I think that he means the tore down buildings/shabby downtown as the claim to fame. I know the joke with my Brantford friends before was that Silent Hill was filmed there and they didn't have to do anything to make it seem desolate downtown.

I used to live in Brantford and I like the downtown area. As noted there is awesome housing stock. The ad agency I used to work at was located right where Dalhousie ends on Brant Ave in a wicked old house.
