I usually don't have much to say about Hamilton Ontario in a positive light. However this building in the east end is a fantastic example of
Art Moderne architecture. It's the entrance gate to
National Steel Car and appears to undergoing a very tasteful restoration.
Another classic example of Art Moderne is the
Carlu in Toronto.

Another lost example of Art Moderne at the corner of Yonge and College/Carlton.
The film playing,
The New Centurions was released in 1972.
The car is, of course a
AMC Gremlin, voted one of
"The 50 Worst Cars of All Time" by Time magazine.
fantastic pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteHamilton doesn't have a lot to say about you in a positive light, other than you sound like just another pompous ass from Hogtown. Get your head out of yourself and look around.
ReplyDeleteHarsh words, indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou could be a spokesperson for the Hamilton Tourism Board.
ReplyDeleteI moved from Toronto to Hamilton one year ago. The Hammer is a wonderful town, with its own personality, and distinct natural and cultural ecologies. You ought to try harder to be smart.
