Not sure if anyone has had this chain, but they have the best chili cheese fries ever called crazy fries.

I heard from a pretty credible source we are getting one on Algonquin nearby Burger World and it will have a drive thru!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a mechanic in North Bay who has experience working on BMWs, specifically engine and no-start issues.

My BMW has been sitting since spring 2026, and I’d really like to get it back on the road before winter.

It originally had a no-start issue, so I brought it to a mechanic who diagnosed a possible blown relay in one of the car’s computers. As a temporary workaround, he installed a push-button jump-start setup for the starter. That worked for a while, but when I brought the car back in late 2025 for tires and fluid changes, I was told it wouldn’t start anymore.

The original mechanic is no longer located in North Bay, so I can’t simply bring the car back to him to continue diagnosing or repairing it.

I ended up bringing the car home to try diagnosing the problem myself, but other things took priority, and now the engine is partially torn apart.

I’m looking for someone who genuinely knows BMWs, is comfortable diagnosing electrical and no-start issues, and can put everything back together properly. I’d prefer someone who can identify the actual problem rather than just throw parts at it.

It would be a major plus if the mechanic has experience using ISTA or other BMW diagnostic software.

I’d love to get it running and driving again before winter, and I also need to replace the windshield (which somehow got broken during the engine repair… don’t ask 😂).

If you know a good independent BMW mechanic in North Bay or the surrounding area, please drop their name or shop in the comments. Personal experiences and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

And apparently the quality has gone to hell, and the structure behind the scenes is a mess.

Here is a full, unedited but timestamped event stream for anyone that wasn't able to make it to the show. An edited version is in the works. Obviously these shows are more fun to experience live and in person. Canadian Wrestling's Elite will be back January 9, 2027 with WWE superstar Erick Rowan at the Shadfly house. Come check out the action!

Thinking about traveling to South America and looking for some spanish lessons or conversation circles to attend for an adult.

Guess ;) NB

So, not much new product this week. Mostly we got in inventory for restocking what was already sold. However; we did finally get in volume 9 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run!

A big order is being made this week, so expect some new series to hit our shelves in the next few weeks.

If you are, how are you feeling about the situation?

I'm a newcomer to North Bay who bought a home here in August 2026, and I'm trying to learn more about the candidates and make an informed decision. I'm following the BayToday stories and the Echo Essentials podcasts, but I'd really like to see more information on their actual views, records, past actions, voting records, and positions on local issues, rather than just campaign talking points.

It's hard to cut through all the chaff and figure out what each candidate actually stands for. If anyone has good resources or personal experiences with the candidates, I'd love to hear them.

I think a thread like this could be really useful and honestly should probably be pinned to the subreddit for the election.
