My Hamilton, New Zealand entry (A17525540) got a mention in Hamilton's newspaper, the Waikato Times, a few years ago:

~~Tough Review

BBC-backed "encyclopaedia" website h2g2 has the following unflattering descriptions of Hamilton: "Hamilton can be a dangerous town or a quiet town, depending on the places you frequent. Boy racers are a constant problem and there are areas where it would not be wise to leave your pit-bull unattended. The drug culture is rife. Party pills are popular. The claim to contain only herbal ingredients and are legal, but they are definitely not Vitamin C and it would be wise to stay away from them as you would any other drug." More great tourism info on our fair city next week.~~
