My family has two different family friends in Hamilton and they both live in huge homes in this area I believe. In fact, the 7th from the bottom is our very good friends house! This led me to believe Hamilton was largely a rich city when i was younger lol.

^The pic you are referring to has been moved to the Oak Park thread as of March 20, 2006.

Nice stuff! I've never been in Hamilton except passing through on a train many years ago, and seeing the photos in the forum threads has raised my opinion quite a lot.

Fantastic.

Enjoyable

You'll notice a few new pics above.

Nice area. Most homes look well maintained.

You have really opened my eyes to Hamilton.  It isn't the redneck haven I once thought it was.  I think Hamilton has great potential.  With all of these great city neighborhoods and pretty much being in the suburbs now, I think the place could go through the roof.  Also, I bet it is a great little city to live in.
