1. Does anyone have information about this trail? （ 58 ｜ 36 ｜ 11）
Original title in English:Anyone have info on this path?
Post content summary:This trail appears on most apps, stretching between Farrand and Auchwood, with a nice little bridge over a creek. But the section leading to Auchwood is almost in someone's yard. I went through it all and got a big stare from the homeowner. Is this a legal trail?
English excerpt (verified):
This path shows up on most apps and runs here between Farrand and Autumnwood, there’s a nice little bridge that crosses the creek. But the section that goes up to Autumnwood is pretty much in someone’s yard. I went through it and got a huge stare down from the homeowner. Is this a legit path?

- According to the Thunder Bay Open Data Portal property map, it's not part of any neighboring lawn. I'd say you're free to walk there. (23)
EN: According to the Thunder Bay Open Data Portal property map, it’s not part of either of the neighbouring lawns. I’d say you’re free to walk there. - I checked on Street View, and there seems to be enough distance between the two houses and the trail that I'd confidently walk there. It just looks like it's not used often or at all. (15)
EN: I looked it up on streetview and there looks like enough separation between the two houses and the trail that I'd be confident walking through there. Just doesn't look used often/at all. - Yeah, you go to the end of that dead end, and the trail is on the left. It does look like you're going through someone's yard until you see the trail. Then you go down, there's a bridge, and then it's like a lane to Farrand. There are fiddleheads there in the spring. If you follow the east side of the river, you'll get to the river church next to the old clock shop. But that section goes right through people's yards, with lawns mowed right to the river. It's not surprising people in that area give you dirty looks. (14)
EN: Yeah you go to the end of that cul de sac and the path is on the left. It does look like you are just walking through someone's yard until you can see the path. Then you go down and there's a bridge, then its like an all - Yes, it's public access. There's a footbridge at the bottom (about halfway along the trail). Let them look. (7)

3. Weird beeping noise near Arthur Street? （ 31 ｜ 11 ｜ 10）
Original title in English:Weird beeping noise near Arthur st. E?
Post content summary:If anyone else in the area can't sleep, does anyone know what this noise is? It keeps beeping (not a car horn, sounds distant and echoey, if that makes sense?), then stops for about 5 minutes, then starts again. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is or where it's coming from. Kind of eerie. P.S. Not schizophrenia, the other person I live with hears it too :'( Edit: I guess a better way to describe it would be some kind of booming sound? Rather than a beep (oops, LO

On the off chance anyone else in the area can’t sleep, does anyone know what this noise is? it’s continually beeping (not a car horn, almost sounds like distant and echoey if that makes sense?) and then stops for about 5 min, and starts again. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is or where it’s coming from.

- Isn't there a crossing light that beeps? (8)
EN: Don't the lights beep at some intersections? - Have you checked the batteries in your smoke detectors? (6)
EN: Have you checked the batteries in your smoke detector? - We have the same thing happening on Cumberland Street South near Pearl Street. Here, I think it's a building fire alarm panel that keeps beeping for a zone power failure or some other error. Usually, the panel is inside the building near the entrance/exit and is loud, so it's easy to hear. But that's just a 'beep', not a 'boom'. (2)

4. College funding （ 30 ｜ 8 ｜ 11）
Original title in English:College funding
Post content summary:I'm not looking for judgment on my life choices or financial situation! Does anyone know of any options for college funding? I'm not straight out of high school, so I don't qualify for OSAP. I've been trying to save for two years to pay out of pocket, but in this economy without a college education, it's nearly impossible. My credit is bad, but I'm hoping to get a diploma and a good job and fix that. Any ideas? I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd ask. I'm looking into education networks

Original title in English:Old Businesses / New Development
Post content summary:Just curious if anyone has any updates on some locations I've been wondering about over the past few years. The Labor Temple, last update was 2023, and as far as I understand, they found the subcontractor liable, so just curious if anyone has heard any updates? Also, I asked this years ago, Thunder Bay Restaurant? I know it's a family business, and I think it's more or less a matter of whenever someone has time to do it. Always heard the food is good, so

- I love the sign at South Bridge that says 'Your tax dollars at work' while the lot has been undeveloped for years. (9)
EN: I love that the Southbridge sign says ‘your tax dollars at work’ while the lot stays undeveloped for years. - Brad McKinnon, owner of the Finlandia property, said he would restart the redevelopment project when 'market conditions allow.' In other words, he's out of money. He also owns the Great West Timber property and is trying to sell 10 lots at $250,000 each. But given the potential soil remediation, I don't think anything will happen anytime soon. (2)
