Raise the Hammer
this blog entry has been updated
Hamilton is like the evangelical teenager who takes an abstinence pledge with the best of intentions, only to stumble into an awkward unprotected sexual encounter a few weeks later in a moment of weakness.
Our latest cavalier is Tim Horton's, a love-em-and-leave-em suitor more interested in scoring quickies than building a lasting relationship. Tim's insisted on having its way with Hamilton at a proposed new location in downtown Binbrook, and The City With Low Self-Esteem gave in and accepted Tim's conditions.
Whereas a more confident, self-respecting city might just say no to a relationship that compromises its principles, Hamilton never met a compromise to which it couldn't hold its nose and acquiesce.
Meanwhile, after Tim's closed a non-drive-thru enabled location at the corner of Aberdeen Ave and Dundurn St, that location opened up to a new 32-unit urban condo development that will include solar panels, bike parking and a car-sharing program.
But hey, I guess a Tim Horton's drive-thru is better than another lonely night at home.
Update: added Street View for Aberdeen and Dundurn. Now where's my "Awesome Badge"?

I mentioned this already in my comment about the Pan Am Stadium.............. Imagine a drive through at King and James - That is exactly what it's going to do at an important corner in the "village".
so much for the secondary plan and design guidelines.... why bother?

+1 for use of Cavalier. "Awesome Badge" if you link "Aberdeen Ave and Dundurn St" to Google Streetview.

I vote for a picture of you wearing this at the top of the site. Just like another local site, but awesomer.
