Nice video! I used to live in Hamilton in the mid 80s to early 90s, haven’t seen it in decades. I miss going to Roller Gardens, Zarky’s and Jackson Square. And Roma pizza!
Jackson Square used to be a lot more vibrant and busier than it is today. Many of the more upscale stores have left. In the late 60s, the City of Hamilton expropriated and demolished a number of city blocks for “urban renewal” and closed the streets for the mall to be built. Many small businesses and heritage buildings were destroyed. It also created a blank wall along King Street.
MC Ken, Your trip to Hamilton was a great idea and success. Quick question, how many pairs of hammer pants did you owe during the early 90's? Can touch this...🔨🇨🇦

Nice hike through the Hammer! Lots of good gritty city sights. Looks like the Jackson Square mall has retained it's 70s aesthetic which I love.
Thanks for watching, Justin! haha 70s aesthetic sums it up.

I've seen pictures of all the old buildings that were destroyed for the redevelopment. What a loss.
