Hamilton, Ontario: Durand

[@wigs9848]

Benjamin, I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for all of your time/efforts it took to create these. They are certainly appreciated even if many don't take the time to comment/give feedback. There's fascinating history in each and every village, town, city. I hope one day you make more. Many people scoff at Hamilton, but are ignorant as to its importance in helping to literally build Ontario, and Canada as a whole with untold Billions of tons of steel from what were once 2 of the largest steel mills in North America. I love strolling Aberdeen Avenue and the surrounding leafy, tree lined, well landscaped side streets, the charming houses, and trying to get a feel of the history and it's retained sense of grandeur. Cheers 🍻

Thank you for a pleasant walk around the neighborhood I’m very familiar with. So nice to hear about its rich history. (No pun intended)

I would love to see actual photos of these mansions being built??

[@heidiheidi4662]

Oddly, there exists zero photos of these collosal masterpieces being built. Very strange that people on horse and buggy would....and where is everyone??

This is a potentially-interesting video. However, there is a problem with the signal-to-noise ratio of the audio track. From a communications point of view, the background music is noise. It interferes with hearing what you are saying and reduces the effectiveness of the video.

I enjoy the history you share but in all of your videos you mispronounce so many places. Glasgow, in Scotland is Glas go. The W is silent. There are quite a few others, but most important is that Durand, is Der AND. With the emphasis on the AND.

Last few words of every sentence die out, which destroys the narration.
