I have lived here twice as well, soon to be a third time. Home is where mah mom is. Thunder Bay is WAY behind the rest of the world. If you want a flashback I highly recommend visiting. If you totally hated the 80’s – don’t. Lots of snow and freezing cold in the winter and the rest of the months are millions and millions of bugs and of course – pot holes and road work. I’m not kidding about the bugs – it’s like a veil of bugs everywhere you go. BUT there is beautiful Lake Superior and the Sleeping Giant, amehtyst mines, bush, camping, and more bugs. Not recommended in summer if you are allergic to bug spray – and if you go in the winter you are a total sucker for punishment.
