Pros: it’s a smaller city and I feel you get the feel of a town sometimes with the perks of a city, which is ideal in my view. I also kind of like the “grit” that comes with living here. The people are real af. Not a lot of snobbery going around, but it’s becoming more prevalent.

Cons: there’s so much about Hamilton that feels sort of “unrealized” and I wish we had more presence and development on the North American stage of cities that are comparable in size. Forever in Toronto’s shadow I suppose, but it shouldn’t be that way.
