this is way better than Johnny strides what a

13:47 1997 Toronto is an example of the Toronto I fell in love with, 2024 is yuk! Congested, garbage, homeless, angry people unaffordable living

Please bring me back this city again 😢

I miss the danforth

unrecognizable now. Toronto is its own little third world country now... about as safe as one too. I don't dare visit anymore you couldn't pay me to

Mr Greenjeans or Lime Rickeys - I wish I had the problem of choosing between those two 😢

I don't remember it being that busy

it was so clean...

Current day Walter C McKenzie building (U of A hospital) in Edmonton looks a lot like this (same era, same architect). Soaring atrium, exposed HVAC duct, white railings, globe fixtures, glass elevators. Both of a piece.

Omg Rogers Video ❤

A lot I did not know. Border Town Canada: ua-cam.com/video/uQhJukSbEZE/v-deo.html

What a dump the city is now a days

Ah man the good old days. I could afford to live at Yonge and Eglinton and have a car and not be always stuck in gridlock. CityTV, Much Music, Queen street was always hopping with lots of cool independent shops where I got awesome clothing. Phoenix Concert Theatre, Velvet Underground and others. The live-to-air broadcasts with Martin Streak. Now everyone stares at their phones and music is garbage.

Back when life was normal

It was so nice before the country was flooded with people we don't need

Back when Toronto was affordable

Beautiful place before diversity showed up

The fact that it looks mostly the same is kind of funny -I haven’t been in years though

The overall structure of this mall hasn't really changed at all. It's really just the stores that changed which of course is expected.

Geneva is better than Toronto.

5th gen Torontonian, still here. Born in 1982. THIS was my childhood. The Eaton Centre (meeting at the fountain if we got lost), Lime Ricky’s, Lick’s and Toby’s burgers, walking down Yonge with my mum and sister and my mum holding our hands tightly in the sketchy bits, the Spaghetti Factory for birthday parties , St. Lawrence market and the smell of fish that stuck to your clothes , going to the Ex in the summer and watching my sister scream on the polar express. I was too afraid to go on rides. Huge lineups for Tiny Tom’s doughnuts (that hasn’t changed). This just made me so nostalgic and really sad in a weird way. Thanks for posting. 🥲❤

Anyone remember Lime Ricky’s? I used to love that place, the milkshakes were so good. I remember loving all the cosmetics too and begging my mum to take me into Eatons to let the perfume ladies spray me, I was like 5. Then I’d take the little paper card they sprayed it on and put it in my purse, lol. Simpler times, I miss those days. ❤❤ Such fond memories.

look, all beef hotdog is $1.5

Thank you, it brings back fond memories.

Eaton Centre was a bad idea for Eaton's , they built a Mall around their flag ship store that sold the same merchandise but cheaper than them ,no wonder Eaton's went Bankrupt

Looks like this footage is from the August 1989 Savage Steel show? I believe a then unknown band named Soundgarden was the opener.

$1.50 hot dog….

The year and city I was born in. Sad I never got to see it in better shape like this.

I was working at the Florsheim Shoe store next to the elevator on level 2 at the time this was made. I was one of the people who opened the original store at that mall. Its like looking at a dream.

❤

I remember going to the Cineplex in the Eaton Cetre, I believe it was 1980 when I was 13. My friend and I were expecting 21 full size cinemas, and when we got there the theatres were lucky to have 30-50 seats each. The screen was equivalent to what you'd see in a sports bar today. We went to see the Blues Brothers which had all the 'F' bombs edited out because we weren't old enough to see the 'R' version. Good times. 😄

Those were the good old days when Simpsons and Eaton’s department stores were on each end of the Eaton Centre. I miss those simpler times.

Fido!!!! 📞

So.. what happened?

Living in Toronto in the 90’s being in your early 20’s was a blast, now the City has turned into a cesspool, what the hell went wrong….

Pre cesspool. Just a few years before the downward spiral began....

I might have to sub just to binge watch all these.. It's so frustrating having people that haven't even been in this province for 3-5 years act like they've know this city before you ever did. No no.. This was OUR city right here.

Ahh yes, back in grade 7 when I wore basketball "Tear Aways", "And 1" t-shirts, and disliked those "Tamagotchis". Last but not least, puberty 😀

When the cars made were built to last and actually worth their value! Toronto is what it is today due to the leaders and elites. “For the haves and have more!”

Imagine you saw yourself on video? This was the ideal time to be in Toronto buying and holding onto real estate. Fast forward 2024, It’s congested It’s become mean It’s become more violent Increase in homelessness Increase in mental health issues Influx of too many foreigners Too many building everywhere High prices in food, rents, water and cost of living overall! Many stores out of business do to change in the economy and the digital age Change in our leader to a “guy next door lookalike” Feel free to comment or agree/disagree with the above. What made Toronto exciting and a desired place to live for you? Hot dogs were $1.50 in 1997, now $5! It’s all the money printing, capitalistic debt system that fuels higher priced goods! The entire globe is running off of taxpayer money, bonds and a growing concerning debt bubble

i still remeber these days. I would be 7-9 years old in the late 90s

I am reading the first novel of it

I love the 90s

Honestly looks the same, just with fewer visible minorities. Idk what y’all are yapping about in the comments lol

I wish there was some footage of Petro Canada. Just curious what was the gas price 27 years ago. I remember it was 65C/Litre for 87 Octane in the year 2000.

It's so clean. What happened?

Rogers video, wow

I can actually see the sky again and not just 10000000 condos... I miss this Toronto..

When a 🌭 was really 2$ and a sausage was 3$

People are actually talking with one another and enjoying what's around them and not looking at a f#&*ing cell phones. Technology is killing humanity. We can fix this by not using it.
