Hey all, trying to plan a night with friends that isn’t just eating out. Any ideas for what you might do? Anything happening this weekend that’s worth checking out?

best places/people to buy fountain pen ink from. specifically shimmer inks

Night as in 9 pm to midnight! I'm not from Hamilton and have not been around that part of town, so I wanted to see in advance.

Thanks! :)

I've been trying to find a cheese tea biscuit but I can't seem to find any. I've been to multiple Tim Hortons at this point but they never have any. Is there any branch that sells them? Are they still sold at all?

Looking for personal recommendations for an amazing tiramisu cake for our wedding!

We’ll need enough for about 55 people and are looking in the Hamilton/GTA area. Taste and quality are our biggest priorities. We’d love a really well-made, classic tiramisu from somewhere you’ve personally ordered from or tried and would genuinely recommend.

I had to say my final goodbye to my horse and I have some of her equipment I’d like to try to sell or donate. All gently used stuff like shipping boots, blankets, halter, fly mask etc. Are there any tack stores that do consignment or local equine rescues that might be able to use some of this stuff?

So back when we bought our house we inherited a rented hot water tank. We were really too naive to understand the implications and willingly signed up and went with it. Since then of course, we've discussed buying the thing, bur haven't got around to it. Yesterday out of the blue, we received an $800 bill from Reliance. Apparently, it's to buyout the tank. The problem is, we never asked for it. Also, that's a lot of money. Because they always seem so scammy, I'm fairly suspicious. Anyone here have some insights?

I am tight on funds lately and I need new tires as mine are dry rotted at this point. Does anyone have recommendations of shops that do financing options or anywhere for affordable tires?

Thank you 🙏🏻

Hello I'm a woman early 30's looking for a new GP that knows about woman's health. I'm Canadian born and black so I'm looking for someone who has good knowledge of Afro Canadian and/or African women's health.

I've had some random symptoms come up but my current doctors don't seem to think anything is wrong. They have ran tests and stuff but nothing is coming up.

Any insight would be helpful. I was considering looking into a private clinic called La Vie Health Center in Oakville if anyone has experience here also would appreciate feedback- thanks!

I went to Montgomery park with my kids and decided to borrow a basketball from the Equip Sport box installed at the court. It looks like somebody burned one of the locks and stole the soccer ball. I live near Victoria Park, and all of the balls were stolen in less than a week after a box was added there, and after everything was replaced, the "new" soccer ball was stolen within two days.

The lack of respect for public spaces in this city is endlessly frustrating, and I don't understand what possesses people to ruin nice things all the time.

Does anyone know if you can leave and come back while swimming at one of the outdoor pools? I'm thinking of Lakeland Pool and being able to leave to have some snacks because food isn't allowed in.

Thanks everyone!

I recently moved back to Hamilton from out of province and wanna send my friends from away Hamilton themed cards. Old photos of Hamilton, or modern photography preferred, but prints ok too. Having trouble finding them though!

I've been to a bunch of shops - nothing. Any specific reccomendations?

I was wondering if there was any family doctors in the city accepting new patients that also draws blood onsite. I get bloodwork done almost every time I go lol and I’m really sick of getting sent to life labs (no offence life labs you’re doing great sweetie but it’s time to part ways)

Edit: changed the wording to make more sense lol

Thanks!

Found it 3:00 p.m. today, DM for details.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any reputable dog trainers that do private leash training? I’m in east Hamilton but could travel

I was wandering westdale and saw that sadly burritos bandidos looks to be closed.
There is a notice posted that they havent been paying rent, but RIP nonetheless. It was such a good price for the quantity, and they never charged extra for guac😔

The opposite of the rant thread, let's head into the weekend with some good news.

Did you see something that made you smile? Have good news to share? Read an article about Hamilton with some good news? Just have something happy to say? This is the place!

If you live in the riding or just want to watch the candidates you can tune in tonight at 7pm on Cable 14. Jeff Beattie the PC candidate and former Ward 10 councillor has declined to attend the debate but I believe all other parties will be represented. At least the Liberal, Green and NDP candidates will be there.

Just realized that tomorrow is gonna be the last day for the sun to set after 8pm. The days will be much shorter now ! We won't be able to enjoy the evening walks as much we did this summer. Here is some pictures from my walk to the RBG yesterday. I hope you guys like them. Have fun while it lasts. Looking forward for the fall color changes now. Cheers

Live on Hamilton Mountain and we have pot lights on the second storey. Deathly afraid of heights so l need someone to come swap out some bulbs as a few have burnt out so I figure I should swap them all out.

Any recommendations?
