes. I am not sure if this was supposed to happen. I’m thinking not. Maybe. Who knows? I’m sure if you ask the contractor, they will say it was a planned flooding. Everything’s under control. Nothing to see here. Move along everyone. Once it freezes, it will make a great second skating […]
Thunder Bay – We All Lose
Every time I walk around the Tai Chi circle or saunter through the Moon Gate down at Marina Park, I am very impressed with the quality of workmanship that went in to their creation. The Moon Gate is made of stone and concrete. There are no cracks in it. No chunks have fallen out. Looks […]
Thunder Bay – We Who Are About To Drive Salute You
The City of Thunder Bay, in recognition of the grand re-opening of the new and improved Algoma Street this passed Sunday is now digging a section of it up again. Today, the Environment Department started to excavate the area in front the former Superior Motors building. I believe it has something to do with the sewer line. […]
Thunder Bay – The Glory and The Power
$106 million Event Centre. Who knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a power plant and then millions more to convert it from coal. It seems that our City Hall leadership believe money grows on trees but I suspect the city workers at Prince Arthur’s Landing skating rink know differently. The […]
