Now of course the problem is......MONEY. Real question should be how to get money.
I don't like that idea to be honest with you because then the out-of-towners, specifically Torontonians would use that as a way to poke fun at Hamilton. It would be like, "Aaaah look at all those poor Hamiltonians down there. They're feeling self-conscious and really bad about how they look they feel they must block the view we get of their steel mills with all of these water fountains."

I don't care how many water fountains you erect you will still be able to see the steel mills and the fire from them lighting up the night sky. Plus some folks like myself actually like the view from the Skyway. I remember last summer one of the performers at the Festival of friends, an acoustic guitar player from the Maritimes, shared with us a song he wrote about the beautiful view he gets of Hamilton at night from the Skyway bridge.
