Thank You SO MUCH, Dave!
The web site Lisa offered was fine, but I really wanted to hear things like what you've posted. I won't be retiring any time soon (not quite old enough yet), so I have to look at the employment picture... and I do have to consider schools... but from your description, it's sounds like I'm looking in the right area. From population reports, it looks like Hamilton is about the same size as the "city" I currently live near in the States. Does anyone have input as to the relative size of Hamilton City? Something I might compare it to?
Thanks again!
Brian
