- Interestingly, the owner said they've already received multiple offers to buy the brewery since the closure was announced. I don't think it will actually close now. I think it will just change hands. Hopefully, if that happens, it will continue to be great (23)

- If you've lived in low-income areas of a city before, I'm sure you'll be fine. If the higher density of homeless people and drug users scares you, then avoid it. I've had very pleasant interactions with everyone I've met, but I grew up in a similar area. My biggest concern would be your car, but in my experience, most people just try the handles to see if it's unlocked rather than trying to break in. (15)

The bigger problem you might have when looking for cheaper places is finding a truly decent apartment. Most of the rentals in these areas have been bought up by slumlords who don't care about anything but packing as many people in as cheaply as possible.

4. Has anyone had a pedophile experience at Dog Lake public campground? （ 42 ｜ 0 ｜ 21）

EN: never once in my life heard this was considered a swingers campground lmao - If it's uncomfortable, leave as soon as possible. Always trust your gut. Also, depending on the situation, you can say 'I'm uncomfortable with this' all the way to 'get the f*** out'. Also, report it. For example, even if you're not sure if you or others were 'abused', an old man putting his hand on your thigh and making awkward comments. Report it. The police have resources to help you, and reporting a predator is always better than being unsure and letting them get away to find the next victim. Stay safe! (11)

6. Thunderbay trout and salmon numbers? （ 23 ｜ 7 ｜ 8）
Original English title:Thunderbay Trout and Salmon Population?
Post content summary:Moved to Northwestern Ontario for school and started fishing for trout in the Thunder Bay area. I've caught some medium lake trout and some 3-5 inch rainbow trout on a fly rod. Has anyone in the area noticed a decline in trout and other salmon numbers? Locals I've talked to tell me there are good fish in the rivers around, but there seem to be fewer areas where these fish successfully spawn. Maybe I'm just not good at catching them, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this.

Featured comments:
- Salmon numbers have dropped significantly over the years. Unless they're spawning, you'll need a boat. Chinook and coho numbers aren't what they used to be, with the Nipigon River having the most. Rainbows are definitely in better shape, and in a few weeks, all the rivers will be loaded for spawning. (2)

The Chinook and coho numbers aren't nearly what they used to be with Nipigon river holding the best run. The rainbows ar - The rivers in town have beautiful rainbow runs in the spring. The further east you go, the fewer you'll find. Over fifteen years ago, Black Bay tributaries were a world-class rainbow fishery. Now you're lucky to catch a few each season. Salmon numbers, while down, are still decent. In early September, there are lots of pink salmon in the lower rivers. For Chinooks, I'd head east starting late August/early September, depending on water levels. (2)
