      Second that! Remember east end downtown? It had the anchor stores of Hudson's & Brass Rail. How many times has city planners kicked that can down the road? The curvey main drag was a terrible experiment! To me an unsafe & unpleasant shopping experience, let alone forced to pay for city parking.

    Moved to here in 2010, bought the house for cash, can't do that in Toronto. London is an interesting mix of housing, lost a lot of industry by 2012, slowly recovering from the recession but not bad to retire here. Trust you noted the roads, slightly cratered. London owned it's own railway till 1965, now CN. Can still take a ride electronically on the London and Port Stanley, there's a lesson in change.

    Interesting concept to making a before & now vid. Curious though, you born, raised & schooled here? Here's a bit of a tease, I visualized myself being you & being very familiar with streets & locations. Use to visit the Value-Mart, Wortley Roadhouse across the street & the TD Bank on the Village and travel thru Horton/Hamilton Rd. with COPPS & Burks Flowers on the right side. Tks for the past & current memories... remembered it all! I've added your album to my Spotify account. Cheers from sunny Florida.

      @@MarkFavro sure no problem. Frankly no idea. I have made no intentional recommendations on utube. Only on Google to look at print news w/ LFP & read up on local news such as the obituary. Since Google owns utube their algorithms may be somewhat detailed & linked. I get all sorts of good/abhorrent suggestions, watch a few & they take the bait whether it's true/fake data. It's good you are getting the eyeball hits, even better with the thumbs up. To be continued..

    • @miszced
      @miszced 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Utube can be a money maker BUT it can be alot of work. Your subs are low if you have a marketable theme it can sell! My only suggestion at your level is to view similar vids & take some pointers. If it's any interest I can list what I watch if it helps in a future post. The subs range from some 50K to 12M. But thanks for designing your '82 to '20 vid. Maybe a vid on the bike paths going to Springbank Park, up around UWO etc.
