Prime Gelato Closed?

There’s a picture circulating on Facebook of a Korean ice cream shop taking over Prime Gelato’s space. Anyone know why it shut down? It always seemed so popular.

Gas issue - shell on red river

Just wondering if anyone has had this issue or noticed this. Tonight I went to the bigger shell on Red River (and River/junot) I put $20 in my gas tank and my meter didn’t move AT ALL. Now I know gas is expensive but this isn’t the first time it’s happened at this location. Time is tight so I’ve had to put in $20 here and there and it always changes my mileage till empty…but this time, nothing. I tried explaining it to the worker and he assures me gas was in the pump and went to the vehicle, but I’m not so sure.

Has anyone else had something similar at this location?

The dog people.

Ok might get hate for this but....WHAT is with people in this city and letting their dogs out of the car and then just driving along side the dog, doing laps like that around and around. I see it in innovation dr/premier way loop every single day. The amount of times ive had close calls with dogs...Oncoming vehicles pass by then SURPRISE there's a fucking dog chasing the car!!! Not only is this insanely lazy but dangerous!! I came SO fucking close to hitting a shepard tonight which led me to making this post...rant..haha...But like you're not concerned you may accidentally run it over? Or someone else?? Its an industrial area with big trucks all over... And i cant help but wonder if the dog thinks theyre straight up abandoning it....idk. walk your dog like a normal person. Ive never seen this before moving here, annoys the fuck out of me. And dont get me STARTED on people leaving dog shit all over the place. IN BAGS!!! WHY put it in a bag and LEAVE IT???? JUST LEAVE IT, NOT BAGGED IF YOURE GONNA LEAVE IT???? The dog people in this city are the most irresponsible, brain dead ive ever seen.

Edit: I'm so glad everyone agrees with me so far, sometimes I feel like im losing my marbles LOL

Council approves massive waterfront development plan

This looks great if it actually comes to full vision. And the Parkway extension to the Central Ave overpass is interesting.

Looking for a trusted dentist after bad experience

I had been going to current river family dental for years, no issues not even a cavity, cleanings every 9 months. My last cleaning they put me with a dentist id never met before, and he told me that he can visually see a cavity. Thing is, what he pointed out has been there for years and looks like a stain and none of their other dentists said anything before. I didnt even have xrays at this appointment.

I get the filling and have extreme constant sharp pain and sensitivity. It hurts to drink water, eat food, breathe air. I have never experienced anything like this before, never had issues with my teeth. It's been about 3 months so I went back, and was told the cavity was seen on xrays. When I pointed out I hadnt had xrays done at that appointment, they changed their reasoning and said it could be visually seen. They said they stand behind the filling and wont offer any resolution for the pain. The only option is to take the filling out and put it back in, but I would like a different practice to do this work because I no longer trust them. Please let me know if you have a dentist you trust. Dental issues are new to me and I cant live like this. Im loosing weight and constantly dehydrated. It's really interfering with my daily life. I wish I never had this work done.

Honestly what is it with transit today ?

Why are so many buses getting cancelled today ? Is the weather not in their favour cause it’s too clear for them ?

Guitar teachers

Any recommendations for guitar teachers in town? My 12 year old wants to take some lessons over the summer. He’s taken lessons before, but his teacher was an older man and not enthusiastic enough for him, so he found it boring. Someone fun and cool would be a great match for him. He wants to learn chords so he can play his favourite songs.

Don't stop in the roundabout to let me in

That's not how the roundabout right of way works, it wasn't even busy. I was timing my roll to go after you but now that you've stopped I'm stopping too and now both our time is wasted. I gave buddy the "fucking go" hand gesture and he peeled out and now I feel kinda bad like should I just go next time? At least they are trying to be polite to cyclists even if it makes them unpredictable?

It’s my cakeday, so here’s a plain-language Thunder Bay city council digest I built

It’s my cakeday, so I’m using my one annual fake internet legitimacy token to share something I built for Thunder Bay:

https://citycouncilmatters.ca

It’s an unofficial, plain-language city council agenda digest. The idea is simple: council agendas are public, but they are not always easy to understand quickly. This site tries to turn the dense civic/legal/planning language into something normal residents can actually skim.

It includes:

  • plain-language summaries of agenda items
  • key dates and meeting info
  • “how to have a say” notes where relevant
  • glossary explanations for civic jargon
  • links back to original city sources

It is not run by the City. It is not partisan. It is not pretending to be journalism. It is just a local citizen project meant to make civic engagement less painful.

I built it because a lot of city decisions affect regular people long before most of us hear about them, and by then the useful window to comment has often passed.

Still rough in places, still improving, but I figured cakeday was a decent excuse to share it.

Feedback welcome, especially if something is unclear, broken, or missing important context.
