BartonStreetArena, also known as the Hamilton Forum, was the main sports arena located in downtown Hamilton, Ontario Canada, on BartonStreet between Sanford Street and Wentworth Street.
The north side of the arena (the BartonStreet side) housed the coat-check and the ladies' washroom.
Within the city, the HSR or Hamilton Street Railway offers good service in the lower city (especially on east-west routes), reduced service on the Mountain and skeletal service outside the old city of Hamilton (except for Dundas, which is served about as well as the Mountain).
Great grid streets on the Mountain bear the name of their lower city counterparts with the prefix "Upper" except for Garth Street, which would be Upper Dundurn Street if the pattern held.
They are usually one way streets in opposite directions, so they are best conceptualized as a single very wide boulevard and are envied by other Ontario cities for their usually efficient flow of traffic.
