The Queenston Traffic Circle has been renamed in honour of the late Canadian Football Hall of Famer Tommy Grant.
“Tommy Grant obviously was a legend — not only for the CFL — but that of the east end of Hamilton,? Merulla said Tuesday.
“The naming is in honour of contribution not only to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (and) the CFL, but to the business enterprise in the east end of Hamilton.?
A very appropriate honour -- not the typical naming of a street in some new subdivision. Immediately adjacent to Tommy Grant Traffic Circle is not only the building which housed his neighbourhood variety store but also the motor hotel where many Tiger-Cats were put up when they joined the team an where Tommy and his teammates stayed together, after downtown fan rallies, before some of the biggest playoff games in club history.
Who is the former Tiger Cat who sold cars at Queenston Chev Olds after he retired? ... I though it was Tommy Grant but when reading this post I noticed he had a Variety Store in the area.
