r/ThunderBay

And I missing something or does it seem that we have a single family home crisis for properties under about $500k ?

This is so scary I feel so awful for their families. I really hope they will get some information soon.. I had no idea you could just go into the elevators they should really have more security or just tear the thing down?! Big thunder and LPH have security?

Been lurking here for a bit but decided to ask for some advice. My husband is a psych nurse and looking at positions in Thunder Bay. I work in communications but also have the ability to work remote. We have dogs and cats, and have been considering a relocation to Canada from the US for some time now. I may have a path to Canadian citizenship with the new changes in immigration rules, but the easier path does seem to be through my husbands job. We don't mind being a bit remote. What advice/tips/warnings might you have for two queer men in their early 40s? What about restaurants/food scene? Veterinary care for our pets? Any and all insight is appreciated!

The R/thunderbay is probably the least toxic public social media forum that we have, so thank you to everyone on this thread for being good people.

I am starting to have far right stuff pushed onto my meta about not filling out the census as a pushback to Carney. Can we all kind of softly agree to bring it up on our daily lives to people to encourage people to fill it out? thunder bay doesn’t get enough funding, and are forgotten by queens park and ottawa and can’t afford a decade more of improper funding because we avoid wanting to engage with the wackos who think it’s part of a global conspiracy

I’m trying to buy a house in Thunder Bay right now and the math just isn’t mathing.

I’ve been looking at single-detached homes in the $300k–$600k range, and it is absolute chaos. On any given house, there are 10–18 offers. My realtor’s current rule of thumb is to bid $10k over asking for every offer on the table. That is insane.

Inventory seems stuck at 100–120 houses month-to-month. While I hear a lot about "densification," there seems to be zero plan or direction from the city to address the actual shortage of single-family homes.

A few questions for the sub:

• Market Outlook: Do you think this "parabolic" trend is the new normal, or is a correction coming?
• The City: Do you think the city will actually address the detached-home shortage, or are they just going to keep pushing multi-unit infills?
• The Experience: Is anyone else seeing 15+ offers on everything, or am I just having bad luck?

Would love to hear everyone’s outlook for the next year or two.

Does anyone remember this restaurant? Not talking about the coffee chain but was an actual restaurant on Arthur St - very close to Galaxy if I remember right.

Anyone know what ever happened to it? That was a damn good restaurant.

Sorry, haven't lived in TBay since 96.

Am I the only person who thinks it’s absolutely wild how many roads in the city don’t have lines?

Like I can understand some single lane residential roads or whatever, but to have a major road like Arthur street not have ANY markings or lane signs above the lights seems crazy - it’s a double lane road with a suicide lane… like imagine not being from Thunder Bay and rolling into the absolute chaos of that?

I know people will say excuses like oh cheap paint or will be repainting after winter give them time or whatever, but it wasn’t until at least June or July last year that they did line painting on Arthur St. And I recognize that obviously there’s much worse problems with the roads in Thunder Bay than just the lines.. but I just can’t be the only one who thinks that lines on 5 lane major roadways are a little bit important?

What are the new better/cleaner hotels in tbay these days? They're definitely not the same ones I used to stay at as a kid lol.

Ok, so, hear me out….

Who has had this soup and how good is it??

I’ve always wanted to try it but it honestly looks like blood clot soup and can’t bring myself to eat it..
