Hey strides happy Friday! 😊

[@sanjayinkingston4296]

Hello Johnny. Your Niagara Falls videos 📹 were great 👍!

[@jennifergala]

Great video from the two Kens.

[@ActionKid]

Wonder where Johnny was!

[@robertmoura6336]

Wow it been 20 years since I left Toronto, actually the country, back in the seventies I lived on Queen Street just close to high park and I would walk along Queen to the rail bridge turn right and down to the CNE. Alot has changed. Great great video thank you

[@brigittegesierich7666]

Wow thx a lot for this awesome collab walk. I enjoyed it very very much. Take care both of you.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

Thanks you both. I am a huge, well, avid fan of both of you!! 🌟

I love the Ken Continuum. He's so knowledgeable about Toronto with a talent for narration. Great video action kid. Also on Monday Thanksgiving Day the Eaton center is open so you can eat at the food court.

[@ActionKid]

He's an amazing guest and love his insight on Toronto

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

You hit the nail on the head. He's very knowledgeable and does a great job narrating.

Hi Ken 😊, Toronto is very impressive! Thanks for showing us around 🍒

[@TheKenContinuum]

My pleasure!

[@angela86753]

That was really interesting. Love the midrise buildings.

[@Neville60001]

11:48-Across the street is the Gladstone Hotel, which was built in the late 1800's and had a train station near it so that CN (Canadian National) & CP (Canadian Pacific) passenger trains could stop off at it and deposit passengers who would then stay at the Gladstone. The Gladstone got renovated a few years back after falling into disuse and disrepair in the '40's and ''50's, and is now a boutique hotel.

[@devintaylor8702]

Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 is the best 😀

[@cheesyrider6914]

Our Central Park is basically Center island ,about the same size. A must at sunset, lights from the skyline are incredible.😀

[@ActionKid]

Really cool, I might have to give it a visit

[@JS-wi9mw]

@@ActionKid Definitely would check it out if you have the time. It is INCREDIBLE! But perhaps best travelled via bicycle

[@Neville60001]

Actually, our Central Park is High Park, where coincidentally a movie was filmed that's set in Central Park called _The Park Is Mine_ , a 1984 movie starring Tommy Lee Jones.

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

@@Neville60001 That movie was filmed in High Park??? I had no idea!!! I loved that movie...lol.

[@HengMiao]

Woohoo, the two Kens collab! 😎 10:53 Good to know Metro is not the subway station but a grocery store. 😅 It was nice to see the local shops, restaurants, old architectures, and some street art on West Queen West. Thank you for sharing this informative and relaxing walk with Ken, Ken! 🤗

[@jr2shiesty589]

Awesome Toronto walk of parkdale and West Queen West! Beautiful city

[@ActionKid]

I was really impressed with Parkdale and West Queen West

[@jarihult]

Nice looking neighborhoods and nice infos from your quest Ken , cool murals etc…😎Beautiful city 🙂 Thank you for this enjoyable walk in Toronto A K 🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure, I enjoyed learning about the neighborhoods and it was fun to walk through

[@truth_teller_tn]

Toronto is a happening city. Thank you for the excellent coverage. Much more interesting than boring Miami.

[@elizap]

Great walk! Glad that you're enjoying Toronto!

[@kc-nv5yi]

Glad you checked out Queen Street West. Hope you also check out College Street and King is always a fun walk too

[@21stcenturyMoments]

Great collaboration with two kens. Triple simultaneous livestream with ken continuum, Johnny strides and action kid for awesome you tube premiere. 👍😉

44:59-Across the street where the furniture store now stands used to be a punk rock-orientated performance venue called The Big Bop/Reverb, which used to be painted in purple and black.

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Hi ActionKid, I'm so glad you and Ken collaborated together. Ken knows so much about Toronto, you can never go wrong walking with him! I would say, High Park would be more like Central Park. If you ever go to Montreal their subway stations are called Montreal Metro. If you are still in Toronto this weekend, Happy Thanksgiving! This was really fun, thank you!👍👍😀🦃🐼

[@CityWalks_Estelle]

This was awesome cool to see thanks ken for showing ak around have a great Friday guys! 😊

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much!

Glad stone I had lots of beer's back in the day .wow 👍🇨🇦

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Queen Street vaguely reminds me of South Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[@ActionKid]

I can see where you get that from, I've been there before

[@areenakju]

Wow

[@JoAnn-LXKY]

Enjoyed this walk. T Y Ken x 2

[@ActionKid]

Thanks!

[@Neville60001]

37:34-Coming into view on your left is the Sanko store, an institution in Toronto that sells Japanese products, including Pocky.

[@giuseppegnazzo3154]

Lots of places sell pocky in Toronto, like P.A.T. Sanko a great store but a lot of the products can be found at much cheaper prices at other Korean/Asian Grocery stores.

[@Neville60001]

@@giuseppegnazzo3154, yes, lots of stores do _now_ sell Pocky (🙄), but for many years _before_ Japanese popular culture took off, this store was the place to buy Japanese good like Pocky.

I might have to take a look!

[@windsofsummer2261]

If i closed my eyes i would have thought u where in New York still with the sirens going off. Take care Action Kid,Breeze from Boston a big fan.🚑🤟

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

If watch almost any of Ken's videos or Johnny Strides, for sure it sounds like NY because of all the car honking and sirens. One of the reasons the show "Suites" was filmed in Toronto is because they wanted the same ambient noise.

[@jamesdaple9951]

Nice town !

GREAT HALL was an old YMCA for most of it's life

Crazy people there the nut house 99 queen Street West 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🇨🇦

Funny how the Canadian Ken is schooling American Ken about gentrification who is from NYC. NY State is all about gentrification!

Bad area 😂😂😂😂😂👍🇨🇦

[@micheleegan22]

Quite boring. Could have been interesting. Blah and zero details of one of the most historic areas of TO.
