2021 now and its so weird not seeing that old hospital there anymore. My dad was the engineer in there for years when I was a kid. Both my parents passed away in that hospital back in 2006 and 2008. I can remember the pile of rubble when they started tearing it down 😢
Thats my hometown, i grew up there in the 80s. And not much has changed since then on that particular route you took since before i left. I know down by teh mall and stuff has been developed a bit more with like Walmart and shit. But ya, looks pretty much like the town that time forgot really. I might be coming up this summer for my 30yr reunion though
Thanks man, this is the town where i grew up. Things have certainly changed quite a bit since the last time i was there, about 10yrs ago was my last visit there. Ya its a gloomy looking place in the winter. But Frozen John is the best
Yeah man, I've been here most of my life, almost 12 years now, and things are changing up here at light speed, especially with the Site C Dam & all the ppl moving here. It won't be boring much longer lol.
Ya i am old, i grew up there in the 80s, things were pretty rough back in teh day. My mom went up there last summer and said its grown a ton since they moved away (they stayed longer then i did and moved away about 10yrs ago). Pretty awesome place. Cant say i am to stoked on the Site C. Im glad its making work, dont get me wrong. But the landscape will never be the same and i wil miss that. Should make some videos down by the river maybe. Like Alwin Holland park down by Hudson Hope, or even just Peace Isl Park. Things will never be the same
+Best Timeline Covers Yeah, I've noticed the same about Dawson Creek, which is my hometown. I've been in FSJ for about 12 years so far. With everything changing up here so much, I want to be here to witness it all, before I hopefully get to move away to Vancouver one day. I'll see if I can take some videos in those areas, but I don't travel far in the winter lol.
That would be a question for the business owners, but pretty sure it has a lot to do with the high cost of paving. Some places where the lots are overly big for one business, at one time I think there were more than one building but eventually were torn down.
Jesus that is one depressing looking village... It looks like the town that color forgot. Is everything covered in a layer of grey dust? I feel really sad just looking at it...
I can't imagine some of these northern bc towns looking any less gloomy during the summer if we're going to be completely honest I think it's the infrastructure and how bare and flat everything looks
downtown from what i understand is a bit more developed. I grew up there in the 80s, and the route he took in this video, hardly anything has changed in the uptown route he took there since before i left. It is a pretty nice little town. This route just happens to be one of the oldest parts of town
It's gets better with time, once you figure things out. Summer is definitely more interesting, as there's more to do outdoors and you can leave town easier and travel around the region.

I live here! You started driving near my school :0
Oh hi Evan
When it was maxs... I remember that.
I just joined cadets in FSJ and yes I love FSJ I recognize every bit of what he showed I live in the country with 160 acres
Does anybody knows the name of the song ? i love cities like this...............WISH I COULD VISIT ONE DAY.
Luiz Oliveira Come visit us anytime (once the pandemic is over of course) 😎

Right on man, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you come back. A lot has changed in just a short time, even in just the last 2-3 years.
Yeah I agree, there's way more to FSJ than what this video showed............
@@CrownVictoria666 yea...maybe they don't beat you up anymore if you have long hair.

Ya cool man i understand. And Vancouver was the first place i went to when i left there.
i live there!!
Les Brown lol
She's changed since this was filmed. Always will be. FSJ has history, check it out.✌️
what's up with the dirt parking lots
That would be a question for the business owners, but pretty sure it has a lot to do with the high cost of paving. Some places where the lots are overly big for one business, at one time I think there were more than one building but eventually were torn down.
Looks as bad or worse than it did when I left there 35 years ago!
canuck in the US local what are you talking about it’s a amazing place so much to do

haha well it was a particularly overcast day, & I think it was still fairly cold out.
It's normally very sunny here in the summer.

Hope so... But damn does it look depressing.
I approved your highly negative comments out of reasons of transparency, not necessarily from agreement.

Claire 9006 haha you live here?
Justin Hendrick oh yes :(
