1. Tim's drive-through （ 287 ｜ 153 ｜ 67）
Original title:Tims Drive thru
Post summary:Thanks to the person who ordered 5 pizzas, 5 sandwiches, and 10 drinks at the drive-through. We're all just living in your world, apparently our single cup of coffee isn't as important as your wedding requirements in the front seat of your SUV. If your order needs a forklift and a 15-minute wait, the lobby is actually open! You don't have to hold the whole line hostage because you're too comfortable to park. Common sense is free, but apparently it's not on today's menu. I'm not sorry if I hurt someone's feelings.

2. Thawing, slush, and thawed dog poop. （ 112 ｜ 60 ｜ 26）
Original title:The thaw, the slush, and dethawing dog poop.
Post summary:The snowbanks are finally melting, sidewalks are muddy, puddles are huge. But man, dog owners, your irresponsible laziness from mid-winter is disgusting. If you actually made the effort to put the bag in, but just threw it into a snowbank near the sidewalk, that's great? Today the temperature just rose to six degrees, and the whole neighborhood smells, an assault on the senses. Harsh comment from earlier: if you don't have the responsibility to follow your dog and pick up
English excerpt (verified):
The snowbanks are finally melting, slushy sidewalks, massive puddles. But Jeezes effing Christ dog owners, your mid winter irresponsible laziness is literally stinking. That's great if you actually took effort to put in a bag, but to just throw it into a snow bank adjacent to a sidewalk? It barely warmed up to 6 degree

- This is the whole city. Sorry. In terms of road quality/condition, the whole city is a huge disaster. It wasn't like this thirty years ago. I tell you, it wasn't nearly this bad. The whole city basically needs to be redone. Most of it is redo, some places might be fixable, but most major roads are complete rebuilds. (28)

WHOLE CITY basically need - Honestly, I think it's ridiculous that in this city, people don't even slow down, they're up your ass. I slowed down under the bridge on James Street, going to the reserve, you know those big craters, I slow down, try to navigate, and some people honk at me for it. You want to go full speed, smash your shocks into the ground, be my guest, but don't get mad if you expect me to wreck my suspension so you can beat me to the red light. If that's you, you need to rethink (11)

They're all terrible. Pothole patching doesn't work because of the amount of water in the ground and holes. Patching potholes isn't the answer. Most of these roads need to be redone. Another issue is that asphalt is not and will not solve the temperature and frost problems we have. It's a cheap material. We need the city to find some other material that works for Thunder Bay. Unfortunately, until then, things are only going to get worse. It's really gotten to the point where (6)

As an idea, "pothole severity warnings" could be a handy, user-reported feature on Google Maps, with audio warnings and routes coded with green, yellow, orange, and red indicators. (Our whole city could be orange and red. /s) (5)

4. Considering moving to Thunder Bay （ 75 ｜ 19 ｜ 28）
Original title:Thinking about moving to Thunder Bay
Post summary:My wife and I are considering moving and have set our sights on Thunder Bay. I'm curious about the community in the area. I'm from an extremely conservative area in Alberta, and honestly I'd love to escape that crap. From what I understand, Thunder Bay is more progressive (not hard compared to Alberta), but what is the community like? Are there areas to stay away from? Especially for a family with young kids. What should I know about TB?

- Thunder Bay certainly has some outspoken conservative people, but for the most part, people here don't make their political leanings or religious beliefs a major part of their identity. People here respect (and expect) hard work, generosity, and cooperation. Like any city, we have good parts and bad parts, but as long as you're not involved in criminal activity, you'll be safe wherever you go. (14)

For the most part, if you don't happen to live online, or show a strong hardline stance on one political leaning over another, people tend to be fine. Suburban parts? I don't really know what to call them, they feel very different from the rest of the city, I had to work on some of those properties all summer, it's hard to believe it's the same city. I'd say, you treat a person fairly, 80% (3)

11. Country Market - Icy Parking Lot （ 16 ｜ 10 ｜ 3）
Original title:Country market - icy parking lot
Post summary:I went on Saturday morning and the parking lot was super icy. Is the parking lot at the CLE grounds the city's responsibility? Just as we were going in, a person coming out of the building slipped on the ice and fell flat on their back. I tried to be very careful, but I also fell, landing on my side, about 20 feet from my car. I haven't been there since last summer, and I was surprised that nothing had been sanded on Saturday morning.
