A FEW CLOSE CALLS !AND SOME DANGEROUS CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES AND SHORT CUTS WERE TAKEN

Not one, no farmers , no food sign on any car doors.

150000 people in the town of mississauga. Woah

Had no idea that those big apartment buildings near Trafalgar and QEW in Oakville were there way back in 1973! They must have been basically brand-new back around then.

I was born in Dec '73. This is cool to watch! 😊

Ahhh the Quick and Easy Way, when it was...

WHERE ARE ALL THE PORSCHES? That's what I'd be asking because, well you see, I was almost born in a Porsche Carrera Speedster that my father wrench turned on in Oakville for race driver, Klaus Bartels. It may have been one of the first Porsches in Canada actually. But during the sixties as a big fan of the marque, I often wondered why I rarely saw a Porsche on the roads around the GTA. Today they seem to be EVERYWHERE! 911s, 718s, Panameras, Taycans, Cayennes, Macans... and no, I do not own a single one but it's so cool to see so many around! P.S. I may soon have a new YouYube channel dedicated to my Porsche archive. Thanks for viewing!

I used to drive that way often. I livedin Oakville in the early 70's. Thank you so much for posting this!

Where are all the Pakistanis?

A 65 Impala with a hood scoop! Some of the stretches haven't really changed much, others you can't recognize.

Oh man, this was before I was even born... what I wouldn't give to just go back and live there

I was 10 yrs old during this film. I would have been playing at the Arcade in the old Oak Queen mall, on the right, just before Trafalgar Rd. exit.

My question is : what are the big building at Clarkson/Oakville at the mouth or rather the entrance from Avonhead? It bothers me as I recently discovered this area ? the complex is dusty looking sometimes the smoke from the chimney...Asked many people and could not get the answer. I live in Toronto ,Sir. RSVP. Thanks for you archival material!

Look how empty those service road areas are. Man all that land!

Definitely the best entrance ever. Thanks Mark! I was not sure of the exact date, but I searched this episode for years on TH-cam, I gave it a rest, and alas!

Im interested in buying

What year was the pool room picture taken with what I am assuming Karen’s Disney collection on top shelf?

Great showcase of this amazing box set! Enjoyed your stories as well. How amazing you were in the Carpenter circle. Thank you!

i thought she had a cold on a song for you album. i thought solitaire was her best vocal ever, or ave maria from their last concert in 1978, if you can find it, it was insane

Awesome.....can you do a video of all Fan Club memorabelia you have.....I was too late to join the fanclub but remember getting a paper showing what they had left for memorabelia...

HOLY F**K AMAZING FOOTAGE!!!!

Wow so cool!! Thanks for uploading this!!

OOPS! 'Old Fashioned Christmas' was released in 1984, not 1985... Did #karencarpenter Needlepoint or Cross Stitch? Strangely, I forgot the song 'Yesterday Once More' when I spoke about the 'Now & Then' album (brainfart). Didn't mean to imply that the Carps participated in the 'We Are The World' recording. The hummingbird was fine. Next #carpenters related video I create will hopefully be a little more exciting than this one, lol. Hint: Packaging the Carps promo videos in the mid 1980s. Thanks for viewing.

Working in broadcast radio in the early to late 1970's, we received a note included with a Carpenters promo 45 indicating that we were not to say "the" Carpenters but just Carpenters. I remember atleast one 45 which had "The Carpenters" on it and the "The" was crossed out. Unfortunately, Carpenters singles version almost never made it to LP's or other album formats. In addition, the 45 rpm A&M "Forget Me Not" series 45's weren't always the original singles versions either. Maybe the only collection which had the actual 45 rpm versions on it was the CD set made for Public Television and given away if you made a large enough pledge from the Carpenters documentary when it was shown on Public TV. Because the original master tape for the single version of "Ticket To Ride" couldn't be located they instead actually used an original mono 45 rpm record. Speaking of 45 rpm singles, the promo versions sent to radio stations mostly had totally unique version on them. Many had exclusive mono mixes on them and the stereo versions employed the CSG-Haeco mono/stereo compatible format. I kind of liked the sound of them. I think that the only Carpenters single that was sent to stores which employed the the CSG-Haeco format was the original release of "Merry Christmas, Darling/ Mr. Guder". Later releases were re-recorded and in regular stereo. I have most of the A&M Carpenters promo 45's and regular commercial 45's. When I listen to Carpenters, the 45's are my prefered source.

There were barns off of the QEW before Royal Windsor Drive

Yep!! Same lol

I was 2 years old ..did not move to Meadowvale till 82' And on my own in Clarkson till 93' Meadowvale - 82 to 87 was some really good fun for kids then ..so many things to do And clean trouble (pool hopping at 1am) (BMX riding in underground parking)

I remember that, didn't he have shotgun pellets in his teeth too

2:03 Great historic pieces of news clippings and photographs. Would love to get your scans of the articles for the Hollywood Sign Trust archive. Let me know it it might be possible. Thx

Would love to see this!!

This is great idea!!

Great video! So many fond memories of old Clarkson/Oakville. The car appears to be 67-68 Cougar (I think).

I still live here!

Where to get the t shirt “I helped Hollywood”??

Bruce Willis is a nut! Just as it should be!

"Brazil copaiba oil" miraculous for the brain.

I grew up on barsuda drive in the complex. Fireworks on on may 24 and Canada Day have been a tradition for years. Glad to see it’s still a thing ❤

Drive around there frequently.

I wish I could jump in to the screen this is magic.

Ahhhhh the good old days before this pretty landscape was ruined by the hideous over-development of ghastly subdivisions and monstrous warehouses.👏🏼😃

Happy 100th Anniversary to The Hollywood Sign!

this is wild

Good 🥰👌👍🙏🙏🙏

Awesome vid, thanks for posting :) I love seeing and hearing people's experiences of Mississauga from different decades.

There’s been a lot of progress from this video and the second update, I think you’re almost due for another from all the work that’s been going on 😮
