  • Back in the day when you could comfortably fit four friends in the front seat, seatbelts be damned! This video is in response to a viewer who asked if I had any Hamilton videos. Well as shaky and amateur as it is, here is the only footage I have of Hamilton. My friends and I were on our way to Niagara Falls • NIAGARA FALLS - AUG. 3... and someone hired me to deliver some boxes of stuff to an address on Emerald Street (judging from the video anyway) in Hamilton thus paying for the gas to the falls!

    I find this very valuable. The Petro Canada to McMaster University portion is part of the route my family takes to drop my sister off in the campus. Of course, as time flies, change happens. The Petro Canada is demolished and is an empty lot and the Dairy Queen closed and the building was vacated, painted gray and white and the inside is boarded off.

      The DQ demolished was within the last year, as was the dealership beside it.

      The property is owned by Columbia College, another residence will be going up there. Dealership was Sterling Honda, now relocated to Upper James.

    You made several wrong turns there :)
    Somehow ended up either going up the escarpment and getting off again at Main East, going down Longwood past the old Camco plant, then turning left into west Hamilton instead of right to downtown where Emerald is. Either way thanks for hte memories, this brought a lot flooding back :)

    I have been living in Hamilton these last five years and it feels weird to see the city without the condos.
