I only make fun because I lived there for five years and feel about Hamilton the way one would about a little sibling - one feels like one has the right to pick on him/her but really feels a lot of affection for said sibling as well.

I usually cough the answer when people ask me where I live but since I've been doing my blog, I've found some really cool places to take pictures and I realized that Hamilton is much nicer than I ever gave it credit for. Cute thrifted dress! So many people standing up for Hamilton!

I also feel I need to come to Hamilton's defence (yes, that's the Canadian spelling :). After living there for two years, I think Hamilton has an undeservedly bad reputation for a place with such a convenient and absolutely gorgeous location (100+ waterfalls in the surrounding Niagara Escarpment, beautiful countryside), affordable living options in nice neighbourhoods, diverse arts and music scene, and extremely friendly people. I'm definitely very sorry to have left it. Great colour combo, S., and I love Erika’s maxi skirt with the strappy sandals.

The people are fabulous and that great historic road (can't remember the name, Front St maybe?) of bars was so much fun! Anyway, Hamilton is where I realized how much I love canada and it's people! Wierd huh? :) You’re right, Hamilton, ON is not very pretty, but I have loved every minute of my 3 business trips there in the last few years.
