@mattjelly @MatthewLaRose_ @CameronKroetsch "Internal politicking has haunted the BIA, which won only narrow approval when it was originally formed."

@mattjelly @MatthewLaRose_ @CameronKroetsch From 1991: "Hamilton city council didn't have any real option but to disband the Jamesville Business Improvement Area after merchants voted decisively against the organization."

TIL James Street North does not have a BIA. Was there ever one? Did it disband? cc: @CameronKroetsch @mattjelly

@TerryCookeHCF @FreiburgerJer @mattgrande @accidentalblues @hsr What years was he Superintendent of Operations?

@FreiburgerJer @mattgrande @accidentalblues @hsr Was my Grampa. Don’t know for sure. His @hsr employment started shortly after military service 1946/47 and he retired as President & GM in 1983 I believe.

Shout out to any #HamOnt historians, any idea when this @hsr transfer might be from? Candidate years based on Friday Nov 25th are 1960, 1966, 1977, 1983.

@J_A_Therien @RPMoran The street level of that Mac Grad residence is so sad. It could have been a connector. Dead space.

@RPMoran Drive up Bay street towards Cannon. The new Mac building has very impressive appearance when you get to see its full broad side from that view....otherwise, downtown is absolutely right back to the dread of 1996

I'm all but endlessly optimistic for the future of our downtown. However, speaking w/ fellow business owners, there's an undeniably deep sense of concern, if not grief, for the state of our core compared to a decade ago. Still, this was a nice new perspective this week. #HamOnt

@TerryCookeHCF @McMasterSports As hometown wrestler and announcer, Billy Red Lyons would say "Dontcha dare miss it!"

As they would say on WWF, "Don't you dare miss it!" #GoMacGo @McMasterSports

Athens GA is getting a minor league hockey team. ECHL. I have nothing to do with this but what should the name be? I’ll start: The Athens Jean Shorts.

@davidclowery Athens Rock Lobsters

@Pucksonnetca @UniWatch

It's so cold in Vancouver somebody is skating on the demolition site of the old London Drugs on East Hastings ...in a Charlestown Chiefs jersey!

@JoshLipnik This was a new construction. lintack.com/Projects/Insti…

@greg_tedesco @gcrawfordHamOnt Still need to get one! 2024 - for sure!

@colonellovely also - that new paper wrap from PRH is the absolute worst! Takes up so much space between recycling days and can't even reuse it for something other than packing.

An immediate example presents itself.

At some point I'm going to write about the absurd amount of paper waste the big 5 publishers put into the world, which only seems to be getting worse. Single books packaged in full size boxes, boxes that have to be destroyed to open, etc. Totally asinine.

@ham_bicycleguy does this extend eastward to Park Street?

FC-23-124 (Formal Consultation): 94 Cannon St W - "To develop a 10-storey mixed-use building with commercial use on the ground floor, and 126cresidential dwelling units above."

@aaronreynolds @RockmountRW but it's an arts high school open house!

Took my youngest to an open house at the arts high school he's considering applying to. He told me I'm not allowed to dress "like a weirdo" and vetoed this shirt.
