A PIECE OF HAMILTON HISTORY

For my Blog Assignment in the Creative Content Class, I decided to stroll down to the Tim Hortons located at 65 Ottawa Street North. What's interesting about this Tim Hortons restaurant is that it's dedicated to the very first Tim Hortons location that opened in 1964 on Ottawa Street.

The restaurant has a museum section outlining the history of the franchise and how it has changed over the 59-year history that the franchise has been around. Tim Hortons was founded by former 24-year NHL veteran Tim Horton. He played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Buffalo Sabres, and the New York Rangers.

I chose this location for this project because I have fond memories of going to Tim Hortons locations across Canada. I grew up going to Tim Hortons for a break during long trips with my family. Going to Tim Hortons was a major part of my childhood, and I continue to enjoy Tim Hortons coffee to this day.

I am a big Maple Leafs fan, and I find it so interesting that such a major coffee chain began just a short drive from where I live. The Tim Hortons at 65 Ottawa Street is one of the historical landmarks and the pride of Hamilton.

The photo I chose is of a coffee cup with the old logo. It follows the rule of filling the frame—the main part of the cup in the photo completely fills the frame of the picture.
