Raise the Hammer
You've probably already heard of this by now, but it's worth posting for posterity (no pun intended): the international arts magazine Blouin Artinfo has just published a list of 15 "hot new neighbourhoods you need to know" around the globe. The list includes hotspots in Hong Kong, Paris, London, New Delhi, and ... James Street North in Hamilton.
Noting the "grassroots-led cultural revitalization" and the monthly Art Crawl, the article credits James North with "bringing an arty edge to [Hamilton's] steel mills and smokestack-lined skyline.
Here is the full list of neighbourhoods:

Torontian with an interest in Hamilton here...
Curious to see you've listed Barton as an area of interest, care to explain? And do you mean Barton E or W of James? Aside from intersecting james n. it doesn't seem that desirable as it has few heritage buildings, a neglected streetscape and is home to a prison. Then again, perhaps google maps is out of date and my memory's wonky on the issue.

While I can appreciate what an "arty edge" might mean as a label for a neighbourhood, I think an equally appealing label for many including myself would be a "living edge" which could include art but also other aspects such as room for kids to play in local parks and fields etc.
