I grewup in Dundas . Miss my hometown sometimes and fond memories of Hamilton. My Dad worked at Dofasco

Hamilton hopefully will Go up as you say but I really don't think so I'm disabled a stroke and cardiac arrest and now colon cancer survivor and use a wheelchair and use darts to get around town now and get groceries and things and living alone and on odsp which really sucks

I guess you're right about there's no where else to go but up you go by Jackson square you cant go 5 ft without someone asking you for change of drugs.

In the early to mid 1980’s this place was a dream. Fit and gainfully employed people, clean streets, flower filled communities and parks, bustling downtown area. I loved and could never forget it. I felt like I was in the middle of a fantasy, in a place that had the innocence of “ Shirley and Laverne, Happy Days Milwaukee.” I revelled in its splendor. It was my first love and it spoiled me for other experiences I would have, nothing would measure up. I left not by choice in late1984 in the chilled winter’s air of mid December leaving fragments of my soul there. That December I said goodbye to a year and a third of the sweetest experience. Twenty eight years later I returned thinking that time would have somehow preserved my quaint little hybrid paradise. I searched for it everywhere but couldn’t find her. she was as unrecognizable to me as the woman I had become.My reality had changed and so had she to match a mind that was no longer filled with hopes and dreams or a heart filled with Great Expectations. I will never forget, but hope not to remember a paradise lost that I can’t find my way back to.Its now just a memory.I can no longer go there. It does not exist. Lost in time. Lost I hope not forever.

I have a suggestion for a downtown Hamilton anthem song, video of downtown and the song linked here....https://youtu.be/Tc2K6ESrTgQ

i think all the greater hamilton area region should build a lot more condo's and other new residental buildings and super archutecture buildings

I want to start up the Rocco Perri mobster tours just like they have the Al Capone tours in Chicago

Hamilton is a dump, people are rude especially the bus drivers, HSR is a pathetic excuse for publc service.....it is a filthy town with nothing to do, there are very few good places to eat, it has become very expensive in the past 5 years......please stop promoting this dive just so you can jack up the rents in these substandard buildings and attract people who are trying to get away from Toronto's overpriced concrete jungle........get the losers from the Maritime provinces out who are a bunch of slobs, crooks and down right aweful people from coming to Hamilton and clean up the streets and buildings, then try to sell it to people who have actually lived in fine cities.......this video is nothing but propagander to furnish the cities elite pockets.

no one filmed the wesley centre and the drug ridden corners,people getting stabbed,if you dont live there then you dont know.On the puter it lookes great,oh and someone said its a nice place,liar

Absolutely love this city!

I just bought a hammer town t shirt on Ottawa street

Have they done a lot to improve transit and cycling facilities? Is there Cycle Tracks on the main roads to take care of daily needs by bike?

Anyone trying to buy a store from me on James north in Hamilton

Why dont you try restoring the streets to start. Its part of what killed downtown Hamilton to begin with. Seriously, what city in north America have one way streets in its downtown? Its the quickest way to kill an area, and have anti-socials reign in an area What a mess up the idiots in power in Ontario are doing they just keep focusing on Toronto and Mississauga. these Idiots allowed Crackberry to turn sprawl Waterloo into a tech area instead of using the opportunity to revitalize Hamilton. Its just brain hemorrhaging to watch their idiotic planning. And the Councillors at city hall in Hamilton are worst than the ones in Toronto Look at Pittsburgh it was totally turned around. You can fill up a downtown all you want but where are the people going to go for jobs. So Everyone is going to go to Toronto for jobs?. the only jobs in Hamilton are low wage or retail, outside of public services Good luck at Union station. People are going to start killing each other in downtown Toronto workplaces soon due to the stress

Too bad Opera Hamilton closed down.

sure... say what you want. this city made me.

Thanks for this video ! I think the beautiful natural setting and huge amount of green space is worth mentioning too.

What a spectacular video! #truthbetold . I am so excited to be a part of this thriving, vibrant Hamilton community that our amazing people have created throughout the years. Kudos to this great production and many more success stories to come! 

Nicely done! It would have been better with more diversity in the speakers which are all white males except for the woman token appearance

very well done ecdev! now if only we could drag council out of the 50s!

Great video--nicely done.  Makes me proud to live there.

I love Hamilton!
