street signs - Upper Paradise

On Hamilton Mountain is the delightfully named 

Upper Paradise Road

unfortunately, it is not as paradisiacal as it sounds

it is a main thoroughfare and is a mix of commercial, retail and residential

at the furthest south end the homes become quite opulent

although for the most part the homes are more modest

and at the other end, where Upper Paradise begins

is the first house

with a lookout over the lower city

Upper Paradise Road got its name from its alignment with Paradise Road in the lower city, which got its name from  its end point at Cootes Paradise (a wetland in the Royal Botanical Gardens).
