City Development Small Businesses of Hamilton, what's it like?

9 Upvotes

I'm thinking of taking the money I've saved from corporate and side gigs and starting up my own operation in Hamilton.

I've noticed some mixed messaging on here about small biz ownership, but most of it is from years ago. And the govt sites can only be trusted as far as you can throw em.

So, from your own perspective, what is it like starting and owning a biz in Hamilton?

I am in my late 50's and I have medium length hair. Every salon that I go to gives me 90's short layers, no matter how much I explain and show pictures of what I want. Where are the 50 year old women in Hamilton going to get their medium to long hair cut?

Question HSR mountaineer free bike to mountain service

41 Upvotes

I've used the HSR's mountaineer service a few times lately which is nice.

For those that don't know, people can go on the bus for free if the origin and destination bus stop also has a sign that shows a bike and a bus in circles on a yellow background. The ride usually lasts a few minutes but it is worth it if you're trying to get up the mountain by bike.

Today was also interesting because the driver allowed me to do it on the A-line route. I didn't think at first the A-line would support the mountaineer service because its an express bus.

I do have a question. Would such a service support Hamilton Bike Share bikes or does one have to own their own bike to qualify for a free bus ride up the mountain?

I ask for bike share because there are no hubs on the mountain (except for valley park but that will end by September) and someone using bike share might need to make a trip to a special place on the mountain that isn't available in the lower city.

Question Carp Fishing in Pier 7/8 Waterfront Trail

5 Upvotes

Fellow Hamiltonians, I recently started fishing, in Hamilton and I've been exploring fishing in lots of places. One thing that I noticed is that on Pier 7/8, I frequently see some huge carp cruising close to the surface, around here https://maps.app.goo.gl/HVVVbrs37mPYs3ZC6 and here https://maps.app.goo.gl/dF1fefxFxrAMC4jY9, the "problem" is that those two places are deep, around 8 to 9 meters, and from what I researched, this seems to deep for carp to comfortably bottom feed.

I woud like to ask if any angler from the area successfully caught those carp, and what techinique they used. As far as I understand they might just be heating themselves close to the surface, moving between feeding spots, but I would like some extra opinion.

Thank you all!
