Hamilton has an amazing newspaper history with a golden age of rivalry from the late 1800s through the early decades of the 1900s where three major dailies competed. Here is a song about a fictional newsboy from that period. bit.ly/2UyK3nV

Nice tribute Mark McNeil in today’s Hamilton Spectator for longtime #HamOnt Councillor Bill McCulloch. Bill leaves a great legacy in many historic buildings he fought to save. He was a kind man with a wicked sense of humour & dedicated public servant. Bill will be missed placeholder.

Great article today in Hamilton Spectator by Mark McNeil re: the parallels between Dr. Arnold's (Donald M. Arnold) current work with COVID-19 and another Hamilton doctor's work with Spanish flu patients in 1918. An interesting read about medicine & history: thespec.com/news/hamilton-…
