r/Hamilton

My mom is in town and I want to take her to brunch (I am pregnant and want many pancakes or related carbs) and then go thrift shopping. Any recos for either or both? Thanks in advance!

My birthday's next week and I was just wondering about any places that do birthday freebies in Hamilton? I know about the usual ones like Tim Hortons and Sephora from a google sheet I found, but I'm not sure how up to date the sheet is!

A midweek post to rant and complain about things in the city.

Top level comments must be IN ALL CAPS.

This is not to be targeted towards other users or any identifiable individuals - with the exception of public figures who may be mentioned as long as the comment does not cross a line. The rant post is designed to be a lighthearted place to complain about things happening in the city, not a place to harass people.

We will have to cancel the post if harassment of individuals continues as we are seeing a lot of posts reported with report reasons that copy to admin.

What was the reason for making Aberdeen one way...especially eastbound. If someone makes a left at Locke, the traffic will be backed up. Am I missing where two lanes were bad?

I'm looking for a trustworthy mechanic that works on Subaru boxer engines, any recommendations?

Many thanks!

We have an early morning radiation appointment at Juravinski tomorrow, and my husband would like to go for breakfast afterwards. Not being from the Hamilton area, can anyone recommend a near by place to grab breakfast afterwards? I’ve driven by Diner on Concession- are they good or is there another place worth checking out. Doesn’t need to be fancy, just good hearty breakfast fare.
Thanks in advance!

For anyone wanting to frequent Fortinos or travel to/from Fortinos and St. marys secondary school in West Hamilton, Rifle Range Rd will be reduced to 1 lane near the candy factory as they are replacing their roof.

Here's a picture of one of their construction signs facing Rifle Range Rd. with an approximate location of where the lane will be cut.

Is she still in business since that AWESOME place closed? I want to buy what she makes.

Just a heads up for anyone walking the Confederation Beach trail near the Ontario Correctional Services College, the red winged blackbirds are AGGRESSIVE right now. 😭

Me and a couple other people got dive bombed today. I know they’re probably protecting nests but we were literally just minding our own business walking down the middle of the trail lol.

Has anyone else experienced this lately or know when they usually calm down again? 😅

Hello, community members, I’m wondering if you could suggest some great options for Greek food in Hamilton - take out specifically. Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all for taking the time to comment on this. I ended up going with Greek Palace which was very good and fresh. Had the chicken souvlaki and beef souvlaki platters with pita and hummus on the side. Overall I’d give it a 7.5/10.

Hello, a bit of a long shot here but is there any cleaning supply stores in hamilton that sell professional quality window squeegees? ettore/moerman for example.
I usually get them all the way in toronto but it’s a huge effort.
Thank you in advance!

Is it really that serious?

EDIT: Turns out it wasn’t but jesus christ the alerts.

I think alerts were based on cellular coverage area, I am on Hamilton mountain got the only like couple but got atleast like 10 on my work phone which is also based in Hamilton but more towards industrial area.

People are right that next time no one is trusting these but better safe than sorry and yayy some rain after such a hot day

My teen just started as a line cook. What are the best shoes for them. Non slip obvi, but the floor is usually always slippery.

Where do you store your winter tires? Can I just store them outside at the backyard?

This is my first summer and I just moved in Stoney Creek-Hamilton
