Blind River is a depressing little town on the Trans-Canada Highway, in the wilds of North Ontario. It's west of Sudbury, which is a depressing big city. It's a good place to go if you want to "drink and cruise for skanks", according to Shane (AKA "Blind DRunk in Blind River). The chief activities in Blind River are:

drinking
watching TV
drinking
sleeping
drinking
racing snowmobiles over frozen waterways (while drinking)
hunting (mostly drinking)
fishing (almost entirely drinking)
playing bingo
getting stoned
making more little Blind Riverites
and drinking
oh, and smoking too...
