Thunder Bay – Monday

Why spit it out? Got some colour here. Maybe today will be the day that the contractor starts pounding steel on the site of the “mistake on the lake”. Yesterday, I mentioned the fact that the park maintenance workers park their vehicles right at the entrance to the Alexander Henry museum ship. As you can … Read more

Thunder Bay – Sunday

The paved bike lane on last years  Court Street reconstruction.  Not sure what these horizontal lines are. If its remnants of the compaction operation, then I think that would mean that the asphalt was not fully compacted. Looks like there was a “huffing” party around here.  Almost a litre is a lot. Still nothing happening … Read more

Thunder Bay – Saturday

This cart has seen better days.  On the positive side, all the trash that was inside of the cart is gone. Catchbasins are interesting.  A blocks worth of gutter trash all found in one spot. How old am I?  I am old enough to remember using cloth diapers.  I can remember washing them.  Disposables were … Read more

Thunder Bay – Friday – Back To The Grind

Squirrel! My understanding of the Finlandia site is as follows. Developer owed contractor $200,000. Contractor sued developer.

Thunder Bay – Tuesday

Looks like fall… I understand now. This is virtual pile driving.   Its happening in virtual reality.  Meanwhile here, in the real world, nothing is going on.  In the Metaverse, the “mistake on the lake” is almost finished.

One day, I will be able to take a close-up photo of that art piece  Whether its this year, next year or next decade, I will.  I have no idea when this area will be open to the public.  Hope it happens before I need someone to wheel me up there. MV Iyrada is still … Read more

Thunder Bay – Sunday

Maybe the City of Thunder Bay should have gone this route when designing heavy traffic areas in Marina Park.  The plastic product used turned out to be crap. Crap taxpayers we paid to install and remove. I still do not understand what these TbayTel are.  Every one that I see looks like this.  Somehow this … Read more
