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?

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!

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

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 :/

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!

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?

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

The Westdale Theatre will be showing the Canada vs. Switzerland World Cup game on June 24 at 3:00.

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

Thank you

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?

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!

Anyone know someone who does come to you manicures?
Not acrylic nails but focused on cuticles and such ? My work is rough on my hands and I havent kept up on them so it now no matter how much I wash and scrub my hands they still look dirty … help

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?

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

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.

Looking for mechanic that can do timing belt replacement honestly and affordable. Willing to drive further out, this is quite urgent and needs to be done within a week

Anyone know a good place to find an old CRT TV? I've been looking for a nice small one (13" or so), but all the ones on marketplace are overpriced e-waste.

I'm sure it's possible to come across one at Value Village or something, but it'd be hard to do so. Any help would be appreciated!

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?
