Your Hamilton suspect is probably shoeless, right?
Good morning from the Hammer — steel town, art town, your town. Don't look away.
So, listen, I'm from the Mountain, right? And I've seen some things happen down in the lower city. But a suspect fleeing a crash, then another crash into a *house*, and then the OPP saying this guy might be running around without shoes? That's a Barton Street special, plain and simple. Imagine trying to explain that to your *baba* over a plate of *ćevapi*.
### What This Means for Hamilton
This isn't just a funny story about some guy losing his shoes. It's a reminder of what kind of wild stuff happens here, right? We're a city with a lot of grit, and sometimes that grit shows up in unexpected ways.
* This happened on Highway 5, up near Millgrove, but it's the kind of story that immediately makes you think about some of the crazier moments we've seen down by the industrial corridor or over on the east end. * It's a testament to the fact that even with all the new galleries on James Street North and the fancy restaurants on Locke, Hamilton still keeps it real. * The fact that the police actually put out a detail like "may be without shoes" tells you they're just as bewildered as the rest of us, right?
Honestly, this just sounds like another Tuesday in Hamilton. You get the feeling this guy probably knew his way around the side streets off Highway 5, trying to make a quick getaway. Makes you wonder where he ditched those shoes, and if some poor resident woke up to find them on their lawn. Only in Hamilton, I swear.
