- The fact that the company charges app users an extra booking fee so they don't have to pay employees to sell tickets at the booth should be a crime. (67)
EN: The fact that the company charges app users an extra fee to book a ticket, so that the company doesn’t have to pay employees to sell you tickets at ticket booths should be a fucking crime. - I wish finding out what's playing and when wasn't such a hassle. (24)
EN: I wish it wasn't an ordeal to find out what"s playing and when. - Went there on opening day and it's sad to see what it's become. Walking into the theatre area, it always smells like shit when you have to pass the washrooms. (23)
EN: Having been there on day one of opening it’s honestly sad to see what it is now. Walking into the theatre section always smells like shit when you have to pass the bathrooms. - I go to the theatre at least twice a month, and it really needs work. Last year while watching The Naked Gun, an armrest fell off once. Them cancelling late shows isn't a good sign either. Miss the Wetzel and hope to get some Renault soon. These seats must be the same ones from when I worked there 20 years ago. Edit: It was The Naked Gun, not Top Gun (17)

- I live out west now, but in a city about the same size as Thunder Bay. Our Costco is a short walk from Walmart and grocery stores, and I can confidently say those stores are always busy. I think in the early stages after Costco opens, there will be a shift. But once the initial excitement fades, it'll be business as usual. Regular grocery stores, department stores, pharmacies, etc. serve different purposes. There's always a reason to shop at each one. Some things are a good deal, but not everything. (24)
EN: I live out west now, but in a city fairly similarly sized to Thunder Bay. Our Costco is walking distance from both Walmart and Superstore and I'll confidently say, those stores are always busy. I think in the early stage - Definitely, places like wholesale clubs will see a lot fewer people. (6)
EN: Deffenetly, alot less people will be going to places like Wholesale Club - Apparently there's also a new mall being built on the other side... I'm sure it'll kill the intercity area, but it's also a good thing... Malls have been killing businesses for a long time, and as for Costco, hopefully it'll make other businesses lower their costs. It'll only affect big stores like Walmart, grocery stores, wholesale clubs, etc. (6)

The mall has been ruining businesses for far to long, as for Costco hopefully it makes other bus - I grew up in a family business. We saw the impact of Walmart and grocery stores. We survived, others didn't. We had to make some big adjustments. For consumers, calling yourself a local business isn't enough. Meanwhile, we're competing with lower prices south of the border. We need to differentiate. But decades later, I do feel that local businesses have stepped up, and it's the big stores that are at risk. Grocery stores and Walmart have come out with great selection and cheap prices. (5)

4. Police piloting increased patrols in the downtown core （ 63 ｜ 31 ｜ 16）

Featured comments:
- Ugh. For years, this was called the BEAT. Officers were assigned to zones to walk and stay in the area. They got rid of it in 2018 or 2019 because it was 'wasteful' and 'unproductive'. Repackaged as a new initiative and sold to the public. A great photo op for two people who never leave the station (staff and inspectors don't go out on the road unless it's for a photo). (29)

Original title in English:Does anybody recognize this monument?
Post content summary:My great-grandfather died in Fort William in 1942, and I recently found this photo of him and was wondering if this place still exists. I see 1940 at the base of the monument, so it was taken between 1940 and 1942. Thanks!

7. Drunk at the bus stop (Arthur & Parkdale) （ 39 ｜ 7 ｜ 16）
Original title in English:Passed out drunk at bus stop (Arthur & Parkdale)
Post content summary:Hi everyone, I drove by Arthur and Parkdale twice today and saw a pretty bad situation. Around mid-morning, I was stopped at the light at Parkdale and Sifton (next to Starbucks). There were two men and a woman at the northbound stop with a bottle of liquor, clearly already drunk. I drove by again at noon, and one of them was now completely passed out in the shelter. Is this something people usually call the non-emergency line/police about? Do they do anything?

- Once, I called an ambulance for a person passed out in an empty house near me, and they asked if I could check if he was breathing and try to wake him up/ask if he was okay. I said no, they asked why not, and I said I didn't feel safe. The operator asked me what made me think it was safe for the paramedics to do it. They eventually did come with police, but what a ridiculous question to ask in order to keep an eye on someone. (23)
