Great place to live in the 70s and 80s. The decline started in the 90s.

I remember quite a different downtown growing up, the old movie theaters 'Tivoli,Century,Hyland and than the modern Odeon opened, the old Eatons with the Xmas display windows, Robinsons, the underground washrooms in Gore Park, the video game arcades, the list goes on

What a great trip back in time. I grew up in Hamilton in the 40s and 50s - caught a glimpse of my dad's store and some of my friends father's stores as well. It was way better before they demolished it all. Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately i didn't get to see any of it, as my first visit downtown, that area was being demolished. The death of downtown Hamilton.

Just came back from a downtown walk. Change is now gaining momentum.

Younger generations like me should be blaming the older generations for allowing this to happen to downtown Hamilton.

Thanks for sharing this video. I love old stuff, tradition and history preservation. The progressive agenda and modern life have been killing the history and trying to change it somehow. Looking over this video is easy to realize that our life is short. I miss the time I did not live and can only try to imagine how people used to live in Hamilton back those days. As a foreigner living in this city that I call home for now, it is refreshing to see how downtown was really nice. People were well dressed. Reading some book about Hamilton's history.
