find more vids like this, you will be able to see the lie for yourself on demographic breakdowns. back then africans were ~ 15% of the population. now they say it's dropped to below 14% yet no matter where you look - it's as if you were in the west indies where there too africans have become the majority.

I was 14 years old and bought most of my records at sams or A&A, got a drink at the papaya hut and a sub at Mr submarine , then to the arcade . You always saw the Hare Krishna down town. Brings back great memories..

I have lived my entire life in Toronto. I turned 20 in 1974. Unlike a lot of folks my age I really don't look back at those days with rose-coloured glasses. As this video make clear, Toronto was dirtier, scruffier, less interesting all round. Great video, BTW.

It was about this time I went down to Sam’s and bought the original Lynryd Skynard album with them in fire. I believe they were using helicopters to put up the CN. tower on that day. In a way, it was on that day at 15 that I knew (GNOSIS) what Toronto was and who owned it and why things have happened in the way they have. And yeah...I busked in the pit at Dundas and Young between 79 and 85...I still have the guitar that has the dents when coins hit it:-P

Memories... Hook up with the boys after work on a Friday. Start off at Yonge St Station for 50 cents draughts ordered by the tray. Sometimes we'd head over the Old Spaghetti Factory for a bite or just hit one of the many pubs on Yonge. Tons of live music back in the day. The Gas Works was great rock club. Not too hard to take a gal home after. Once things closed, 1 am back in those days we'd usually hit the Happy Lucky Chinese food joint at Bloor St or head up to Yonge and St Clair and hit Frans all night diner for bite to soak up the booze and head home. No bar fights. No shootings or stabbings. No BS. Just a great night out on the town. Really miss those days

Great to see old videos of Toronto. I see a lot of comments where some people feel that it was safer while others say it was pretty seedy. On one hand I remember travelling downtown on my own when I was 15 to buy art supplies and I would go out and about on my own at about 12! Then again I remember being in my late teens and heading downtown and being followed by guys and creepy guys walking by and making comments. And yes I just wouldn't walk down certain parts of Yonge street.

And 50 years from now folk will be bemoaning the loss of those glorious days of 2024. ;) It has ever been the so, and always will be, when nostalgia is given free rein. The halcyon days of our younger years elicit potent feelings about those simpler and more care-free times. Particularly where our teen years are concerned, when we begin to leave childhood behind while still having the security of a family and home. But this nostalgia thing is a rolling train, following us throughout life, trailing behind by about 30 years and more. Calling to us with memories given a rosier tint, being always compared to the current travails of modern living. And who would have it any other way? That special mixture of wistful longing and warming glow of reflecting back on long past times is one of the wonderful pleasures afforded by an imaginative, reflective, contemplative consciousness. It is an aspect of the way in which time heals.
