Original title:Burger King
Post summary:How is it not just one... not two but three Burger Kings still operating in Thunder Bay?! The food has always been disgusting, the service is terrible... How do three Burger Kings survive in this city? Maybe I'm just crazy, but they're bottom-tier fast food.

Featured comments:
- Can the hawks also deal with all the shoplifters? Dive-bomb from the Home Depot roof and snatch back the DeWalt drills? (11)
EN: Can the hawks deal with all of the thief’s too? Swoop down from the roof of the Home Depot and take the DeWalt drill back? - This idea isn't new, as I've been doing this in Thunder Bay for over 15 years. I've used Harris hawks, falcons, and a male bald eagle that usually accompanies me to the sites I manage around the city. While the idea is sound, it involves much more and requires more to accompany the flying birds. To reduce the seagull population, egg and nest removal and other deterrent methods must be employed. From experience, I can safely say that using raptors is not (9)

Post summary:Hi everyone! My partner and I are heading to the Thunder Bay area this summer (July or August) and are looking for some fun activities or places to visit that might be less well-known but worth the trip.

Featured comments:
- I'm done. I have no sympathy. I don't want to see 'villages' in these places. I want law enforcement to enforce the law and arrest those currently in the camps and confiscate their tents. More police, more jails. Yes, I'll get attacked here, but enough is enough. (4)

More cop - I mean, they're not wrong about their current view of the river at Free Park, Simpson is the best spot for out of sight, out of mind... but it would be tragic for the area, every side of town better not consolidate the problem into one area, redevelopment might force people out of the marina area, anyway, most likely up the small river, there's no real solution, council just needs to make a decision at this point and be confident about it... they've been watching for a long time (2)

- Haha, asking us for fishing spots? (7)

This time of year, all you need is spawn or yarn flies. (3)
