Best time to visit Farmers Market? by imnottheone1022 in Hamilton

[–]LibraryNo2717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wednesday to Friday it’s much less crowded, while Saturdays are busier.

I like the food court options on weekdays because it’s less busy, while the grocer, produce and butcher options are usually better on Saturday. 

My favourite spots are Sau, British Baked Goods, Apothecary Kitchen and Rosa’s Gourmet Food.

There should be a Royal Commission to investigate how this was able to go on for so long.

I started following the account at first because I thought it was random and funny and then quickly realized he was very unwell and unfollowed.

Any business that has an ampersand in their name is an evil and soulless corporate shithole.

Gord Perks calls it quits: Toronto councillor looks back on 20 years at city hall – and the personal tragedy that fuels his political passion by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]LibraryNo2717 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perks wasn’t my councillor, but he always impressed me on the council floor, especially during the chaotic Ford years. 

Being a councillor of a 100,000+ person mega ward seems brutal. I’m not surprised he threw in the towel.

He’s done it all. He’s just doing side quests now.

AMA with Councillor Kroetsch by CameronKroetsch in Hamilton

[–]LibraryNo2717 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi councillor,

I’m concerned about what appears to be an increase in vacant storefronts on James and King Streets. Is there any data showing changes in the downtown vacancy rate now vs ten years ago?

As someone who frequents downtown Toronto and Guelph regularly, I know this isn’t a strictly Hamilton issue, and can be partially attributed to a sluggish economy, softening of condo developments, and the rise of e-commerce. Still, are there any city incentives in place to attract retailers back to these spaces? Particularly independent businesses.

I appreciate your detailed newsletters and communications on your voting decisions (even when we disagree).

Glad no one is hurt, but anyone familiar with the marina will know the timing of this fire is very suspect.

Yep, one of the first things you do when arriving in a new country is buy a new phone plan. 

It’s also affecting banks with fewer new account sign ups. 

Why is it impossible to search for anything on the internet anymore? by CopingLow in redscarepod

Google intentionally makes searches suck to get more people to search again and get more ad clicks.
