Post summary:I know they're everywhere. But what I find really interesting is that they just patched Junot north of the park, and they're already back. They've patched each side twice. Someone actually gets paid to fill them all in within a week, then come back the next week and fill them all again.

I know they’re everywhere. But what I find really funny is they just patched Junot north by the park and they’re already back. They all have been patched 2 times each side. Someone is literally getting paid to fill the wholes one week, to come back the next week and fill them all up again.

5. Emergency vet services? （ 47 ｜ 17 ｜ 15）
Original title:Emergency Vet Services?
Post summary:I'm fairly new to Thunder Bay, moved here about a year ago with my three-year-old dog. After tirelessly searching for an available vet (which is actually a problem for everyone with pets in TBay), the nearest vets are either in Dryden or Fort Frances/Atikokan. With all the travel/gas issues, having to take time off work for routine checkups, etc., I worry about a legitimate emergency one day. Is there a vet in town that can assist with emergencies, even if they're not taking new patients?

Original title:PEOPLE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE
Post summary:People obviously don't know how to drive. My friend parked her car in the area and some individuals will hit the vehicle. I mean, even buying a car in Thunder Bay feels bad. It feels like we need to get PPF done if we want our vehicles to stay clean.

- People is plural, so you use 'do not' instead of singular 'does not'. Usually I really hate pedants who point these things out, but this is something you can easily fix. Jane doesn't know how to drive - singular person does not (doesn't). Those three guys don't know how to drive - plural don't. Only use 'doesn't' when presenting a singular noun. (5)

Featured comments:
- Based on my experience, besides Black Friday and Boxing Day deals, the best time is back-to-school sales. If you're also specifically looking for an iPhone and don't want the latest model, then around the time carriers are trying to sell last year's iPhones. Check Best Buy directly instead of tbaytel, because they can also have their own deals, like gift cards, which can be purchased on top of tbaytel's prices. (4)

If you’re looking for an iPhone specifically too and don’t want the latest model, it’s around the same t - Probably after Black Friday! Usually they mark up and sell at the same price, saying it's a discount lmao. After Black Friday or after a new phone launches might be the best time to buy a phone! (3)

Ideally, I want something relatively modern. I don't mind a one-bedroom, but finding a place within my budget seems difficult, especially in terms of modern.
