You Might Be From Hamilton If…
Publisher: MacIntyre Purcell Publishing Inc.$19.95The Hammer. The Ambitious City. Steel town.
Canada’s tenth largest city, Hamilton, Ontario, has been called a lot of things. But Hamiltonians, near and far, know they can always come home to a place that has a rich history–and a lot of amusing stories only locals would know.
In comes Graeme MacKay, the editorial cartoonist for the Hamilton Spectator. As a Hamiltonian born and bred, he knows this city’s quirks, its characters and its love affair with being the underdog to Toronto’s “Centre of the Universe” mentality. With more than 120 cartoons, MacKay illustrates what so many people have come to love (and perhaps cringe a little) about this port city.
Founding father, George Hamilton, would be proud.

Miss Nackawic Meets Midlife

Despite more than three decades of unanswered requests for information about the pageant, Miss Nackawic 1981 refuses to give up hope that there is life after picking up soggy towels, burning Thanksgiving turkeys, and trying to make her menfolk understand that throw cushions are never to be touched.
