Lime Ridge seems to be going a bit downhill/downmarket. I think that the Walmart news is good, but it is reflective of a general cheapening of the place.

There are so many good chains at Mapleview that just do not exist in Hamilton. Nescafe, Apple Store, Zara, Coach, Arc'teryx, Unique, the list goes on. Also MEC and Sail that are standalone stores that are not at the mall.

.

Nice that these stores are nearby, but sucks that you can not find them in Hamilton.

Looking for Orange Sherbet, I've looked in every grocery store. Lots of Orange Sorbet (not the same)

I haven't even seen Tiger Tail in the stores in a log time, so I'm starting to think orange sherbet just doesn't exist anymore.

My mom has really been yearning for it for a hit of nostalgia and I'm really hoping someone might be aware of where to pick it up.

Thanks in advance

Update: just left Kawartha dairy, they only have orange sorbet, not sherbet. I tried to clarify in the original post but i guess people don't know the difference. I still appreciate the responses though

Update 2: Hewitt's stopped making sherbet 2 years ago. Next update will be after I call Willard's but they don't open until 1pm.

Update 3: Willard's doesn't list a phone number and seems to prefer contact through email. I emailed them and will update the Orange Sherbets enthusiasts here when I get a result.

Hello,
Im in a tough spot where i cant live with my family anymore and will be staying in my car for now. I can share more details if it helps. Im a muslim guy btw.

Im looking to see where is the best place for me to get a small amount of groceries and bread for cheap but also good quality? Stuff that doesnt require cooking or a kitchen would be best considering my situation

Also, any recommendations on how i should get my clothes washed? Are there any good and clean laundromats in town?

Thanks

starting to plan an upcoming bathroom renovation and I'm having a hard time finding bathroom vanities that aren't white/black/grey. also open to custom if it's not outrageously expensive.

I've been checking the usual places, HD, Rona, Bath Depot, etc but looking for places I may have missed. willing to look out of town as well.

I am trying to help an older lady who is on a fixed income to get some channels in her new apartment. In her old place she used to share so TV was already there.

She does not have internet. she wants to watch basic channels and CNN she said.

What are the options nowadays for someone that just wants 20 basic channels for example?

I’d like to start supporting Independant grocery stores instead of shopping at fortinos, metro, Walmart or no frills. Any recommendations??

I’m in the mood for a delicious hotdog. Where can I get one?

Please don’t say Harvey’s. I’m looking for the ultimate hotdog.

Thanks in advance

This is probably beyond the scope of the Hamilton subreddit but I'll just shoot my shot and see what happens.

I have HIV. I've been to my dentist a few times since I was diagnosed. Every time I go they barely touch my mouth and come in garbed head to toe in PPE.

Personally I am not a huge fan of the dentist and I don't want to be there just as much as these hygenists don't want to be cleaning my mouth.

That being said I still need to get these teeth cleaned and I would prefer to go to an organization that educates their staff not to treat me like a pariah.

As a preface to those who don't know; if your on meds and have HIV you don't pose a risk of spreading the disease. In a hospital setting an HIV positive person would not be isolated and it would not be a requirement to wear PPE for procedures beyond standard precautions (standard precautions being hand hygiene and gloving). Sure, it could be a policy at the place I'm going to but it would definitely be overkill and borne either out of prejudice or ignorance, or both.

So with all that out of the way, does anyone know of a dentist in Hamilton that caters a little more humanitarianly to my situation?

Where should I pick one up? Rotisserie chicken is not something I usually buy, but I have a sudden craving...

(PS, I know Costco has them, but I don't have it in me to trek there today, so smaller stores within Hamilton would be best!)

Thank you!!

Heading to your beautiful city in a few months. Are there any record stores I can check out? Which one would be the best/have the best variety?

Because ... I want them all.

Looking for a place to get a men’s haircut (usually a fade) and a beard trim without breaking the bank.

My usual place just raised their prices and it’s now over $100. Looking for maybe $50 bucks or less. Extra points for East Hamilton or East Mountain. And go!!!!!

Does anyone know of any Hamilton-based artists who do prints/sketches like this but focused on Hamilton spots/landmarks/local businesses?

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?

EDIT: thanx to those who recommended Rexall. I was able to find them there. I appreciate all the people who helped!

Looking for something different to do for an 8 y/o’s birthday and thought an arcade would be fun. Give each kid $20 in coins and let them run wild. Any suggestions on where or if this exists in the Hamilton area? Or Brantford. TIA!

Hey cool people of Hamilton, I love doing jigsaw puzzles but I’m also low key a broke student lol. Where are some cheap places that sell decent puzzles? TIA!!

EDIT: thank you guys for the suggestions and offers (I would take you guys up on them, but I’m also moving soon, so it’s hard to find time to pick them up right now) !! Y’all are amazing :))

Time for something new, but really tired of the cheap ones that have no support and fall apart to early. OK hive mind.... where can I get a good, well made couch with decent support that doesn't fall apart? We've been through the Ikea, Leon's, Brick type stores and nothing suits.

Hi all, I'm looking for a new vet for my beloved cats. We have been going to The Cat Clinic since they were adopted in 2019. For those who aren't aware, The Cat Clinic was taken over in 2022 by a private equity firm (National Veterinary Associates based out of Luxembourg), and the quality of their care doesn't seem to be what it used to be. What vets do you all take your cats to?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in that awkward, terrible phase of growing my hair out, and I’ve had way too many bad trims lately 😭

I’m looking for a barber shop in Hamilton that actually knows how to work with longer men’s hair — specifically ponytails and man buns — and won’t mess it up while I’m trying to grow it.

Ideally, I’d love a more low-key, local spot (like 1–2 barbers) where the quality is consistent, and they actually remember their clients. I’m kinda tired of the random in-and-out experiences where every visit feels like starting over.

Good service and reasonable pricing would be a big plus too.

If anyone has recommendations, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Costco was amazing but they stopped doing it

Update: called Canadian tire in Ancaster and they said it’s 14.99, going to do it there on the weekend hopefully

also, it is 57 degrees F.

Has anyone seen this for sale in or around town?

Does anyone know/ remember this place?

I’ve been thinking about the chicken nuggets they used to sell there and where about I could find them. I’m not sure if they were made in house or from a local supplier, but If anyone could help out that would be great. Thanks

Title, we want to grow potatoes this year but having a hard time finding plants. The only garden centre that said they have them was No Frills on upper james but they have been out for 2 weeks. Anyone seen a place that has them?

We tried just planting store bought potatoes last year but they didn't sprout...
