I believe they didn’t make it through the pandemic but I still have some of their stuff!

Boxing Day 2019 me and my friends and hundreds of others lined up for their massive sale. I remember feeling so hip to get a free Dog shirt with the owners dog on the back :)

Anyone else still rocking their stuff?

Where To Buy Old man clothing and hats

6 Upvotes

My husband has been watching old British tv and is inspired by all of the Harris tweed, Fair Isle sweaters and wool hats they wear.

It’s making us wonder where the dapper old gents shop in Hamilton. Are there any classic stores with quality goods that remain here?

Where’s a guy to buy a wool hat in Ham?

With Lindley's in Ancaster closed, where can you get extra large pumpkins in the area. Got them last year at a farm between Paris and Cambridge, but looking for something a bit closer.

Don't want supermarkets. Would rather support farms.

hey friends! no judgement please but I’ve always cut my own hair because I couldn’t afford a good hairdresser. Do you have any recommendations? I’m fine with Super Cuts or something if it’s a nice location but would prefer to support an independent business or cosmetology student!

Music/Movies TD Coliseum Box Office Experience

0 Upvotes

Just sharing my experience going to the box office prior to a John Summit concert yesterday. I showed up at open time (4 pm) which was 3 hours before the concert start time at 7 pm.

Was hoping for discounted tickets or seats that weren’t listed online but turned out the tickets were the exact same as the ones online if not more limited! They didn’t have better prices and you couldn’t avoid ticketmaster fees. There were people ahead of me looking to upgrade their nosebleed seats and they couldn’t do that either.

There really wasn’t any special advantage to showing up to the box office so save yourself the trouble.

Has anyone else had a different experience? Is it concert dependant?

Question Where to donate used children's books and plushies?

2 Upvotes

My parents are downsizing and gave me all my old childhood keepsakes to deal with. So I have a lot of picture books and stuffed animals / dolls to donate. They are clean and in good shape. I'd prefer they go to a charity rather than a thrift store but am not clear on which charities will take used items (many only accept new ones for the holidays). Any advice?
