The Asian lady who works at AT Barber & Hairstylist is great and it's only $12 I have been going there for years.
Used to live at Sherbourn and Dundas. Across the street from Sams, on the 21 floor. Sure the neighbourhood was sketchy, but where else in downtown could you get a one bedroom with a parking space for 1065 per month...I loved Toronto.
cam'ron the rapper visited that place in the 90s and took a picture lol
keep it coming man! this content is excellent... this account is going to blow
you caught it on a good day
Back in the day in the late 90’s when I would visit family in Toronto from New York…I used to party in an old loft on Shuter Street. Wild times. Around the Dj booth they had bullet casings they found in the park. You def get LES vibes around there
Wow😮
This area used to be nice and clean. Unfortunately, it got worse over the years.
Oh you mean the day after it was first opened in the 1960's? Yeah, back then for that day it was.
Your joking right?
I believe a fair number of convicts are released and end up in this area. Guys who likely left jail clean, and wind up here of all places.
If you want to see a contrast in lifestyles, stay on Sherbourne until South Drive, just north of Bloor, and try any direction for a look at one of Canada's richest neighbourhoods.
duuuude ive been there years ago it looked way more fucked back in the early 2000s
The Maxwell Meighan center is actually a homeless shelter. I nearly got my head kicked in there while leaving after breakfast one morning for not allowing some guy to pass me. It was pretty intese. I got body slammed against the wall and had an arm on my throat with the other arm raised with a fist to start hitting, 8before two staff pulled the guy off. A cowardly attack from behind to try and establish authority on someone new.
@@TurfToursCanada I blame low social assistance rates. You can't live a decent life on $5000 a year on welfare and $13,000 a year on disability.
@@TurfToursCanada On the federal level yes. But As Doug Ford once quipped off camera "If they would just get out of their wheelchairs and crawl into work, we wouldn't have to pay them for faking it" The attitude among the government is that there should be no social safety net since most people are just lazy and don't want to work. Until that basic viewpoint changes there will never be any progress towards a real social support system.
@@TurfToursCanada Do you think any of those people have the education, skills and ability to speak English well enough to hold a job other than basic physical labour at below minimum wage? Now add mental health issues and drug addiction into the mix and let's see what the numbers come out to. I know that at a local McDonald's they tried to employ a schizophrenic gentleman until they discovered he kept hoarding knives? They managed to resolve the situation without incident, and he is now in a treatment program. Another person who was massively overweight couldn't maneuver in the kitchen because the aisles were too narrow. While I would honestly say 10% or the people are capable of being retrained to work in minimum wage jobs Many have non-visible issues that prevent them from being reliably employed on an ongoing basis.
@@TurfToursCanada Remember is that 1. That they money they are given gets spent in stores, and on goods and services that enrich other people. ADN 2. half those people wouldn't be in that state if they got help and support to keep their apartments or live with their disability years and decades ago. Now their mental health is so damaged I wouldn't want them working for me. I was in a commercial kitchen at a restaurant, and we had a person who had recently been hired of the streets. he kept talking about knives and then out of nowhere he just threw it and narrowly missed hitting one of the staff. He was perfectly normal to talk to the rest of the time. I just didn't realize what I was looking at. He was doing vegetable prep and was quite good at it. When asked about the knife being thrown he said it told him tat the knife was not for him and he should get rid of it.! There are a lot of people who should just be given enough money to live quietly and be able to get the treatment they need. Not everyone has to be productive.
THe community center across the street from the dollar store is the oldest community center in all of Toronto. There was a big plan to redevelop the whole park but it fell through when the benefactor withdrew the funding after NIMBY's complained about losing the tennis courts.
I lived there for 9 years it’s horrible and you say it’s not that bad 💀 someone tried to break in to are apartment for no reason
I clearly stated that it is one of the highest crime neighborhoods in Canada and that I do not know what life on the inside of the buildings is like. I said the neighborhood seems to be clean and functional and that really bad in Canada is average in other nations. You didn't listen at all.
Those apartments are rat holes
