I guess you have to know when to arrive.
I was over there twice recently for an appointment.
beautiful sunny days early evening and mid-day.
both times, everything was empty and streets were devoid of life.
patios were empty, cafes were empty. Maybe I'm in the wrong spot. I was on Brant and then around the corner on Lakeshore where all these apartments are being built.
Both times I came back downtown Hamilton afterwards to streets filled with people, patios full on James,Hess,Augusta and a much more vibrant scene.
Burlington only seems to be busy during Ribfest.
