Recommendations Needed Recommends on preschools/daycares for 2 year old Stoney creek mountain

Upvotes

Hi! Just looking for any recommendations or experiences good or bad for preschools/ daycares in the Stoney creek mountain area. I’ve already applied to many at 2 months pregnant and my son is almost 2 years old and no calls as of yet. Looking to see if anyone has had experiences at other places I may have missed. Thank you in advanced for any advice !

Question Emergency vehicles on King?

Upvotes

Question - I honestly didn’t know where to move. Driving last night on King, towards the QEW, just before Hess. It was about 9 pm. Multiple cop cars came flying up behind us. We were sitting at a red light, I was in the middle lane. Cars all around us. One in front. One behind me. 3-4 to my right and 3-4 to my left, plus some parked cars. It was a bit of a fog so I can’t remember if the parked cars were in front of us, after passing through the light. Or next to the land to my right also.

3 cops come up behind with their lights on. They went behind the row to my right. The red light was not changing. Cops kept honking at those cars. But they didn’t have anywhere to move. I saw two public cars go up on the sidewalk and the first car eventually went through the red.

What are drivers to do in this situation? Honestly asking

Where To Buy Looking for somewhere that sells infused oils

Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

I’m unable to have garlic or onions due to a food sensitivity, and an old friend of mine once bought me a garlic infused oil that I was able to use in cooking. It was a great way to get some garlic flavour without actually eating garlic.

I’m pretty sure she mentioned buying it somewhere in Dundas, but I’m not 100% certain, and unfortunately I know the name of the store. She did mention they sold a variety of infused oils as well.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Or, if you know of anywhere in Hamilton, Dundas (or nearby) that sells good quality infused oils, I’d really appreciate the recommendations!

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Recommendations Needed Rep/rep-adjacent soccer clubs in Stoney Creek area

Upvotes

Looking for a soccer club for a 9 year old.

He just got back from Europe with my wife on a two month experience trial and the club is signing him to under-11 ‘contract’. The problem is that we now must apply for a visa and I’m a professor so I can’t leave just yet, but am tenured and with a sabbatical starting in June 2027.

In the meantime, I want him to play on a decent local team. We went to Saltfleet and they were extremely pushy and then I saw their coaches running drills and, not to sound rude, but those men look like they’ve never seen a soccer ball before. They were better talkers than coaches, it seems.

A quick search online and I see the same commentary about this club.

I would prefer to stay in the Stoney Creek area (mountain, grimsby, is fine) because of my and my wife’s schedule, but would like a decently professionally run club and not a money grab.

I’m not from the area so any help would be alleviated. Thank you.

Recommendations Needed Birthday activity - Hike/waterfall suggestion for early October? (less busy)

Upvotes

Hi! I'm bringing my boyfriend to Hamilton for his bday weekend this year and I was hoping for some suggestions on which hike to do.

I prefer a quieter hike, not too busy - but would love to see a waterfall or have a nice view. Any suggestions? Also, if a busier hike is just too nice to pass up, I'd gladly hear it.

Also, any bday recommendations in the area would be lovely! We are in our late 20s/early30s. Thank you !! :D

Question ELI5 the HSR #5s to me

Upvotes

So we have a 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, and a 51 that gets treated like a five even though it's obviously a fifty.

They have wildly different terminuses, but are named the same and grouped together because... they all go through downtown, as if we don't have a bunch of other buses that also go through downtown.​​​

Then we have the phenomenon where two of these similarly named buses will stop next to each other, one at a stop named X and Y, the other at a stop named Y and X.

I'm not from Ontario, and I really want to know who made these decisions so I know who to hope stubs their toe. ​

Edit: I lied, it's worse than that. One stop is named X at Y all caps, the other X at Y normal case. ​

Recommendations Needed recs for a relaxed cafe for reading?

Upvotes

aside from libraries which r obviously quiet, i like cafes bc they have coffee and food to accompany my book 📖 i’ve been to several in the city and the ones ive been to 1)lack seating/are always full 2) are super noisy with loud music and ppl having loud conversations.
Relay cafe especially i found to be one of the noisiest so far 😅 (no hate to high energy vibes but sometimes i just want a quiet atmosphere + good coffee)

My lovely Mom, who lives in a retirement community and only moved to Hamilton the last 10ish years, called me tonight after the Ticats game and asked me this -

"Why did they keep yelling Oscar Weiner's over and over again? "

I needed a moment to answer.... 😆😆😆
