THUMBS Down to the City of Thunder Bay “for refusing to clean blood off my stairwell and door after two unknown stabbing victims tried to enter my house early Tuesday morning. The city refused on the basis that it is residential property. I was forced to clean the areas myself and could have been exposed to various health hazards. It was especially upsetting to my young son who had to witness the blood stains while leaving to go to school. Shame on you!”
ON Dec. 19 at 11 p.m., at the corner of Churchill Drive and James Street, an orange Pontiac Sunfire with four teenagers inside pulled up alongside me, rolled down their windows and egged my vehicle. They sped off and I was stunned and unable to get a plate number. Merry Christmas and thanks for the mess that froze on my brand new Trailblazer. Happy Holidays.”
THUMBS Up to our readers who support this corner with submissions. Whether small or substantial, they share daily bits of city life that showcase the best, and worst, of our neighbours. Hopefully, the latter, and those who might identify with them, can learn that human kindness and consideration is a far better characteristic than carelessness. Much more important are the examples set by those who are recognized for their selflessness by those who take the time to do so. We are happy to provide a forum for all readers’ opinions and look forward to many more of them. Merry Christmas.

THUMBS Down to the person(s) who dumped a box of moose bones and carcass on the 20th Side Road (between Riverdale & Hwy. 61). Thumbs Up to a couple of good Samaritans (Bill and Roy) who walk the 20th Side Road each day and cleaned up those old bones!

THUMBS Down “to the person who stole the gravestone out of the car parked at a Bay and Algoma business. It wasn’t a Halloween decoration, it was a real headstone for someone’s beloved family pet. Maybe you didn’t realize its importance or maybe you’ve found your conscience. If so, than return it to anyone who works at the same business and they would be more than happy to return it to its rightful owner!”

THUMBS Down to the person who broke a raw egg over my car Friday night, Oct. 20. The next time you have eggs that you don’t need, please take them to the Thunder Bay Food Bank at 129 E. Miles St., where the volunteers can give them to people who need food to eat, not to perform acts of vandalism in the dark of night!
