  • This video was taken with a video camera long before video stabilization was a thing in consumer cameras. My friend and I set up a tripod in the back of his truck, and drove through Oshawa, from the townline, to the shopping center and back to the Hospital. We made this in the mid eighties.

    this was really neat to watch as a 20 year old who was born and raised here, much looks the same but so different at the same time! thanks for sharing

    Weird seeing A&P in Teddys Plaza. Wow, what a trip back in time. Weird seeing buildings on corners that are vacant now. I lived in Oshawa from 1989-2012. I seen alot of changes in that time. I bet alot has changed since 2012. I kinda miss it. I lived and learned all my life lessons there. Great Video!

    I loved seeing all the old cars, trucks and vans.
    I lost count of how many Gremlins were on the road.😄
    I didn't grow up here, only been here since 2007.

    What an awesome video!! FYI, TH-cam has a video stabilization option that might work really well for this video. You might want to compare the results and see if it might be worth uploading a stabilized version.

    Cool video. It was taken the year before I started working downtown Oshawa. Some things are exactly the same and some are drastically different. Thank you for posting it!!

    I was a teenager back then when you filmed this, but I lived next door in Whitby. What's really striking is the easy flow of traffic compared to Oshawa now.

    WOW. Oshawa had changed dramatically in 37 years. Also, I love the older cars on the road. I was born in 87 so you may have inadvertently came across my parents 1982 Oldsmoblie Omega drifting about.

      They would have done better filming on a brighter day too.
      It's fascinating, but really dark. Colour would have improved it.
      Oshawa was great and much simpler then.

    OMG 😢😢 That is my late brother. Yes we lived 2 doors down from Harts, beside Jesons. Best time of my life in the 70s. I have lost everybody ,thank you and God bless you for this 😢. I went back to see if someone got my post or if it worked lol. Who are you? I know internet is crazy , don’t know how to send private message but you have really made me feel a lot better. It has been hard since my Mother’s and brothers passing so short time ago. God Bless Thank You.

    This cruise starts on the street. I was born on which is Belvedere. it drives right by 1125 which is at the corner of Labrador and Belvedere My House. then it drives bythe Mankies house and turns left just passed Mr. Starr‘s house who was a Magnavox dealer In the 70s. I wonder if Michael Mankies s father still has the 71 Chevelle I wonder. then it turns on highway 2 off I believe Eastlawn and goes west towards Grandview. this is beautiful.

      Glad you liked my 40 plus year old video. I remember a Meyer family living a couple houses down from the Harts. Little foggy on the details, but I think they moved, as I remember a pretty blonde girl moving in afterward. Jeff Virgin

      To be fair Angela, the camera was on a tripod in the bed of pick-up truck. I am sure we were talking, you just couldn't hear us, because we were in the cab of the truck.
