- The famous "Portrait of a City" from the 1940's about the emerging city of Hamilton.
We've edited it to identify the historic buildings and areas.

They got surprisingly good video for 1669.
"Total absence of slum districts" lol. But damn seeing those homes look completely new and with neatly trimmed gardens is interesting.
Lived in Hamilton Ontario for almost 40 years, love this city
Films from this period had a positive attitude. They were inspiring.
reeks of brainwash and control
Miss my Hometown of Hamilton, Ontario!!!
This is amazing.
love your vlogs
Arthur C Andrews Thanks!

At minute 6:04 that house is next to the cemetery gates in Grimsby.
Good I man I grew up there born in Hamilton played in Grimsby lol
1:52 is Syndenham Road Lookout Point over Cootes Paradise
it's actually on the bridge over the sherman cut on mountain park avenue. they recently replaced the old metal guard rail and put historic plaques up
Look how clean everything is... Oh my god
Most of the buildings are gone. The down town thar was once a hub is a shit hole. Thus video us way before my time, but still looks different. The people are gone too. It's a shame
5:58: "No idea! Internet, please help"
The Wentworth Arms Hotel on the SW corner of Hughson & Main
This is obviously a promotional film, so it shows the nice parts of the city, or a least when they still looked nice. also describes everything about the city in glowing terms
The Hamilton Pier got torn up last year, to be replaced with something else. The water definitely does not have a light blue color, as shown in this film excerpt. "Ugly", dark and possibly polluted looking best describes it.
There is almost a comedic twist to this . Staging the scenes.
At an estimated 31% "real Unemployment" ( not the 7 or 8% advertised ) Hamilton ranks as the most under-utilized City in all Ontario. The only way to cure it have everyone work at Home, making food, sandwiches and emergency meals for Shelters. The Spectator did an article saying productive farm land has been ruined by Urban blight and suburbs. An estimated 300 high rise Apartments housing 1,000 people each will be needed in the next 10+ years. Just nuts! Every housing project in my survey, in the last 5 years had more than 5 [x10] new town housing projects; each of those homes sold for $380,000 and up. That's 20 Million dollars in real estate, within just a couple of blocks.
This was true, growingup in the 50's 60's and 70's. It was the malls that destroyed the downtown core.
Limeridge definitely didn't help this.
3:12 He looks more like Sam Lawrence to me.
The quality of the film was good for the time and makes Hamilton look very attractive
great.
the furnaces don't glow anymore i think. pretty sure most of the industry left.

What happened to us 😭
I've lived here my whole life and I'm 65 now. I don't ever remember an elaborate "slum free" city. That is 100% b.s. Guess they were using propaganda back in the 40's to sell the city.
WTF happened Steel Town??
Slum free 1946- now almost 100% ndp full slum 2021
lol, no slums
Hamilton still has no slums.
Anyone complaing Hamilton has slums has never set foot in a 3rd world country. This is coming from someone who’s a Filipino immigrant in Hamilton. There are poor income folks in Barton yes, but the poverty isnt comparable to Manila’s
So - tell me, where are the drug addicts, crime, waste and morose attitudes - ?
in the slammer where they belong👏👏👏
Some of the video was good but most of it wasn't.
but yet it remains the armpit of Ontario
Jack Mack um Toronto??
