This brings back memories of places id almost forgotten, i live in Manchester uk but spent a few years in Markham, i saw the pizza hut on the right across from the shopping mall . I worked at the pizza hut and got fired for smoking in the walk in fridge and scoffing chicken. I also worked at a garden nursey that grew and sold plants and trees. Wish i never left.
I remember this November 1988 in the GTA at that i was only in Canada for 3 months and i arrived from the US because i have lived there 9 years prior before moving, went to high school, college and work in the states, and moved to Canada and work to went to university as well, i remember driving in the border in my 1987 Nissan Sentra from Washington DC, Toronto was different back then and how would think that it has been 30 years since 1988.
So, I was wondering if you happen to have footage of the railway crossings on Lakeshore Blvd, Strachan Ave, Carlaw Ave, Pottery Rd, Kennedy Rd, Cherry St & Old Weston Rd?
Do you happen to have footage of the old HWY 69 CN at-grade railway crossing south of Sudbury from the early 90s including some railway crossings in all across Ontario from the early 90s?
Nice footage! I just wanted to ask you that you don’t happen to have any old footage of driving through in Hamilton on Highway 403 around the 1990’s, do you?
You can still see the old Mennonite barn at 8:22 at Langstaff Road, it was a shame they pulled it down it hand hundred year old wooden beams in it, they should have preserved that
5:36 Report about a computer virus, six or seven years before the internet really became a thing. You must have had to work hard to pull that off back in those days. :D

At 1:140 , that was me in my 1987 Mustang Gt ….. funny as hell , I’m 99.9999999% certain that was me
Did you remember the idiot that rode your tail there and had to step on the brakes only to get into the right lane? 😅😅
God, Hwy 7 at a level crossing with Yonge Street. I'd completely forgotten that. Unbelievable.
You missed Tommys Burgers just before you turned down Markham road , that was the best spot In Markham forever!
Wow what trip down memory lane ty!
Back when Main Street Unionville was Kennedy Rd, and the now Kennedy Rd was the Unionville By-pass.

Wish I could’ve seen the number on the Sears truck I would’ve known the driver. Brilliant memory shaker👍
Great video thanks. Love watching old footage of the GTA. Love the gas price, 41.9 cents.
I remember those drives as a kid and I would see farms.

Back when Markham was good.

Sorry, no, but I did get some construction footage of it in Port Severn in 1994 I could upload. Not the best quality though.
Do you happen to have some more highway footage with some railway crossings at grade?
I wonder if you have a video of Highway 400 from Toronto to Vaughan from the early 1990's
There used to be an airport by Canada's Wonderland
Do u have footage of Bathurst street in the 1990's?
Nice footage! I just wanted to ask you that you don’t happen to have any old footage of driving through in Hamilton on Highway 403 around the 1990’s, do you?
Hamilton, no
That Kfc is still there
And I'm still working there.

I can see most people didn't care to use their signal back then either...
When people made $5/hr and were still able to afford a house
Yah, I think a mortgage in 1988 was about 14% per annum.
Crazy stuff.
Do you own this video? I would love permission to use 19 seconds of it in a documentary film I'm directing if that would be possible.
Go ahead!

Good observation! I left the audio in for that because I was hoping someone would notice.
listening to the news on the radio talking about computer viruses was very interesting.
HA! I didn't mute the radio talk portions because I knew some watching would find 1988 news and ads interesting!
I remember when those were all dirt roads.
Do you videos of highway 50 and highway 7?
Sorry, no. But this one gets close to it in the beginning.
Shell gas Station 47.5 per Ltr WOW
Wanted to watch this to see what my parents seen when they first landed in this country
Before the Indians invaded
Especially that rural area at the beginning. Its ghetto there now.
@@ALuimesits called knightsbridge. Def the “ brampton “ hood haha
i grew up in Aurora. It's definitely different now.
Back when Canada was actually Canada.
3:10 lot of accidents happen in that dip. See a few
Early dashcam.
This is insane. Highway 48/markham road looks nothing like this now. Super developped with appartments
Markham Village hasn't changed that much actually. North and south of it sure has though.
When lndia was still in lndia !
Driving a Pontiac
41 cent gas !!@
Brampton is Dump know and was back than to
Isn't wonderful to make this drive without any BMW drivers trying to sticky beak their way into your spot?

Because you'll be moving there soon.
