The Infamous Barton Street
This is an in-depth tour of Hamilton's Barton St. from Bay St. to Parkdale Ave. This might well be the grittiest stretch of road in Canada.
It starts off innocently...
Note that many of the trees in these pics still have leaves in November (some are still green). This is due to Hamilton's milder microclimate. Everywhere else in Ontario the trees are pretty much bare.
We arrive at James Street
This is a prison
really, it is
This is across the street
I'm not exactly sure what this woman was doing, but she had no pants...
Construction...
...former industrial lands...
...an old school
While I was taking this picture, right beside me, two men handed a prostitute some crack. I would have photographed it for you, but the men objected.
Hamilton General Hospital
Now to
Barton Village, I took a couple pics around here back in my "
Inner City Hamilton" thread.
A practitioner of the oldest profession...
I would like to have taken more people pictures, but the people around here mostly objected before I even tried. A few asked me what I was doing taking pictures. They're justifiably suspicious about this kind of attention.
Now we're around Wentworth Street
The cops were chasing someone down the alley
A quick look down a residential side street
Another sidestreet
Sherman Ave.
Now we're entering a
Polish area, just east of Sherman Ave.
Still going...
The buildings aren't quite as old now as we approach Ottawa Street
We finally reach Ottawa Street
The Centre Mall occupies the north side of the street, I didn't take many pictures of this, I trust you've all seen a mall before
At Kenilworth Ave.
I'm really tired of walking now so I'll end it...thanks if you've made it this far.
