It would be nice to see something like this in Hamilton,
http://www.yahoo.com/s/1039784. I think it would be a good idea for both King and Barton Streets.
With the warmer weather I've been walking home on a few nights, and have seen first hand how King Street east of the IV continues to fall into the abyss. Besides the 2 prostitutes at 7:30pm on the street last night (up from 1 last Wednesday night at 7pm), I see the variety stores are now closing.
J.J. Variety the one with all the nice flowers in the summer along the roadway closed a few weeks back, and the Big Bee at King and Emerald is now gone as well.
How long before the few good things on that street, i.e. The Greek Pastry shop, Newmans, etc. go as well?
Quite the sad state of affairs along King Street East.
