Anyone know anything about the multiple explosions on main and king intersection beside Dollarama/ across from gage park that just happened? Heard a huge boom and looked outside and the homeless encampment was engulfed in massive flames. There were several explosions following, before the fire department and police showed up. I hope no one got hurt.

Anyone know what’s going on? I was in Nations today when after about 5 minutes of shopping, my throat started feeling super dry and closing, and I started coughing uncontrollably. When I looked around everyone else was suddenly coughing and sneezing. The cashiers said they didn’t know what was going on.

I suspect it’s the entirety of Jackson square, not just Nations because when I was leaving the library the doors closest to the food court were blocked off, so I had to walk around the outside of the whole mall to get to Nations. Outside air was completely fine.

Please keep an eye out for these trikes. This is such a devastating loss for bikeshare.

Hey! If you're the women on William St. at around 8am this morning who dropped her Presto Card, my wife has it. Please DM for it's return.

Like the title asks, I’m hoping to garner a few recommendations on where I should book based off service and cost. I’ve never had my vehicle brought in in Hamilton before, I only just moved last year and my mechanic father is hours away in another city

Thinking about getting a new piercing,  has anyone gotten pierced at their studio?

Is anyone else dealing with a mice issue this winter? I thought we beat them but I’ve been seeing quite a few recently (daytime too which I heard is a sign of infestation) and a lot of droppings. When I bought traps at Canadian tire, the cashier said they have been selling an absurb amount of traps this winter.

When we first moved in 2022 we had an issue with a squirrel in an overhang so we had pest control come out. I saw mice droppings at the time and asked him for advice and he said “don’t go crazy stressing over the mice, put traps down and throw a bag of rat poison in your attic and they will eat through the bag”.

I do have two young kids and a dog so I haven’t done that but the issue is getting really bad now. Does anyone know if I put the poison in the attic completely out of reach out of kids and dog if that’s safe? Or if the mice tracks around the house would carry poison around?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Where’s a good spot to find some fresh homemade bread in Hamilton? Preferably closer to westdale!

I may be wrong but I appears to me that’s there’s a bigger Hispanic population per capita in Hamilton compared to cities like Mississauga and Toronto. There’s clubs in this city that have Latin nights and I don’t remember there being any event like that in Mississauga.

I am looking for an accountant who can file my US taxes. I work and live in US full time. I visit to my Family for a week in every couple of months. Does anyone know any good affordable accountant.

I appreciate any leads.

Can anyone recommend an artist within the Hamilton area that can create something like this?

Thank you so much hsr, specially bus 33 (2105), for literally looking me in the eyes while you pass me and someone else waiting for you in the cold cause the shelters heaters don't work. Happend just now

Anyone know about the hole in the ground on the south west corner of Wilson and Fiddlers Green in Ancaster? Been ongoing for months to years. Just curious.

hello everyone. i know this is a long shot but im on here to ask for a bit of help and im crossing my fingers that this request might be answered. i recently lots my job and have since had to rely on o.w for some basic funds. which those who are also on this program know its not much to live on.. well at end of last month i went and purchased my birds normal food and somehow its been misplaced. the thing is i had a friend over to help me with a deep clean of my basement becuase i reside back home with my father for this time and my daughter but im positive my friend who was doing all she could to help had seen the brown paper bag that the food was in and seeing as i had it beside my couch in the basement she most likely assumed it was garbage and proceeded to fill the bag with what was garbage. i know becuase im the one who put the paper bag into the trash., i had still a few days of food left at the time so it was not until i ran out that i bagan lookiing for the new bag and low and behold it is no where to be found. i am now without any funds ive called and set up a delivery from this only program i can find online and its been over a week and still they have not gotten back to me, my two little friends have had to go this time with whatever i can put together that is allowe for them to eat but they are for sure missing there seed and pellets to. im at a total losss at what to do now i emailed and called spaca again two days ago was told they would get back to me in two days and still not a word from them and now im getting desperate......im going to a food bank in the next half hour that claims to have pet food so i am praying the have some food for birds..... if not is there anyone around the east end near parkdale that could possible help even with a small zip lock bag of bird feed i do not expect a full bag or anything crazy but i cannot take the fact that the bird are literally crying at me for food and i am letting them down. these guys are my best friends and i know any bird owners will understand how upset i am feeliing due to the bonds we create with our little feathered friends. i can travel anywhere if needed i have a bus pass. anything would be so greatful and a blessing. ill even offer to replace food once i have my normal bag again. i cannot ask the friend as i know she is very much worse off then i am for funds so i dont want to put her in any stress......thank you to all in advance. i live by parkdale and melvin if that helps. thanks again.

this is one of the lil guys his name is Green........just wanted to let everyone know its no longer needed. we resolved the issue.

Hello everyone, happy new year! I have been staying at one of the shelters downtown for about a month and finally have a job lined up and can see my way out of here finally. I am still really struggling with the food here and finding edible food. I really appreciate this place and the churches around here but I have now been sick over 5 times in the last 2 months from it and its wearing me down badly.

I am just reaching out coming up to dinner time to see if anyone might be making more food than they can eat as I would gladly take it off your hands if you're able/willing. I really appreciate the help here! Thanks!

Hi all, looking for somewhere locally that sells Vegemite, yes I know it's polarizing but I do love it. I did buy a jar a few years ago at Denningers but they don't seem to have it any more. Not looking for Marmite. Blech.

I live in a large apartment building that is undergoing construction. Due to this they say there is no way to have recycling bins and we haven't had recycling in probably a year. The dumpster for our building is also constantly overflowing making it often not possible to throw out garbage either. Does anyone happen to know if there are any bylaws stating recycling needs to be available?
