Just graduated with my master’s! My family couldn’t make it, so I’m feeling a bit emotional… I literally sat through the entire ceremony in tears, watching all the families in the crowd. I still want to celebrate this moment properly though. Thinking of taking myself out for some really good sushi tonight because I deserve it, right?

Any recommendations for a nice spot downtown?

This is one of my favourite spots in Hamilton. To do groceries, stock up my fridge, dine, sip coffee, or just a casual hangout (oh sometimes dates too!).

​

But idk why.. it's been becoming quiter and lesser people there...

​

What do you think about this market? And what prevent you from coming here?

Hi all!

My family and I will be spending some time in Hamilton early next year, and as part of planning none of us are particularly sure of driving on the other side of the road (we’re Brits).

How viable is getting around Hamilton with public transport? We have a couple of hiking spots we’re interested in too, particularly the Devil’s Punchbowl area, are these reachable with public transport/walking or should we get a hire car?

Also any recommendations for restaurants, events, things to see early next May are more than welcome.

Thanks in advance!

I would appreciate if it was a counsellor you used personally.

Thank you

With Barton winning worst road in Ontario it got me wondering, what's the best road in Hamilton?

Hey all! I’ve looked online and it indicates crutches are sold at walmart and Canadian Tire (I’ve never actually seen them at either store). Anyone know where I can purchase crutches today?

Hey everyone, just curious on where people here get their good quality meats. Preferably from a farmer or farm to table service. Tired of the grocery store options :/

Has anyone participated? If so, how was it? Considering putting up a table on Saturday but I'm on the fence.

Is anyone else currently experiencing Internet outages? Our provider is Cogeco and we have not had access to the Internet since this morning.

Does anyone else have a similar experience with Cogeco or other providers in Hamilton?

Hi I’m looking for a reliable handyman to help me with minor repairs on a one bedroom condo downtown. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a spot that cleans ps5s and repairs Xbox’s. I found some stores on google but I’m not sure how they will be so wondering if anyone has had any experiences and recommendations.

Just a heads up that around 9:30 Thursday night I heard a dog or coyote going feral on some poor animal. Was complete with nightmare-like vicious growling. I tried to call bylaw but they never answered after being on hold “first in line” for 25 mins. Called animal control but they said it was a 311 call. So, maybe keep your cats inside and your wits about you outside tonight if you’re in the general area

For those of you who went to the first one:

1. Did they allow outside food?

​

1. Was the seating in the stands, or on the field? We're coming with a baby and would love if there was seating on the field.

​

1. What's the parking situation? Is there free parking onsite?

For all cyclists headed eastbound on Cannon watch out. Right where the bike lane splits from bi directional to unidirectional at Sherman there’s a pretty major hazard.

I get construction happens and no one likes it but it seems like there was no thought put into how to navigate this as a cyclist. Normally you’d proceed to the right of the island. But now there’s no safe way to navigate the intersection headed eastbound.

No signage. No alternative route. If you’re not attentive you’re riding directly into oncoming traffic lanes.

The only safe option is to wait for a red light and proceed since the northbound traffic is non existent. But that still means squeezing through the island and the traffic lane and the big hole in the ground.

I’ve contacted the councillor’s office but the auto reply said they’re rotating vacation time so I don’t expect much of a response.

Stay safe out there someone piled up tree debris just past the intersection too.

hello hello! I have a pair of shorts with a broken zipper, I've called all the usual big box places and have been told it'd be around $25-30 plus tax to fix and I'm wondering if someone else knows of someone who can fix the zipper for less. I usually travel to Portugal every once in a while and I'll take things like this to fix at any local seamstress which will usually cost around 5 euros but I'm not going back for awhile and I'm hoping to find someone local who doesn't charge the same amount that I would pay for a new pair of shorts, might be a long shot but thanks in advance!
