2. I want to build a fence in my backyard myself. How do I know where the gas and water lines are? A company quoted me $15,000, and if my partner and I help, is there anyone in town who would be cheaper? （ 53 ｜ 9 ｜ 22）

3. Amethyst mine. Anything else to do? （ 46 ｜ 0 ｜ 23）
Original title:Amethyst mine. What else is there to do?
Post summary:I want to visit the mine and pick some amethyst. However, there doesn't seem to be much else to do in Thunder Bay and the surrounding area. I plan to check out the Finnish sauna, but what else? Was hoping for hot springs, but Ontario doesn't have any. I've always been told Thunder Bay is a racist dump, is that true? I used to hear there's a lot of racism against Indigenous people. Although I'm not Indigenous, I'm a visible minority.

- Sleeping Giant Park, the waterfront, Alexander Henry Ship Museum, Fort William Historical Park, North Ontario Hockey Hall of Fame, Terry Fox Monument, amazing hiking and fishing. Also can go to Silver Island near Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Thunder Bay may have racism, but overall, most of you aren't obviously intoxicated or causing trouble. I think only a very small number of loud jerks have racist tendencies. Mainly against Indigenous people. As long as you're not into drugs (27)

- Seems like no one fits law enforcement, but if anyone goes to jail, I'd be very, very surprised. (15)
EN: Seems none of the players in this are suitable for law enforcement but I would be very, very surprised if anyone went to jail. - Reading this article, it sounds like infighting and gossip among a bunch of elementary school kids; not a city police force. (15)
EN: Reading this article it sounds like in-fighting & gossip amongst a bunch of elementary school students; not a city police service. - Every time I read about these characters and all the investigations they're involved in, I have a hard time fully understanding what crimes they committed, or even what they're investigating and why? For example, why are they investigating Morriseau? Members of the TBPS board/commission? I can never really figure it out. Maybe the legal jargon makes it seem more complicated than it is. (10)
EN: Every time I read an article about these characters and all the investigations they were involved in, I have a hard time fully understanding the crimes committed, or even what exactly they were investigating and why? Why - What a mess. TBPS under Ole Sylvia could do nothing but make things worse, handing the 'investigation' to the OPP, who found Georjann Morriseau did nothing wrong. You'd think Homesense would have cameras, could use facial recognition... or something to identify this anonymous masked man. This whole disaster sounds so middle school, so embarrassing. (5)

Post summary:Hello Thunder Bay! I'd like to ask for some recommendations for hotels, B&Bs, or other options that can accommodate 2 adults and 4 children. It must be a single room because all our kids are young - we're passing through Thunder Bay to Winnipeg and then back east in the summer, we used to stay with a friend who has since moved elsewhere. I'm hoping for something like we found in Timmins, when we went there, the recommendation was: Balsam Boutique is nice, has two beds, and then

- I think you'll have a hard time finding a decent hotel that meets your needs for under $200. Home 2 is more for extended stays, but because of that, they usually have rooms with multiple beds/sofabeds. The new Hyatt might be the same, but definitely over $200 a night. (2)
