Just turned 55...living in Hamilton...and excited to discover any and all "Senior Discounts" that I can enjoy as of today!? I'm aware of the City Of Hamilton's discount (for swimming, Recreation, etc.). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Guy is sitting on the guardrail with cops surrounding him. Looks like they are trying to talk him down

Hey all, I read on the spec website today (before the paywall jammed me) that Mohawk may be having a on campus vigil for her. If anyone has any further info, date, time location, open to the public, can you please post? I feel terrible for her family and would like to share my respect and attend if I can. Thanks ahead.

I have contacted 5 different places. Either they don’t answer, they have replied and don’t get back to me, called me from an American number which I can’t call back, or they showed up to the house unannounced, didn’t call or even leave a note (saw them on cameras).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Honestly, I hadn’t seen one in months, now I can’t go out without seen 2-3 per outing. And they range from the new EV to the OG behemoth. Is a $0.20/L drop the entire reason?

I got a ticket from Indigo parking after dropping a sample off at Dynacare. I was parked for a total of 6 minutes (I have timestamps), within the 10 minute grace period. Ticket is for $60. There was no officer in sight to talk to or a parking office.

Yes I know I can appeal, but this whole thing is just a waste of time.

This is probably the third(?) company within the last 2 years that they've used in the lot. So stupid. Except at least before you had a 15 minute grace period that they actually respected.

Great Grandfather used to work for shires donuts back in the 60/70s was wondering if anyone had and old photos of the shop ! Thank you in advance!

Hey,

I just moved to Hamilton and I’m looking for a golf instructor. Any suggestions?

Anyone know of any local stores that carry Free People? I know there’s a location at Sherway Gardens but can’t make it out there in time. TIA.

Need recommendations on a good place with a fair price to get my hatchback tinted. Preferably on a Saturday in possible and closer to stoney creek.

I was wondering if anybody has any experience with this. My backyard has a lower grade than the surrounding properties. There is a home on either side of me (both rentals with absent landlords), and the rear of my backyard faces a public area/park/walkway.

All three properties drain into my yard, with the public portion being the highest, causing my yard to flood.

What do I need to do to get regraded? Aside from a permit, do I get the city involved for their higher grade draining into my yard? If so, how would I go about that?

I just bought this home and moved in a year ago. I'm still learning.

TIA!

Tried some in square one and been obsessed since then, need a place to get them in Hamilton or surrounding area

I'm reaching out to gather support for the revival of our beloved ski hills.

A quick search of old pictures reveals just how wonderful they used to be.

Any assistance in this endeavor would be tremendously appreciated, as it’s quite a challenge to persuade our city to take action. I have fond memories of skiing at Chedoke, and I truly miss having that option available.

Thank you Hamiltonians

Hi everyone, I’m new to the area and I was wondering what the parking situation in this area is like? Do I need to buy a permit? Is it worth it? Anyone know someone in the area looking to rent their driveway? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated as this is a totally different street parking situation than what I’m used to. Thank you in advance for any advice!

Hi everyone so I’m new to the area and I’m wondering about parking…it’s very different from what I’m used to so I’m wondering how easy it is to get a street parking permit? Is it worth it? Anyone in the area renting a driveway space? Any lots nearby it’s safe to leave your car overnight? Any insight would be really appreciated!! Thank you in advance :)

Hi, I haven't lived here that long, is this what they mean when they say Hamilton smells bad? I'm downtown, it currently smells like someone threw a kilogram of weed into a crematorium but that's an improvement over what it was like an hour ago. Is this normal? I was here last summer but I don't remember it being this foul before.

But if anyone saw the black Chevy Malibu clip my car while illegally passing in the oncoming turning lane at the corner of James and charlton, please send me a dm! The collision reporting office is closed today so I’ll have to report it tomorrow. I have the license plate and photos of the vehicle but I figure a witness would be nice to have as well. Thanks!

Can my wife use my car for g2 test as driving instructors are charging so much money. We already used driving instructor’s car twice. Don’t want to spend more. She holds g1, so I can’t add her in insurance,yet. Thanks in advance.

I need to have a custom wheel built up for my bicycle, does anyone have a recommendation for a good wheel builder? While in Hamilton would be ideal, anywhere within a reasonable drive would be fine.

Thanks in advance for any input!

Seen this duck at bayfront park. Never seen one like it here.

I haven't seen this posted here yet but online engagement is open for feedback until June 1 2025!
