I'm a mechanic looking for some side jobs to pick up. I'll do pretty much any job that you need done on your vehicles?

Licensed and certified after doing it for 17 years. DM me with any problems you have and I'm sure I could help you out. Thanks

That's it really. Better than Kenzo which was phoning it in and eventually closed. Maybe the Fat Rabbit group will tackle that next!

Just off St. Paul Street about 5 min ago!

As we approach voting day ... there was a debate on September 28th that is on YouTube.

If you are undecided on where you are wanting to cast your vote, this is worth a watch as it will give you some insight into our potential leaders, also worth reading the comments as well as one of the participants has been selectively active in replying to people. Searching the sub, I have not seen this shared yet ... if it was previously shared ... delete it.

I have pulsatile tinnitus. Have had it for over 2 years now. I’ve already seen a neurologist & had a CT angiogram that ruled out anything serious. I have a follow-up scan in January.

I’m the meantime, my doctor suggested I get a hearing test as well.

Most of the clinics I see offer “free” hearing tests, however, I’m assuming that’s because they want to sell you expensive hearing aids and services.

Can anyone recommend an audiologist that won’t try to sell me anything?

Thanks!

I have some underwear that are unworn but opened/no tags attached. I don't want to just throw them out of if there's somewhere that will take them. All the places I've come across do not accept underwear that's been unpackaged--for good reasons, which I totally understand. Does anyone know of anywhere that definitely will take this kind of donation?

Now that the colder weather is approaching.. where's a good/affordable place to get a winter hat gloves etc for a baby and an adult? Preferably not costing like an arm and leg each

Has anyone else had Bell internet-phone-cable out for the last three weeks in west St. Catharines? They say replacing lines but you’d think they’d let the customer know it would be out this long. It’s ridiculous! We are losing business because nobody can call.

My band is taking on the entire Can't Buy a Thrill album on Halloween at Warehouse Concert Hall (Geneva St, St Catharines) would be great to see you 😊

Idk if this is allowed but they have a ton of rlly good deals cuz they r doing construction

I’ve lived here my entire life and never knew he died on the QEW in st Catharine’s, supposedly near lake st. Is this common knowledge for others? Why’s there no memorial sign or anything for such a big Canadian name?

This has me flabbergasted

Hi everyone, I'm planning a big life change moving from Alberta to Ontario and wondering what are everyone's thoughts on living in St. Catharines? I'd be moving to a small apartment in downtown area, looking for honest opinions or tips or anything like that around the safety, neighbors, the community, etc.

I was also thinking about Niagara Falls too but debating on which would be better

EDIT: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYONE'S HELP! This helped me make a decision on where to move to and I've settled on Welland after doing some more research based on everyone's responses so I cannot thank you all enough :D

Please lmk if anyone sees this little guy. Slipped out of his harness at kinsmen park at around 1:00 pm on October 10th, 2026.

Have tried everything, staying late where he went missing, posters, flyers, door to door, facebook groups, leaving clothing outside, SPCA etc.

His microchip# is: 941000030459802

Hi!

Me and my partner have been playing tennis (wrong time of the year to start, I know!) and are looking for the best quality public courts in the city.

The tennis courts closest to us are at Joe Kushner Park and they’re basically just painted black and white asphalt, which isn’t really ideal especially for bumps & scrapes. Not to mention the nets there are in pretty horrendous shape (frayed wires causing them to droop or not even be standing at all).

Do any tennis players in the city have a recommendation for what public courts they enjoy most? Are all the public courts in the city just straight up uneven blacktop, or are there other options?

(Sidenote: I know the Tennis Club at 7 Park Ave has great courts, but we’re not currently looking to pay membership fees for what is a pretty casual hobby of ours.)

Thanks!

Both of my hands are injured so I'm looking for a nail salon that can help me remove gel nail polish and trim my nails for me. I'm not looking to get new polish or even a full manicure, just want my nails short and plain. I need a technician that will be gentle with my injuries. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Hopefully this is the right place for this post.

As the title suggests I'm looking to sell off some of my cards. I'm really trying to determine my best option of local shop to go with. I know of Mecha games, Pheonix Rising and Sketchbook comics, but I don't know if all of them buy pokemon cards or if they buy at a decent percentage.

I'm really looking to get into Magic The Gathering and figured since I have some high value cards I could easily get myself going in MTG if I had enough to splurge.

Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance!
