Kinda sad tbh

nice was it christmas time

Jesus Christ Hamilton sucks like it is just like it is dead there it's nothing like Oshawa like Jesus Christ has so much nice things. Like holy crap it's like a wasteland worse than Toronto Jesus Christ it's a goddamn ghost Town

Gordon McGregor what up

Amazing video, the only flaw is that it was moving too fast.

so glad i got out

Grew up in this neighborhood. Tried cocaine for the first time at 12 years old. Had a pedo try to pick me up (george wiley), all while pollution was raining down on us from the nearby steel factories... have seen a lot of shit go down here. Do not move near Barton. (FYI, my life is great now, so no worries)

Lived there in the East end my whole life. (58 years). Now I thank God I moved during the pandemic. It was once a proud working class, blue collar city. Shoutout to Eissenburg and Horvath for turning it into a filthy, disgusting, drug infested shithole.

very grim glad i escaped 147 balsam ave s

It's so sad a once great steel and football city has fallen to this. Encampments everywhere and the city hasn't learned yet.

Used to live her in the late 70s while attending Mohawk college was a bar on every block great street back then

Do you see the security team at all

I know so many people that live in these areas now coming up im going to show my good friends out here my areas i grew up none have been there with me

Nobody goes down there anymore because off addiction.

I remember back in the 90's, the area was teeming with street walkers.

At 22:48. At far left is St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church. This is one of the oldest churches in Hamilton.

At 22:02. At far right is Canadian Tire, another Canadian success story. A hardware store with probably 20 locations in Hamilton. This is a small store, but there are big locations of Upper James, Nash Road, and at Center Mall.

At 20:33. At far left is Tim Horton's, a national donut chain. There are at least 100 in the Hamilton area and the first location of the chain (called Number One) still stands on Ottawa Street. I hear Tim Horton's has locations in the U.S., Pakistan, England, and some Canadian foreign military bases.

At 20:20. That is the First Place building at left. Stands at 25 stories and was built in the late 1970s. It houses people in geared to income units, mainly seniors and disabled people.

At 13:18. That is the Homestead apartment building (formerly Century 21 building) at right. It is still the tallest building in Hamilton at 47 stories.

At 9:01. That's Hamilton Place at far left. A 2500 seat venue, it has hosted many world class music and comedy there. I saw Liberace, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Jerry Seinfeld, Simple Minds, and others play there over the years.

What a dump of a once great mall. The Eaton Centre Mall (or Hamilton City Centre) closed last year for a condo development. Freshii moved out. Nations has a lost a lot of business since the lockdown in 2020. There are many closed stores. It all went down hill when Eaton's closed in 2001. The vendors I know are trying to hang on but it is difficult. The market and library have reduced hours. There are street people with nothing to do everywhere. And there are increased levels of violent crime in the downtown core. Yet condo building keep getting built and rents continue to skyrocket.

Dankeschön ❤❤❤

Thank you four the video

I don't remember ever seeing it look that empty.

I used to live just off Barton growing up. Fairfield Ave. Things have changed a lot since then. Appears rather bleak.

Barton has so much potential if the city would just remove a lane

thanks for sharing

Judging from the attire people are wearing I'm guessing the season is either spring or fall. Take a walk through here during a nice summer night and you will see that it's alot more active and alot more going on.

u almost made it to my crib lol

ah yes the ends

endless beauty 🙄

I live here on vanauley walk

It's a cultural wasteland. Needa trees, garbage bins, signs of life.

Jane and Finch, looking crappy.

My child hood neighborhood. Best days ever

So where is the bell phone booth?

Wait what? A phone booth? The last phone booth Superman can use

Fun walk. The bouncing is comical for some reason. 😊

Was born in hamiltion and remember the panhandlers and people playing music outside. I moved away in 82. the mall still looks empty and half used sad but cool to see again

You couldn't move in Jackson Square on a Saturday. Then limeridge mall was built and changed that! The mall needs a major architectural change especially to the exterior. With the amount of downtown condos going up in the next few years the mall will see crowds again . They should plan for that . 5:30

Where are the people??

thats supposed to be sketchy?

A fascinating video of Pelissier St. In Windsor. Close to where I lived and worked back in the day. Made me a little homesick

Nice views. I was hoping to hear a naration as I plan to visit Alexandra Park, Atkinson, and the First Baptist Church on Huron when I arrive from NYC on vacation.

I used to work at the now demolished Wellesley Hospital on Wellesley and Jarvis Sts. Back in the nineties the area was full of junkies, rubbies and lots of hookers.

Im going to really miss this place, too bad im moving to Michigan, so long Canada!

My father used to tell me stories about growing up in "The Jungle". He went to Bathurst Heights high school though, so I'm not sure if this is in the same area that he referred to. Having grown up less than ten miles from Detroit city limits I can honestly say that this is nothing compared to American ghettos. Maybe The Jungle was rougher in the 70s? 🤷‍♂

hamilton is home🔥
