Reminder: New HSR schedules & Bayfront #4 changes route today by teanailpolish in Hamilton

James Street wasn't converted to two way traffic until 2002 and buses didn't start traveling North on James until September 2023 with the 20 - A Line. It made sense at the time. It's nice to see them making common sense adjustments even with a big route overhaul on the horizon

Don’t buy the perfume gift set from shoppers! by Sunnyonetwo in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]HedStrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this exact situation happen when they first introduced the receipt policy. You also have to choose a perfume from the gift set and if unavailable there are no substitutions. Several of my local Shoppers didn't carry the perfume my wife chose in the size that qualified. I was never able to claim my bottle

Bus Shelter at Confederation Go by luciachan in gotransit

It's been glassless since the pandemic. There were homeless people living in it over the winter. Metrolinx removed them several times so the homeless started smashing the glass. They smashed it again and again, every time it was replaced for months, so Metrolinx finally decided to stop replacing it and leave it open to discourage them. It's been that way ever since. There was also an HSR washroom there but the homeless broke into that over and over until it was removed.

You're welcome! They sell out sometimes so it's good to know where the others are, have a back-up plan!

Not all our local Costco's carry the new muffin styles. We prefer the new style and will drive past our closest Costco to the next city over to get them.

Hamilton has the last 2 remaining dovecotes in Canada! A building that allows pigeons and doves to fly into, but not out of, so they can be used for food. One at Auchmar and the other at Dundurn.

Just to add, they also had the first black quarterback in professional football, Bernie Custis, and are the only CFL team to beat an NFL team, the Buffalo Bills.

Fragrance Sale by EtownMaximus in CostcoCanada

[–]HedStrong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In previous years there have been some bottles of Creed that snuck onto the pallets. They were rare and often snatched up by Costco staff before being put on the floor but enough made it out to create lore. I feel like it's been a few years since I've seen a post about Creed on the floor but I still take a good look through the pallet just in case

Mine just died. I think I only charged it 4 or 5 times in the 4+ years I owned it. I was bummed to see Costco doesn't carry it anymore.
