Utilities

Not even sure I'm labeling the area correct - recently started working in the Parkview West area and have the ability to go out to grab lunch. Springers Meats is the plan for today - what other spots do I need to be sure to check out? Love anything simple, hearty sandwiches, soups/chili's, and a good poutine once in a while. No stranger to eating in my car or at my desk, so "to go" spots are a-okay. I would like to keep the drive time to 15 mins or less from the area. What spots should I make sure to put on my list!?

Looks like the train is skipping Hamilton this year.

As well as a couple of other shots taken while riding to that location. We live in such a beautiful country.

(Actually, it might have been Monday. But anyway, it was Thanksgiving weekend, and I felt very thankful.)

I still love a good half chicken w. fries and 2x chalet sauce, ideally the festive special, but wondering what the best alternatives to Swiss Chalet are. Charred?

I was walking by the Zoetic on Concession, a large film crew set up. Asked one of the crew, they smiled and wouldn't tell.....

They have these self serve drink locations. You scan your card. Grab what you want and leave. Apparently the cameras track you so they know what to charge you.

I had $30 charged as the flat rate. But it has since been refunded and every time I check the online portal it says $0. I grabbed two beers and two pops.

My friend who also grabbed two beers and a water was charged $7.

Lots of police presence and heard they were filming jere before, anyone know ?

Which one of you won Lotto Max?

I have a couple of guitars that my dad was building before he passed away. I'd love to have them finished - they're nearly complete, from what I can tell.

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who may be able to do the work?

Thanks!

I noticed this orange glowing light in the sky downtown. Is it just the lights being reflected from the factories? Pic taken around 12:30 AM Oct 14th.

It's awful that a library is put in the position of solving a societal problem that should be a government and law enforcement responsibility. Be sure to vote.

Found this little one on a walk near Nora Frances school on Upper Sherman. She seemed lost and was very chatty and very friendly. She wouldn’t leave our side. Not pictured is a very fluffy tail.

We’ve taken her home and will be getting her scanned in the morning for a chip.

Hey everyone,

We just bought a pair of Loge/Rogers Club tickets for Jimmy Carr tomorrow night off StubHub that indicated parking was included. I can't find any information confirming that on our tickets or from the TD Coliseum app/website, nor did we receive a separate parking pass. Does anyone know if there's a way to check?

Is parking just included with every Rogers Club ticket, or will I need to find my own parking?

Hi, I know we have a few youth programs in Hamilton and other programming in general but I wanted to know if there were any where you can learn how to fish, learn how to do calligraphy and maybe learn hairstyling, like cosmetology? Or even like bartending classes.

Anyone know anything? Even if it's outside of Hamilton, preferably free programming. Even if it's not for youth specifically.

My partner and I are on the hunt for potential apartments (preferably to lease) and we’re having trouble finding a newer build that also uses its square footage well.

I live in a new build right now that I love, but it’s not ideal for two adults and all of our combined belongings, so we’re on the hunt.

But we’re finding that a lot of new buildings - The King William Rentals, 75 James Condos - are poorly laid out with tiny or narrow rooms and minimal open space.

Has anyone had luck with a newer building where the apartments are actually suitable for two full-grown adults? Budget isn’t a huge concern!

(I’m not opposed to older residences, but I’ve lived in them before and had unavoidable problems with leaks/faulty hardware/pests so I’m more inclined to stick with newer buildings where I haven’t had any of those problems so far!)

I'm looking for fun things for a group, especially since Halloween is on a Saturday this year.

I've checked out listings on places like Eventbrite but with the rise of AI posters it's hard to trust what actually might be worth going to.

Hello! Looking for a Pediatric OT that can help with a 5-6 year old and some handwriting fine motor skills. I can find some in Hamilton on Google but hoping someone may have some recommendations.
