I'm in Hamilton every week or so, and I have to ask: why?
;-)
The serious answer is because I have friends who live in an arc
between St. Catherines and the west edge of Toronto, and every
June since the early 80s, they've done a largish camping event
somewhere in the Hamilton area (Knight's Dunmark Park is where
it was 20 years ago, but that was turned into a golf course).
While these friends aren't into classic computers at all, it
does give me incentive to spend the gas to drive 7-8 hours
from central Ohio, and puts me in that area for quick
little
side trips (like to Jerome's house) every few years.

Ah, that explains it; although it's actually a very nice place aside
from the steel mills and smelters, Hamilton's not
really known as
a tourist hot spot.
If and when you do get up here again, I'd love to meet for a coffee
and say hi; haven't seen Jerome in many years either despite
being in the same city, but then I'm not a DECcie...
Looking forward...
