Parking around St. Joe's Hamilton - insane!

 already started 

If you're willing to walk a little there is quite a bit of free street parking along Markland and it's side streets, especially west of Bay Street.  

I live on Hess and the spots on my block are always vacant all day, but it's a 10 minute walk to St. Joe's.

 Well the parking lots were full today, but we just parked on a side street and it wasn't too bad. Made it to my apt with lots of time to spare. 

I would have parked on Markland but the traffic was crazy and they have that construction shack in the intersection. I used to park on Markland when I was a student nurse doing my clinicals at St. Joes. I'm not adverse to walking a little but the side streets are so bad right now with all the snow I didn't think I could find anywhere to park. Of course too I'm right at lunch time when it is probably the busiest time of the day. I'm thinking honestly of parking somewhere up on the mountain and taking a bus down the next time I have to go to St. Joes. I could park at Limeridge Mall and take one of the buses right down the Jolley cut and get off right beside St. Joe's. Probably take longer but less stressful and potentially cheaper than having to park in the garage. How much is the bus in Hamilton now anyways? It's been ages since I had to ride one.

 i think the bus is like 210 now but i may be wrong as i haven't taken the bus in years, i live just  down the road  from the mall lots of parking in there and you  would  take the wellington or wentworth bus  down

I looked up the fares, $2.55 cash or $2.00 for a ticket. Not cheap but will be cheaper than parking in that darned garage and wasting time and gas driving around looking for a place to park.

We used to live really close to the mall, just up on Mohawk and Upper Sherman, one of those apartment buildings across from Zellers. That was the best! Across from Zellers and a grocery store and a 5 minute walk to the mall. I loved it! Makes me miss some elements of living in Hamilton. Do not miss the traffic!

 ha ha hey Jenn i used  to live in the apt 512 Mohawk it was called spanish courts back in 1990- 9, i think the owners  lost the  building and new  owners  took over cleaned  it  up a bit, and yes  it  was  great  area
