I found a photo looking down into the Beasley neighbourhood. Two downtown streets are pictured near the bottom of the photo (King William St. at right and James St. North at left). Behind the downtown blocks are the several blocks of parking lots, running through the centre of the photo and off to the right. Behind the parking lots is the neighbourhood seen in this tour. In the upper left you can see the bright orange Barton St. Jail.

This neighbourhood has improved over the past couple years, it's getting harder and harder to find gritty residential streets in Hamilton. Commercial streets are another story, tons of gritty commercial strips throughout the lower city.
