My grandmother lives there, it’s a pretty nice city just a lot of smokers there but over all i like it and hope to go there for another holiday one day ;)

[@DV-yr5ow]

I counted 5 Tim Horton’s (maybe six). You know you’re in Canada or western NY when you see Timmy Ho’s every 1/2 mile. Love them!

[@TomSamworth]

There's 5 in my town of less than 30,000.. (plus 1 Starbucks and 3 independents)

[@PennyORadical]

Hamilton is where Tims started. More Tims per capita than anywhere.

November 2017? Unbelievable, So fresh! Kinda surreal experience for me. I left Hamilton 2005, wow more than 10 years ago. Thanks for the uploading!

[@9Asabov3SoBelow6]

Dont believe this video, go take a walk down here and see how shit it is.

[@jakethunderbird8735]

You can come back. It's okay just downtown Hamilton fucking blows Barton is still abandoned and boarded up and homeless men and strippers piss on walls. But everywhere else is great

[@redDL89]

True. Downtown is really run-down and sketchy as hell. But the outlying areas (especially the parks, beaches, etc.) are very nice.

[@KarenNewtonCanada]

I loved watching that video.

[@iamkman]

Tom, great video, Its amazing how virtually sitting so far I was able to travel with you. Can you do a favor , re upload this with a more up beat music

I was born and raised in Hamilton, left the Hamilton area in 2015, still have friends there and met many past relationships, I continue to work one of my jobs in the area Of hamilton and it’s great but video needs an update when you drive downtown there’s many more condos now and a lot is changed in four years now this video

I’ve been to The Hammer a few times in the past couple years. I think it’s a city full of working class people trying to make ends meet. Tim Hortons Field I’ve been to a couple times already.

[@AuntieDeb71]

I've lived in Hamilton for all of my 65 years and have seen many changes, some for the worse and more recently, many for the better. For those who are reading and possibly believing some of the "shithole" comments, come see for yourself before you believe them. I wouldn't have stayed here if that were true. A good time to come might be during one of several free annual festivals... I've linked only a few and there are several more. But don't just see downtown! When you've had enough of crowds, music, and great food, make sure you drive up the mountain and drive along Mountain Park Ave to Mountain Brow Blvd to Albion Road, and stop once in a while to take in the view. Get out of your car at the Kenilworth Stairs and take a walk on the park trail there, or go down them and have a more rustic walk on the old rail trail halfway down. Then switch over to the section of the Bruce Trail that takes you down the Red Hill Valley and along to Albion Falls. This is no shithole! facebook.com/pg/Supercrawl/videos/ which happens to be on right now. festivaloffriends.ca/video/ www.lockestreetfestival.com/ dundasbuskerfest.ca/

I love you 😍

[@itsonlymyopinionok8115]

lived here all my life, and unless you love the hiking/trail lifestyle there isn't much to do for entertainment.. and our downtown core IS a shit hole can't shop without panhandlers bothering you.. better to go shopping in burlington or at Limeridge. Jackson isn't the place for that .. unless you wanna hit the markets.

[@sirxavior1583]

I think south of Barton Street, the Mountain and around the Hamilton Go Bus has potential..why?. It only takes about 1hr to downtown Toronto by GO Bus and your not paying GTA/ Golden Horseshoe prices for a home. My sister purchased a home in Oshawa and it takes her 1hr 30 min to travel to work easily she could have gotten a place in Hamilton for peanuts and the travel time would be either the same or a lot less. Long term you won't make as much on getting a home in Hamilton but its not like your mortgage/rent was very high to begin with. What matters is paying off your mortgage faster and making sure your mortgage doesn't cost you to much to the point you end up house poor I think Hamilton has an advantage for that.
