This is awesome. I loved going up to vista 33 and then seeing the telephone showroom in the basement of the AGT building. Some great views of a greener downtown (Churchill Square with trees! And, the park next to Manulife!). I'm glad you held onto this tape.
Pretty fond memories of going up there. I took a lot of photographs there, back in the day. I even got to go there after hours and take photos. It was very cool looking at night. Great video.
Ah memories... just finished Grade 11 back then... one more year before starting UofA! Looking back the mid-80s seemed like such a simpler time. Move to Ontario almost 3 decades ago. Still visit Edmonton semi-regularly.. the city's changed, but the memories remain. Note: I remember a really old commercial in the 70s when I was a kid. I think it was a station ID spot for ITV or CTV.... It showed upviews of the AGT building, etc., all to Barry's White's Love Unlimited Orchestra playing Love's Theme! Anybody recall if this was the case?
Huh. The annex to the Macdonald Hotel has just been demolished (at 3:18) while the old City Hall is still standing (2:10) - it was demolished 4 years later. The CN yards are also still there (1:33) - they had another 14 years to go.
What a great video, and so many memories. My dads office was on the penthouse level of Edmonton House, just beside the Chateau Lacombe. I left Edmonton in ‘87 for the coast, and although I love it out here, Edmonton will always feel like home. Any idea the name of song or group from the video?
Wow now I wanna get a drone from the 80's haha.. What were the tablets and iPhone like back then?? ..................................... Oh drat, noisy crickets.. 6 hour later : Oh look a tumbleweed
Not racist at all, an observation. It's an observation to say that There are a lot white people in Vermont Or there are a lot of blacks in Mississippi. Enjoy licking Chinese boots. They are stealing our masks and giving us faulty covid19 test kits.
except the part that some buildings in 2018 which are still standing, other service providers and companies live in these buildings. FYI, Vista 33 AGT Tower doesn't exist anymore. Telus owns the building.
I remember going to vista 33 for field trips. Thanks for the memories
so do i. too bad it's no longer there

The Oilers were celebrating Stanley Cup #2 ,if I recall correctly,with 3 more on the way!,👍🏻🇨🇦
I think it was still $0.50 for a ticket to the top then, again Brian - pretty cool and thanks!

Legendary music
I went there a couple times. Edtel had a phone museum up there at one time. I’d love to go on top of Stantec tower now.
This is the year we moved from Edmonton to Ottawa. Missed it.
So many Aborginals have been assaulted, murdered and missing. European canadians are to blame.

Anybody know the name of the song?
2.09 of the Video. A Glimpse of the Old City Hall
Anyone know the name / artist of the track?
Wondering the same. Its pure Vaporwave
River is running high. From the flood that year
The flood was in 1987. The year of the F-4 tornado in Edmonton. Could of been high cause of rainfall. Never mind, you're right, it was July 1986...
You can see the Bell Tower/MNP Tower
I’m surprised it was not to old that time like the buildings and Edmonton himself was ok and fine
I missed the way downtown looked. There wasn't so many damn useless office towers like there is now 33 years later 😢😢
Is this place still open to the public?
Edmonton was way nicer then compared to now.
Wow now I wanna get a drone from the 80's haha.. What were the tablets and iPhone like back then??
.....................................
Oh drat, noisy crickets..
6 hour later :
Oh look a tumbleweed
The tablets were made of stone idiot hahahahaha
please upload in 4k thank you
track id ? :-)
4k resolution in 1986? I don't think so chief LOL!
What an eyesore, to this day!
Not the Edmonton anymore.
If you know what I mean since it's more Asian, African
Your veiled racism aside, no Edmonton is not the same as it was. If it stayed the same, that would be worth a comment.
@@hardyboy1959 majority of old Stock canadians despise minorites.

Apparently, your ancestors did harm to aborginals.
arcticpwners ok boomer
Sparsely populated , and less of a shit pit than it is now . still sucks though .
Still the same old small buildings today
except the part that some buildings in 2018 which are still standing, other service providers and companies live in these buildings. FYI, Vista 33 AGT Tower doesn't exist anymore. Telus owns the building.
And the 33rd floor is closed permanetly.
And Stantec Tower is built
And JW Marriott
