I scanned through the video. Some entertaining little bits in there. I've not taken enough advantage of what Hamilton has to offer despite not being too far from it.

Do you ever see the image transforming from a gritty city to a more refined image, like Pittsburgh? Though TBF, Pittsburgh wasn't in the shadow of a metropolis next door. Though with the influx of people from TO and the western burbs I suppose that could change things, but very gradually.

When I was in my early 20s, and driving through Hamilton on the very odd occasion, I did find the long one way streets to be amusing, with the timed lights and all, but like the video mentions, those wide, one way streets didn't make for a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. Having driven those street a couple more times in the past 1.5 years, I find I dislike them now. If it's something that helps in rush hour and I was someone doing that drive everyday, maybe I'd appreciate it.
