Original English title:Rarely got a reason to wander into Keskus, man the nostalgia hit hard.
Post summary:The OG location, not including the basement. My mouth literally started watering when my memory carried that faint Sterisol smell. We were always told to dilute it, but nobody I knew ever did. Good times walking around spitting out the inside of your mouth haha. Robin's Donuts was the spot, this is the place you went, this is where it all started. Many challenges to be scrapped were given out on IRC. The SoBe fridge was full of 2000s nostalgia, missing those glass-bottle lizard juice drinks,

4. On-site appraisal?
Original English title:On Site Auto Appraisal?
Post summary:I'm looking for a licensed appraisal location or someone who can do an on-site appraisal of my car, because the car isn't registered and can't be registered before the appraisal (it's over 20 years old), and it has no plates so I can't drive it. I can't afford a tow because all the tow places here have a minimum of over $250. So does anyone know a person or place authorized to do appraisals who can appraise the car on-site where it's sitting?

5. Door-to-door in College Heights?
Original English title:Door to door in academy heights?
Post summary:Just after 8 pm, an older man came to my door asking for donations for a Halloween dance his friend was organizing. He was a bit hard to understand, but he mentioned he lives just around the corner. I told him I didn't have cash on me, and he just asked that if his friend came by, I let him know he'd already stopped at my house. I have cameras on the side and front of the house, but he didn't trigger them, which makes me believe he came from the backyard (alternative

Original English title:New driver G2 test
Post summary:I'll be taking my G2 driving test in a few weeks (I haven't even had a driver's licence for years), and I'm wondering if anyone knows the route for this test so I can practise it on top of everything else I haven't done yet. I do drive with my wife since she's a licensed driver, so I know the basics, but there's still a lot to learn. Any tips would help. I'd love to pass on the first try if I can. Thanks.

Original English title:Thunder Bay Mayoral Forum last night @LUSU Outpost
Post summary:What a turnout at the mayoral forum last night! The community and students showed up in force, along with several council candidates and some people running for school board. Here are my takeaways. Peter Diedrich made some remarks that drew applause from some people. The other candidates didn't get that reaction, so that was the biggest thing for me. We have Gertuiga and Comuzzi running on the existing city plan, they have no plan of their own. They clashed

Original English title:Swiss Chalet Fort William Thunder Bay
Post summary:We ordered tonight at 7:00, waited an hour and 10 minutes, then tried calling them but no one answered, then called Toronto customer service, they refunded, then put it through again for free. Mind you, they were kind of annoyed, and then the excuse they gave my mom was that we were busy catching flights, so you don't just come when you're busy, how do they decide who gets food and who doesn't? So fucking true! The manager there is a completely clueless foreigner

18. Driver's side window shattered?
Original English title:Chipped driver window?
Post summary:Someone tried to smash my driver's side window last night. They succeeded in leaving 5 nice chips that will most likely spread. I guess not charming enough . Do you think the windshield guy under the orange tent can fix it with his windshield magic? Replacing a new power window is not an option. I don't lock my car now. They'll smash it again, I know. I can't fucking afford this. I hate people.
