hamilton used to be laughed at

I'm fully aware. I watched it turn into a textbook example of gentrification. Back in '08 after the steel workers got laid off, the city felt like it was in a slump. Artists made James St. North cool, and now Supercrawl is attended by 100,000's on the same street. Same thing I saw happening in East London just before I left.

There's really a bunch of different neighbourhoods in the city. You can go out to Westdale and it's like a completely different town. My fam was based out there for a minute, and my uncle commuted in for like 20-30 years before he left his gig at the TV station.

USED too ? I still laugh at Hamilton.When my cousin moved out there i said peace gawd :salute:i probably wont see you anymore...

Downtown is still dirty as fukk and theres still scores of meth heads walking around or sitting on the curb of downtown streets...

Theres most likely a 60 yr old lady taking a squat in the middle of King Street tonight,its still a white trash paradise.The tallest building downtown is still an old government funded co-op apartment building,very symbolic...

You young nikkaz don't know...Hamilton back in the early 2000's was live as fukk for College kids. The amount of trim from white girls back in the day was :mjcry:....shyt add Oshawa, Niagara Falls, Sudbury, Kitchener, London. All those spots :wow:

If Hamilton had better transit to Toronto, I'd seriously consider moving there. Give it 15 years, that place is going to be completely transformed.
