A Drive Through Meadowvale, Mississauga, Ontario - 1990 vs 2023

[@mattcarroll5688]

That was a great nostalgia trip. I grew up in that area. Thanks for posting!

I grew up here too! Except that was more 2000's when a good bit of the urbanization in the video had already been put in place. When we moved here in 2005, that stretch of Winston Churchill already had houses on its sides on the other side of that sound barrier. Argentia also already had those gas stations and shopping plazas it has now. What I'm unsure about is when Derry and Winston Churchill had all those extra lanes put in including the slip roads for turning right, I'd assume it's when those houses were built.

@@manganesedioxide14 Yeah, those lanes came in towards the end of the 90s, I think I couldn't swear to it because I wasn't paying attention. I lived in Meadowvale from 1984 to 2000. I was really hoping the drive would continue up Argentia, which used to end more or less at Fifth Line (which doesn't exist there anymore). There was so little traffic on it then that that's where my instructor trained me to drive. :)

@@AChapstickOrange fifth line west :') I actually just drove past the stretch of it in south mississauga today. A piece of history for sure.

Why does this fill me with intense nostalgia?? I can feel myself crying…

I lived in Meadowale in 2001 to 2017 near ninth line and Derry road when Metro was called 'Dominian' and there was a Blockbuster video rental place

crazy how much Winston Churchill changed

[@robmenzies862]

That was a great video comparison. For the most part things haven't changed a whole lot in 33 years. I'm curious as to what camera you used to get the footage from 1990.

[@arricammarques1955]

1990 before hyperinflation ruined the GTA.

Jesus even our videos are terrible. Was it too hard to sync them up?

[@manganesedioxide14]

I only really cared about roughly syncing up turns and the highway merge, way too much effort to sync them exactly Also edited this with openshot which is a nightmare to use but it's also the only video editing software I know how to use lmao

[@johnmorrison9758]

let's see what you can do with trying to sync videos. You seem to think it is something easily done. Anything else to complain about?
