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. ​

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.... 😆😆😆

Found this cat wandering at night alone around Mohawk and Upper Ottawa, no collar or name tag but appears to be neutered. Figured I should make a post in case anyone is missing him

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.

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 !

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)

Hi there! I’m looking for a Spanish teacher to come to our home to teach my kids (elementary school aged). Anyone have recommendations?

MISSING CAT: Small white cat with green eyes. Very fluffy and friendly. Answers to Pangur Ban or Pangur. She is microchipped. Missing from near Main and Ottawa.

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

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

Any Hamilton ladies with thick hair have a good hair dresser they can recommend? I’m searching for someone skilled in thinning out hair and creating layers that would look good on thick & wavy hair. Thank you!!

In case you were blaming the Lanc pilot.

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! 🙂

Everybody thinks of the shelters
But what about all our seniors that need compassion and support too
Recommendations of a nursing home that will take donations of small gift bags of hygiene supplies , reading glasses and gently used clothing ?

I took these at Princess Point and Pier 4. First time shooting infrared film on my 1970’s Pentax SP1000. Shot on a 55 mm lens, F 11, ISO 64.

I've noticed that every weekend there seems to be loud music deep in the night (ends around 2am) and what seems to be a DJ? sometimes around the Main St/Bay St area?

Does anyone know whats going on?

Looking for a fun place to celebrate a special 40th bday for two people. The places I've looked at don't offer lunch service. Thanks!

I live in Greensville and looking to get a plumber that is certified and specialized in ejector and sump pumps. My sump has a really loud water hammer/bang sound every time it stops running and our ejector pit doesn’t seem to be sealed properly because it smells. Hoping to get someone reputable to come service them.

I was wondering if there are extra buses/trains after concerts at TD Coliseum apart from the typical schedule?

I'm travelling from Ottawa and was trying to see if I could take a bus back at midnight from union station. I have checked the travel planner and there is a bus from hamilton GO I could take after but I would be cutting it very close at 11:55 pm. Concert starts at 8 and would end at the latest 10:30.

Hello! I have an unfortunate situation on my hands and I'm looking to get some advice and suggestions. My mom's neighbor was a drug user and was ultimately evicted from her home as a result. She moved out and left her cat outside and has not returned for it. I believe she intentionally abandoned the cat. The cat was sleeping on the porch of its old home, until it began living on my mom's porch. This cat is soooo sweet and affectionate. I really want to take her in but I'm not sure if she's up to date on her vaccines, or if she's spayed. She also has a bald patch on the top of her head with some redness and scabbing. Vet costs will be a barrier to taking her in. I'm wondering if there are any cat rescues that would help me pay for her vet expenses. Or is there a rescue that would let me foster her while we collaboratively get her healthy, and then would adopt her to me? Thank you in advance!

I just got a new puppy. Now I'm not sure which clinic to choose. I've looked at Blue Cross Animal Hospital and Maple Vet, but I feel like there aren't many reviews for Maple Vet. After reading the reviews for VCA and Downtown Hospital, I'm a little concerned. Are there any other clinics I should consider? Thanks！

See title. I'm looking for an affordable place in Hamilton/Burlington area to have my high-pile rug cleaned.

Transport of the rug is not an issue :)

A few minutes ago, we were walking along Charlton when we heard a big bang. We turned around and saw a two vehicle collision at Queen and Charlton. I called 911 only to get a message that all agents were busy. I could see several other people with mobiles in their hands and thought they got through first. So I ended my call. A few minutes later I got a call from the police. The gist was not to hang up on a 911 call but wait to explain the situation. TIL

Does anyone have recommendations for a doggie daycare or dog sitter for a reactive senior dog? I have taken over care of my late mother's 11 year old pug mix who has severe anxiety and some mobility issues from age/arthritis. More fearful than aggressive. It's only for whenever I can't get a friend or family to watch her. TIA!
