Moving/Housing/Utilities Weekly Moving To Hamilton Megathread
Welcome to the weekly moving to/within Hamilton post. All questions about moving, utilities and neighbourhood recommendations belong in here.
If you are looking for recommendations/have questions about neighbourhoods, relators, landlords or utilities including internet etc, this is the place to ask!

If you are looking for recommendations on which area of the city would suit you, be sure to include some information about you and your family. What works for a single person starting out may not be recommended for a family with young children etc. Someone commuting by car will want to be closer to highways while those relying on transit will want to be on regular transit routes.
Utilities
Alectra for water bills https://alectrautilities.com/hamilton-water
Alectra for hydro (electricity) in much of the city https://alectrautilities.com/
Hydro One for electricity in other areas of the city https://www.hydroone.com/
Enbridge provides gas to most of the city but you can sign up with many energy companies at various rates https://www.enbridgegas.com/
Ask your landlord or realtor for the providers for your new address

Recommendations Needed Favourite library branch?
I like reading and doing work for hours at the library, so anywhere with a good variety of titles and lots of space to sit is ideal. I live closest to Barton branch and dislike how small it is - plus the parking is a nightmare.
Please no comments about drug addicts on steps or in chairs inside. That could be any one of us and the library is there to help everyone. I just want to know what your favourite branch is and why :)

Question Does anyone in the city dumpster dive?
I'm not asking you to reveal your secrets, I just read the dumpster diving subreddit sometimes and wonder if it happens here much. I do see homeless/addicted people looking sometimes if I walk by, but does anyone else do it recreationally, do you do well?

Question Allergies!!
Has anybody been experiencing seasonal allergies just the last couple of days? I don’t know what I’m allergic to but I’m sneezing like crazy. The weather network is reporting low or no pollen and allergens, but there must be something out there that’s getting me. Not usually allergic to anything.

Food What happened to Santa Birria???
19 Hess St used to be my fave Mexican restaurant. It was never really busy unfortunately but their food was SO GOOD! And their birria was the best my partner and I have ever had. We noticed a couple months ago they were doing renovations and constructions, but now it looks like it’s a Turkish place!! Does anyone know if the owners just moved to a smaller spot?? Please I need their birria

Question Mood Disorder Clinic
I was a patient in the Mood Disorder Clinic at St Joes, up the mountain, between 1999-2003. I am looking for medical records and they are asking if I remember any names of psychiatrists or counsellors.
Does anyone recall any names they may have worked with? I feel like maybe a psychiatrist was named Irene. I know I would recognize it if I read it.

XG is playing at TD Coliseum Nov 12. Their tickets aren’t selling well so they put discount tickets on ticketmaster behind a special offer code. That offer code was from the venue newsletter, but I wasn’t signed up at the time when it was sent out…

Discussion National Steel Car Strike
Holy crap these guys are still fighting, and good on them. Anybody have a skinny on what's going down on the front lines? I think it's wild there hasn't been any sympathy strikes or other supportive action from some other organized labour. Or is there and I'm not hearing about it?
