Main Street Ontario: Hamilton 

Corsini’s was more than just a grocery store when it set up shop in 1928 on James Street North in #Hamilton. It was a place where Italian immigrants found what they needed to make a new home. The once-bustling strip was later hit hard by the recession, but is now a creative hub for newcomers of another sort who have given it a new lease on life.
