Hamilton is a cool city. The air is only mildly toxic, there are flame-belching chimneys on the waterfront, and every once in a while it's buzzed by a bomber

When I first moved to Hamilton, I had to stay indoors for days because of choking, acidic air pollution. But at least Cootes Paradise has mosquitoes the size of CF18s. Go Cats!

It was ok when i lived there in the early 80s. Downtown was terrible. Delta Secondary was... interesting. And then I moved to Toronto.
