So I have done a LOT of research over the years of the city of hamilton, esp. the downtown core, and I consider myself a historian of sorts, so I wanted to share with you some of the videos that can teach you about our wonderful city as well.
It is my belief that if we are going to move forward as a city we have to be aware of our past, what existed, and where, and what happened to it, and why.
Most of the downtown core at some point or other burned down. We lost a lot of buildings that way, others were demolished to make way for urban renewal, and others simply collapsed due to neglect.
I have compiled a playlist of some of the more noteworthy videos which you can find here:

I will add more to the playlist as I deem them relevant as they continue to be made. Feel free to add any below I might have missed as well, and I will incorporate them into the playlist
