Hamilton

Believe it or not this week was my first trip to Hamilton. I'm from Kitchener which isn't too far away- I just never needed to come here before. I hate the expressway so I charted out a country route to take in. Not bad but way too long. All was well until I actually got into Hamilton. My map said to stay on some street with a C until i found myself turning onto Main which was wrong. Turned around and went the opposite way. After driving too far I realized I was on the wrong street again. The cutoff that said Main was closed and I headed back around again. Took three different streets before finally asking a gas station attendant. Made to the destination only to find out I'd have to cross five lanes of traffic to get back out and the route I'd mapped was a one way. WTF???? Why is every street in Hamilton a one way? You have to drive like fifteen minutes to get back to the same spot! And the smell? What is with the smell of this city? Like garbage and crap. You can't even roll the windows down without nearly passing out. After web u and some shopping and I plan on NOT coming back to this dirt town!

I had similar problem with the one way streets and sharp turns crossing 17 lanes!
