Its Alright Ma, Barton St E
Its Alright Ma, Barton St E

Another image for my ongoing project capturing Barton Street East in Hamilton, Ontario. This is one of the buildings I assume are becoming victims of gentirification in the area. The It’s Alright Ma is a record store located at 338 Barton Street East but a search on google indicates it is now permanently closed. Loved the red and black colour scheme. - JW
