I think the craftsmanship that went into the business signs back then makes todays signs look so cheap and sloppy

Nowadays almost everything is cheap and sloppy.I really... really wish I was born earlier then then the nineties.Hell I dont remember life without the internet.

Wow, thanks!

The roads and sidewalks looks worst in the late 60's than currently.

You're welcome! :cheers:

I love those old school circa 1950 GM tram buses that lingered into the '70s on city streets here in the US. And I love the working class look and feel of the city!

We have replica HSR buses based on those 60's HSR style....

I like the old scool livery.


Here's a shot from sometime in the 1960s:

Wow that photo is amazing. Keep em coming.

There's the old Birks building, which you can see the Birks clock. The Birks clock just got renovated and relocated to the newly renovated Farmers' Market, which officially opened today.

I was downtown Hamilton this week and can't believe the changes since I moved away (about 8 years ago). Those old bus pics are great.
