Good to see this footage.. I visited CASTRO In early 80s from LONDON just before HIV/AIDS devastated the community. It was the BEST of times and the WORST of times.. ❤
mjc5509, I totally get what you're saying because I lived through the HIV/AIDS crisis and fortunately got through it unscathed. I remember being tested in the mid-80s and was terrified and in tears to get the result, which in those days, you had to wait two whole weeks. Are you still living in London? Thanks for watching our video...much appreciated!
I'm 68 and living a quiet simple life in Los Angeles. London must be exciting and hope to visit one of these days... 😎 I'm originally from the colony (Canada) and have been living in Southern California for 36 years.
Yep, and it is still primarily a gay area although there has been some gentrification in recent years. I mean, that's a good thing because everyone should get along just fine.😀
How cool is that...a fellow Canadian! I've been living in Los Angeles since 1985. I have been to Ottawa several times in the past. Born in Montreal, lived in Toronto for 10 years and been in LA ever since.

Great, safe walk.
Great video. Thank you!
I like this video ❤❤ keep going 🎉🎉
Thanks so much, Romario! We enjoyed our stroll up and down the Castro as well. As well, we appreciate your support of our channel!
OMG, 50 yearslater, the streetcars look the same! And the Castro Theater is still the landmark.

"Well you don't see that everyday!".
Certainly not in MY neighbourhood.
You're right, Pixelrancher...certainly not in my neighborhood either!

Thanks for watching our videos, Pixelrancher. Where is it that you do your pixel ranching? I do mine out of Burbank, California.
@@SWExplore Hey guys, the pleasure is mine.
