Excellent photos. You don't see that true city style grit in alot of Canadian cities. Good work.

Nice. We were better off during the industrial age I think, at least people could get jobs

and a college degree actually meant something and obviously there was no post-industrial blight

Nantais · #86 Posted **Nov 20, 2010, 10:58 AM**

Great Grit.

rockyi · #87 Posted **Nov 20, 2010, 4:52 PM**

The overcast, leaden skies make these photos even more compelling.
Nice work.

Yeah, and work for 12 hours a day for next to nothing in dangerously polluted cities, unless being part of the gentry able to afford college.

And I'm sure you've extensively toured both cities to form this opinion, right?

Anyway, great thread, even if I've seen these all before, never get tired of looking at gritty Hamilton.

That's the shit, right there.

I used to live in Detroit and by your pictures it looks very rough, Detroit is mostly empty lots or infilled wood frame condos now, that looks like people livng in extreme poverty.
btw if you don't want comments on your pics don't "revive" them.

Everyone has the right to comment and others have the right to rebut those comments.

Bedhead · #99 Posted **Nov 22, 2010, 10:22 AM**

Fantastic. Like a battered prize fighter who can still pack a punch.

This shot is amazing:

Powerful photos!

Folks living in near third-world squalor, every one with a satellite dish probably upwards of $40/month.

I'm not sure what that says about contemporary North American cultural values.
