yeah, i know what you mean. it does have that old automotive feel. and like studebaker it's gone--although they moved to the mountain instead of closing down. thanks for the comment--glad you keep coming back!
HMP was the original occupant of the building, I believe they started up around the early '50's. There is a plan to turn this building and the former showroom into condos. It's prime real estate, so it will probably happen.
Randy Steele September 13, 1961 - May 22, 2009. It's hard to capture a life in a few sentences, especially one that was lived as large as Randy's but here are a few highlights. In 1995 Randy started working at CH Television and went on to become one of the viewer's favourite reporters covering issues at Hamilton city hall and eventually producing his own segment "Steele's Town". In 2001 Randy was diagnosed with throat cancer. From 2003-2009 the cancer returned unrelentingly but with just as much force he fought back. In 2004, at the suggestion of a friend, Randy took up photography--it was the moment he went from being in front of a camera to being behind one. Randy took over 12,000 photos between 2004 and 2009. His love for his family, the cottage in Lurgan Beach, Kincardine, and the city of Hamilton are all captured with his passionate and artistic eye. Shannon, Carly, Keltie, Randi and I are very proud of Randy's photos and have chosen to share more of them with you. Enjoy!

Great shot.
I know somewhere in my family is a pic of the Studebaker plant my grandfather worked at. For some reason this reminds me of that.

Always happy to see views of my city. I'm not that far away but I don't get to hang out there any more.
Do you know whether HMP was the original occupant of the building? Are there any plans for a new occupant?
Cheers!

Much better turned into condos than knocked down and developed into a big, ugly condo building. Good to hear.
