The sad thing about this area is that because of the prolonged and delayed construction of line 5, a lot of business have gone out of business due to low foot traffic. Only time will tell, if the community becomes revitalized after construction is complete. Covid has also compounded things.
Yah mon!
Yeah, the construction + virus has been a double whammy. I think the city needs to step up and officially recognize this area and put in some further measures to ensure it maintains its character and unique identity. It would be a shame to see a lot of the locally run businesses get replaced by generic chains.
Johnny Strides I really hope that they do. I use to frequent this area when I was younger with my family. It was always so vibrant and full of life. I’ve been living abroad for 5yrs or now and have been back in Toronto for about a month now. I took a walk through the area just the other day and it just seems so devastated. If the city had stuck to the original above ground transit plan, we wouldn’t have this mess today. The original transit city plan by David Miller would’ve transformed Toronto. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say 🤷🏾♂️.

That sad thing about this area is everything; it needs to change. I’m not sure what you’re seeing, but the amount gun violence is unsettling and these shops are not what the residents in the area want. Revitalization, gentrification, change... whatever you want to call it, this area needs it.
I am watching from Jamaica and i hope to visit there one day nice video brother thank you
You’ll love it here. A lot of Jamaicans and other Caribbean nationals live in Toronto’s West End feels like you’re back home.
@@JamaicaLefferts you are back home basically there are no white Canadians in that part of Toronto
Nice video Johnny.... glad you were able to see a little Caribbean flare on Eglinton; my fellow Jamaicans 😋😋😋
The night walks are probably my favorite, alongside evening bike rides
I never get tired of exploring this amazingly diverse city!
Much respect to you Johnny for showing us all sides of our city!
Other Jamaican enclaves in the World are:
TORONTO 🇨🇦
- Jane & Finch, North York
- Lil Jamaica, York
LONDON 🇬🇧
- Brixton, Lambeth
- Tottenham, Haringey
NEW YORK CITY 🇺🇸
- Flatbush, Brooklyn
-Jamaica, Queens
I grew up in South London Balham and Brixton and Ive lived in Jane & finch and Eglinton & Keele... Clearview Gully...Weston Rd.
Also Scarborough in Toronto
@@JTCFC1 💯💯💯💯
That construction mess still looks the same as when I left 7 years ago and moved out to Scarborough. I use to regular at that car wash by Alameda and the Popeyes by Oakwood. I remember watching the mini Caribbana a few years in a row by Spence's Bakery...wish I had tries the food from there.
Toronto Jamaica Street is also a beautiful street, keep moving forward, have a good weekend👍🌹💕
Thank you for showing us another area of Toronto!
At 12.22. Roti King. My sister used to own that place. Nice memories of our visits there.
Hi johnny bro thanks 4 another nice lovely walk....
I've tried most of the spots there. I still regularly hit raps. Used to go to a place called Mainshaw's which is now called "Entertainment Kitchen". Not sure if it's same owners and just changed the place up a bit. I've never seen that place Judy's, but I'm 100% going to check it out as I try every jerk chicken place in the city. (still haven't a very good one)
Its Unfair that the City of Toronto can recognize Chinatown and East Chinatown, Little Italy and Corsa Italia, Koreatown, Little Portugal BUT NOT Little Jamaica, Little India or Little Manila.
Thanks for titling your video as “Little Jamaica” 😊
I fully agree with that sentiment and made a similar point in the video. I thought Little India was recognized as the Gerard Street India Bazaar?
I wonder if there are specific regulations in order for an area to be recognized as such.
@@JohnnyStrides nah, Brampton
Thank you for sharing, I've enjoyed that video.
So Eglinton West (Toronto) historically similar to other Anglophone-Caribbean enclaves such as Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Flatbush (Brooklyn) and Brixton (London)?.
Nice one Johnny must be a good food too.
Mr strides you did your homework, nice bro
Yeah i do enjoy this video thank you bro
Lovely
Jamaican Crime is not considered crime in Canada. Canada is a safe country and there are many churches to pray. It is beautiful here but I miss my home of Jamaica.
This was another great video and I enjoyed it very much.
At 11:33, it looked and sounded like that lady was angry with the people pictured on the side of the bus stop.
I’m wondering if everyone is familiar with the LRT acronym, so would you consider clarifying that in your next live stream and what effect it’s going to have for the TTC riders if they ever finish it?
I agree that the city needs to recognize this community because that would potentially help preserve the cultural aspects and hopefully bring much needed tourism as well as improving the economy there.
At 25:43, I laughed when you said, immediately after mentioning the cemetery, “Maybe since it’s so dead in this area, I’ll just start moving a little quicker”.
LRT: Light Rail Transit.
Thanks for the feedback Vera. Sometimes I just assume things (like everyone knows what LRT means and you're right, I'm' sure many don't!).
Sadly, the construction ruined Jamaican foods and this area. I used to go to buy Jamaica foods all the time since the 90's. I miss those days. Now everything is gone because of that.
Construction - short term pain = long term gain
Toronto's subway system is non-existent compared to other cities of similar size. 2 lines is a joe. No more building new buses and streetcar lines. SUBWAYS are worth the cost.
Except it's kinda more like long term pain, possibly long term gain. I'm not even sure I would classify the Crosstown LRT as a subway.
Yeah, Mike Harris killed the original Eglinton West subway... now we're getting what's essentially underground streetcars? Given the spacing of the stops I wonder if there will be a surface route bus offered and if people are going to end up preferring that anyway lol
@@JohnnyStrides In a snow storm, the above-ground areas may be vulnerable to delays too.
Preach!
Another great video, you should do a free or affordable airbnb experience walking tour once COVID is over to get tourist back into the city. I swear you'd do a better job and be much cheaper then that Sightseeing Toronto
Bus that picks up tourists at Young and Dundas square.
Or you can do it yourself
nice video
LRT trains now running between Cedarville and the terminus to the west
The Longest construction....with the hole for subway filled by Mike Harris's change of mind in 1995- having this done twice the hardship with the LRT now taking so long.. Wonder how many businesses closed.
I always go to raps, but the place to the east of it at the 5:43 mark was shot up to shit last week. 6 people got hit.
I want to go there for the food
👍🌸
Something happened to the night lighting. It has become very dim, not just in Toronto. Actually, it is the same in Florida. When you run out of Toronto streets, come to Florida in the winter and make some videos of Miami.
That's probably a bi-product of less activity and less businesses open? I'd love to get down to Miami at some point!
Extinct in downtown on Toronto
For testing
🇯🇲🇯🇲🔔🔔🔔✌🔥🇯🇲
Like a korea's streets...
😚👌❤
Ya you are brave enough to walk that street. Min.38:14 you could of said hello that hottie but you kept it to yourself.You put the camera right in front of her man...she noticed and you were shy.☺️
I don't think walking this area requires being brave lol... also I'm not going to talk to a random girl on the street and especially not if I'm filming lol.
In case you haven't realized, small mom and pops store are becoming exst
Too many drunks and intoxicated people out between 12 and 2
It's really sad what's happening to this community. Lived here 35 yrs and man has it changed. City is just pushing out and tearing down the culture.
The city needs to do more to preserve the character of this area for sure... they could start by officially recognizing it as Little Jamaica...
