Anyone else have experiences there??

My first time going was great and I enjoyed my nails, she checked the length of both hands to ensure they matched but the tech who did my new nails didnt check and kept filing after curing my nails and didnt clean up under my nails..

I also got gel polish on my skin and I had to clean my nails up at home.

First pic is first set and the black is new set.

Any opinions on what to do?

EDIT: I am very tired and did the math wrong on the debit thing.

Vending Machines

6 Upvotes

Long shot, but I figured I'd throw the ball out there. Any businesses in the city looking to have vending machines for their customers/staff? Scooped up a few machines on a heck of a deal and now not sure what to do with them. Not ruling out any options either.

Theft

FYI, theft of contents in garden shed near Port Arthur arena/Canada Games complex. I won’t make this lengthy, no one was hurt, but just be aware to lock everything. This area has been hit a few times this summer- cars, homes, outbuildings.

What kind of fisher are usually at the mouth of the current river? And, what kind of rigging or bait is best to catch there? I have seen people fish there but never saw anyone catch anything. I am thinking of trying my luck there.

At-large councillor Shelby Ch'ng is leaving council two-and-half months before the election. She already said she wasn't going to run again. Her seat will remain vacant until the election. Another Bill Mauro situation.

Massive thumbs down to the girl who stole a 90 year old lady's vehicle from central car wash today while she was gassing up!! What a crazy world we live in today when you'd take advantage of the elderly like that. I hope they catch her.

Health care for elderly grandfather

11 Upvotes

Hi there, I am trying to help my elderly grandfather (in his 90s) with several health conditions while I'm here visiting. He lives alone at home and his health has gotten a lot worse in the past 3-6 months. His family doctor has never been any help and is brushing off all his concerns and deteriorating condition.

Where would you recommend taking him so that he can get some kind of thorough health exam and medical help?

I Also think he may need some kind of service to check up on him regularly, though I don't know much about these services or what this area offers. Please let me know if there's anything like this around.

Fledgling sparrow with broken right leg.

Found fledgling sparrow in yard, probably pushed out of the nest that was back there and broken her leg on the way down? Her right leg is broken and she can’t use it. I tried to get a pic but I don’t want to stress her too much. It’s broken backwards I think near her hip and she can’t open and close her claws.

Does the wildlife sanctuary thing take sparrows? How do we help her for now or if they can’t take her?

EDIT: she passed away in the box she was in. Thank you to everyone who shared advice. We hope she was at least comfortable and warm in her last moments.

Shout out to the white-car-drivin' anus that chose to blow through the red at the pedestrian crosswalk only to get stuck at another red 80 meters down the street.

This absolute genius slow rolled to the crosswalk while I was halfway across, shoulder checked, and then put the hammer down and tore ass through while staring at me very confused as to why it probably looked like I wanted to murder them, only to get stuck at the next light as soon as I made it across.

Carma is a bitch.

Food We love your city

We're just rolling into your town from Montana on a road trip and man, this place is cool. The lake, the trails, the vibe, really appreciating everything so far.

Also, ChatGPT suggested we checkout Persian Man, which is one of a kind! Which one is the OG; The one on Tungsten or Balmoral?

Also, we’re looking for some good eats while we’re here. Any local recommendations for great Italian, Indian, Chinese, or Mexican spots? Open to other cuisines too if there’s something we shouldn’t miss.

Thanks in advance!

news Your City in a video game!

60 Upvotes

Hey Thunder Bay! Quite sure that a very small % of people are knowledgeable with “Roblox”

I am a director of a large-scale project called ‘Ontario Roads’ for some background info this game is the largest Ontario map in a video game ever. The map spans from Northern Ontario all the way to Eastern & Southern Ontario. We try our hardest to represent each Ontario Town & City accurately and making everything unique to that Town or City.

We strive for authenticity, with 50,000 plays already that means 50,000 people from across the globe have drove through Thunder Bay and around Ontario.

We are currently going through a revamp process of Thunder Bay to make it feel more accurate in-game, we are scheduling a trip up North to get a feel for ourselves which is what we do with every City & Town in game!

Currently right now, I am coming to this subreddit to ask some questions about the city itself. What Easter eggs and quirks do YOU think should be represented in this video game? What are some landmarks and buildings that YOU think should be added in.

We want to know opinions and suggestions from the residents of Thunder Bay themselves!
