- Another trip around Toronto neighborhoods, taking in the old compared to the new. #general_knowledge #beach #canada #history #nostalgia #ontario #queenstreet #toronto #ttc #beaches #seniors
I feel sometimes I was born too late. I love the character, the mystery, and the atmosphere of your photos. I live in the beaches but spend a lot of time walking the neighbourhoods of Toronto. Your photo essays are timeless!
Hi, Thank you for your comments. I live in the beaches too, at Willow and Queen. I think I recognize you from your picture, walking your dog everyday.
Thank you for this and all the other great videos you have made showing the Toronto that existed in the 20th Century. That's where I grew up and spent many happy years on those streets, with friends and family. It's a very enjoyable walk down memory lane.
Ah yes Memory Lane at Queen and Leslie, Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks again Neil for great videos. ❤😊.
Glad you like them!
Another wonderful video! I used to go to the Consumers Distributing in the plaza at Bayview and Eglinton with my mom. Would have been in the early ‘70s I think.
Thank you for the comment, I used to shop at Consumers Distributing myself, I loved that store.
I really appreciate the amount of work you do to make these nostalgia videos.
Looks like 2K subscribers in a few days!
Thank you, I really enjoy making these videos.
Great series. Always enjoy.
Thank you for watching.
That’s crazy. Yes Molly is my dog. Very popular around here. I’m also at Willow and Queen. You’ll see me and Molly sitting on the Willow side of our building with the ladies on most sunny afternoons
Thanks you all your efforts. I enjoy these very much. We don't do enough to preserve our historic buildings and 'facadism' is not enough.
Thank you I agree with your observations, not all change is for the good.
Very well done. Lived in the Beaches most of my life - in East York now - not far away. Enjoy looking at the "old days". Thanks.
thanks Neil great pics as usual❤
Your very welcome.
Thank you so much
My pleasure.
Great as per usual, still waiting for a video showcasing the old borough of York area.
Thank you I believe I will get there shortly, I know I have some old photos of that area.
Grew up on Runnymede and saw so many movies at the Runnymede theater and the Odeon Humber theater too. Miss them both dearly. 💔♥️
I think we all miss the stuff from our childhoods.
My Dad grew up,on Runnymede south of Annette in the,1920s . Great shot of Runnymede and Dundas in 1916. Totally different world in T-O back over a hundred years ago
@@DonaldBacon-l4x it was but now and again I do come across traces of the past.
these are wonderful videos. it would be great if you could leave the location/date info up just a little longer on each one as I often find myself rewinding to look for that again. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Thank you for watching, I have found that my new software does leave the information up for less time than my old software did, I will work on correcting that.
1956 Queens Quay East of Bay photo I can see the Canada Life Building with its Weather beacon on the top and The Royal York Hotel as well as the back of Union Station
Now a days you can only see across the street.
For some reason I always seem to tear up by the end of your videos.
I get the same sense when I am making these videos, that we are losing more than we gain.
At 6:15, the only old picture taken from Queen's Quay I've ever seen that didn't make the south-of-Esplanade zone look like a hideous wasteland. Actually a pretty picture!
Interesting to notice the water just inches from the roadway.
Re: Yonge at Scrivener Square: for those wondering, it's right by Summerhill.
It is very hard to find a picture of that area that doesn't look rough.
I went to school there from Kindergarten through Grade 3. When this picture was taken I was in Grade 1. Miss Dilman was the teacher.
I love hearing memories like this, and is the main reason, I post these photos.
The good old days haven't happened yet .
I agree, we are all making our good old days.
I don't know why people don't like Toronto. I hear that alot living 2 hrs drive north of the city since I left 27 years ago. Probably because they never lived there.
I could never figure that out either.
Toronto died in 1979.
Yes it seems to have, although I do come across some great old buildings still around.
@@NeilB.Arnold What killed neighbours was Sunday shopping , vacant houses , streets too small for the TTC, no Queen St east subway , and now a Portlands development which can further add congestions similar to the problems of New York in the 70 s.
