Thissss. But seriously, Limeridge Mall isn't all that bad. I'd also suggest Mapleview Mall if you're willing to travel to Burlington.

I really don't think there's going to be those kinds of stores in a suburban mall that caters to mainly middle class households. You'll need to go to the city for that kind of stuff.

wtf , hamilton is teh third biggest city in ontario hahahahah


and plus i have been to better malls in like small towns than limeridge

Yeah, but Hamilton is mainly a working/middle class city, so designer companies wouldn't make much money opening a store at Lime Ridge, it doesn't have anything to do with the size of the city, it has to do with who is more likely to shop there. You'd be more likely to find high end designer stores in Oakville.

Considering it closes before 6pm on weekdays, why would you? Unless you mean the general area, in which case I think you should stop spreading all this propaganda.

I work on Barton and Gage and need 2 buses to get home. I wait for a bus at Barton and Gage at 10pm and normally catch my transfer around 11pm.

It is NOT as horrible as everybody (you mostly in the last 2 posts I've seen by you ) makes it out to be. A general rule of thumb is to not go anywhere at night alone because unfortunately, SHIT HAPPENS. But it's not like people sit on the bench at the bus stop waiting to rape you, your wife, and your husband.

Furthermore, why is it just this ONE street? If you're so scared of getting raped, I would suggest not going ANYWHERE that isn't the Mac campus because even Westdale has robbers and flashers and shit. King and James is one street out of a hundred "sketchy" areas, stop picking on it.

I just meant the actual mall. Okay maybe never go there period, I can't remember what time in the evening I was there but it was a sketch as hell. Plus it didn't have anything good in it so there's no real reason to go there.

Downtown in general doesn't seem that sketchy overall. The weirdest thing I've seen down there was some homeless dude pull down his pants and show his ass off to me while I was in the car. It was more funny than anything.

I don't see what's so horrible about it. It's a convenient location, has a Sirens, another women's clothing store that I can't remember the name, a food court, a movie theater, Payless... Sure, it has a bunch of discount stores that I would never go in but it's definitely better than the Bowmanville "Mall" (Marlowe knows what I'm talking about >_<)

I saw an old woman with a big ass mustache in downtown hamilton , i never go to the downtown but since that day ive been scarred for life

It was creepy, that's all I'm saying.

That said anything is better than Brampton.

Welcome to every god damn class of mine.

I saw a guy peeing in a garbage can once.

Well, it wasn't really a can so much as it was one of those like...flap-garbages. I'd imagine it to have been somewhat uncomfortable.

Jackson Square's alright. I've lived in Hamilton my whole life and while it's definitely kind of boring these days (I remember it being much busier in the early-mid 90s, when I lived downtown), it's not sketchy. There are weird people around, but they're harmless for the most part. Best thing I've seen was a dude in a full gas mask.

If I wanted to shop I'd definitely go to Limeridge over it (and not just because I like like two minutes away), but as Lawley said, it's not completely useless.

The fountain area with the odd orange tint is really serene place to just sit and talk too.

Also, Jackson Square gets bonus points for being (as far as I know) the only place left in Hamilton to get full-size pretzels. I don't think I'll ever get sick of those things.
