Wonder how long since there was stock on the shelves at Nixon Grocer, Barton just east of the General.

@piya @Ursa_Ursa_Ursa @cbcfreshair @metromorning You mean the idea of getting up at 3 a.m. five mornings a week to make hundreds of thousands of us happier and better informed is not high on your list? Sleep is overrated.

@Ursa_Ursa_Ursa @PaulWilsonInHam @cbcfreshair @metromorning Nope

“Lovely and gentle things die, or are taken away. And some things endure...” My piece on the Nuseiba Hasan cold case @theSpec thespec.com/news/crime/202…

RT or tweet the same if you agree: Dear @cathmckenna, MP @BobBratina does not represent me and does not represent #HamOnt, we see his stance against this investment as a betrayal of the city as much as it is him breaking ranks with all three levels of government. #byeBratina

@grahamcubitt @RPMoran @JasonFarrHamOnt @JasonThorne_RPP @TheSpec @mcCallumSather @CBCHamilton @tivolicondos @cityofhamilton @CHCHNews .Domenic Diamante, now 77 or so, has been sitting on this property for eight years and won't let go. "This is a legacy project for me," he says. Time's up. Indwell to the rescue. Leave a message for DD at 905-528-5562, but likelihood of callback slim. thespec.com/life/2019/08/1…

This is how fires start, heritage is lost & lives & livelihoods endangered. The Tivoli theatre is currently sitting wide open, squatter & drug paraphernalia everywhere. Can something be done (even contacting the MIA owners)? #hamont @JasonFarrHamOnt @JasonThorne_RPP @TheSpec

@DrSarahSheehan .One in my Gremlin fleet looked pretty much just like this.

Not getting a dime from @SubaruCanada, but sure glad we bought that Forester seven years ago this week. Here it is, at Jerseyville Park yesterday. Our first three cars, back in the Seventies, were Gremlins. Many issues. With this vehicle, so far, not a one.

@SubaruCanada Sure, go for it. I just might keep this fun & faithful Forester another seven years. Will send you a second shot then. #YesSubaruCanada

@PaulWilsonInHam Fantastic Photo, Paul. We'd love to post it on our channels if you're interested. (If you agree with the terms and conditions - Subaru.ca/UGCterms - we’d appreciate you replying with #YesSubaruCanada.) Thank you!

This seems like a more than reasonable request to City Manager @JSmithHam1 who has talked about enhanced transparency and public engagement. This is an easy way to help residents stay engaged. Well, unless . . . #HamOnt

Before the latest ditherfest gets underway as Councilors offer their latest wisdom on investing in LRT and Hamilton's infrastructure, let's ask each of our Councillors a simple question. #HamOnt #LRT #YesLRT

@RickHughesCBC @CBCHamilton @TheSpec Ricardo, you’ve had a career to make a man proud. There is, however, life on the other side. I’ll tell you about it the minute it’s ok to patio again. In the meantime, deep-felt congratulations.

A bit of personal news, I'm retiring from the news biz, as of April 30. 37 years a journalist, last 8 w/ @CBCHamilton, following 25 @TheSpec. So 33 yrs covering  #hamont news: From mob hits to Mum show, Plastimet, harbour cleanup, amalgamation & LRT. Will miss it tremendously.

If you have 4 minutes and 37 seconds, this remarkable new video (complete with gorgeous mooing cows) will get you fully up to speed on the threat of further sprawl in #HamOnt. Council has a big decision on Mar. 29. Help it make the right one. youtu.be/WZQZOi2c8v4

@rrosenthalNYC .Kryptonite New-U Evolution Series 4, plus ABUS 10 Maximum Security Square Chain, plus ABUS 37/60 Granit Padlock. Short work for some guy with battery-powered angle grinder. Hope your Fahgettaboudit holds up better.

I've had other bikes stolen over the decades. Always hurts. Not as flexible as yesteryear, but this 2020 Trek Verve comfort/hybrid was a joy to ride. Thieves in Durand #hamont sliced through a high-end chain with power grinder. All tips appreciated. Thanks.

@pitacorian @tomflood1 .Agreed, Kevin. Abus and Kryptonite were no match at all for the power-grinder thieves that came after my ride.

@pitacorian @tomflood1 Thanks, Kevin. And sorry about your Devinci.
