[@dr.curious5136]

At 1:140 , that was me in my 1987 Mustang Gt ….. funny as hell , I’m 99.9999999% certain that was me

[@ClintScottFischer]

Did you remember the idiot that rode your tail there and had to step on the brakes only to get into the right lane? 😅😅

[@AChapstickOrange]

God, Hwy 7 at a level crossing with Yonge Street. I'd completely forgotten that. Unbelievable.

[@user-xg8ig6zx5r]

You missed Tommys Burgers just before you turned down Markham road , that was the best spot In Markham forever! Wow what trip down memory lane ty!

[@stevemasters3753]

Wish I could’ve seen the number on the Sears truck I would’ve known the driver. Brilliant memory shaker👍

[@sorryrocco]

This brings back memories of places id almost forgotten, i live in Manchester uk but spent a few years in Markham, i saw the pizza hut on the right across from the shopping mall . I worked at the pizza hut and got fired for smoking in the walk in fridge and scoffing chicken. I also worked at a garden nursey that grew and sold plants and trees. Wish i never left.

[@gedias1]

Back when Main Street Unionville was Kennedy Rd, and the now Kennedy Rd was the Unionville By-pass.

[@RR-xu5xk]

I remember those drives as a kid and I would see farms.

[@warfawarfa7322]

I remember this November 1988 in the GTA at that i was only in Canada for 3 months and i arrived from the US because i have lived there 9 years prior before moving, went to high school, college and work in the states, and moved to Canada and work to went to university as well, i remember driving in the border in my 1987 Nissan Sentra from Washington DC, Toronto was different back then and how would think that it has been 30 years since 1988.

[@Boosted00]

Great video thanks. Love watching old footage of the GTA. Love the gas price, 41.9 cents.

[@lilbabyangel125]

Wow the roads were so empty back then wish it was like that still

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

Holy shit!! Awesome!! Love to see the suburbs in the old days!!

[@magneto8002]

Back when Markham was good.

[@R3troGT500]

Awesome Video. Thanks for posting

[@hemantkhanna97]

i work at Popeyes at Airport and queen holy shit !! nothing was there

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

So, I was wondering if you happen to have footage of the railway crossings on Lakeshore Blvd, Strachan Ave, Carlaw Ave, Pottery Rd, Kennedy Rd, Cherry St & Old Weston Rd?

[@njam101]

1988 Federal election signs at 16:09

[@jakecarroll5]

Back when Canada was actually Canada.

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

Do you happen to have some more highway footage with some railway crossings at grade?

[@detroitdieselseries5071]

Do u have footage of Bathurst street in the 1990's?

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

Do you happen to have footage of the old HWY 69 CN at-grade railway crossing south of Sudbury from the early 90s including some railway crossings in all across Ontario from the early 90s?

[@ALuimes]

Sorry, no, but I did get some construction footage of it in Port Severn in 1994 I could upload. Not the best quality though.

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

I wonder if you have a video of Highway 400 from Toronto to Vaughan from the early 1990's

[@user-qr5hp4ok3e]

There used to be an airport by Canada's Wonderland

[@themanhimself4801]

Crazy stuff.

[@iOnSL]

That Kfc is still there

[@StuMarston]

And I'm still working there.

[@ianmacintyre8901]

Nice footage! I just wanted to ask you that you don’t happen to have any old footage of driving through in Hamilton on Highway 403 around the 1990’s, do you?

[@ALuimes]

Hamilton, no

[@SuperSkarloey]

I can see most people didn't care to use their signal back then either...

[@kennykenny6896]

listening to the news on the radio talking about computer viruses was very interesting.

[@ALuimes]

HA! I didn't mute the radio talk portions because I knew some watching would find 1988 news and ads interesting!

[@AChapstickOrange]

5:36 Report about a computer virus, six or seven years before the internet really became a thing. You must have had to work hard to pull that off back in those days. :D

[@ALuimes]

Good observation! I left the audio in for that because I was hoping someone would notice.

[@jeil5676]

I remember when those were all dirt roads.

[@schichter]

Do you own this video? I would love permission to use 19 seconds of it in a documentary film I'm directing if that would be possible.

[@ALuimes]

Go ahead!

[@holidayseason1205]

Before the Indians invaded

[@ALuimes]

Especially that rural area at the beginning. Its ghetto there now.

[@themanhimself4801]

@@ALuimesits called knightsbridge. Def the “ brampton “ hood haha

[@StuMarston]

i grew up in Aurora. It's definitely different now.

[@WheredidCanadago.]

When lndia was still in lndia !

[@SoTanhFilms]

When people made $5/hr and were still able to afford a house

[@gondolacrescent5]

Yah, I think a mortgage in 1988 was about 14% per annum.

[@scargamezz4218]

Do you videos of highway 50 and highway 7?

[@ALuimes]

Sorry, no. But this one gets close to it in the beginning.

[@gxostmuzik7287]

Wanted to watch this to see what my parents seen when they first landed in this country

[@flipperfryer]

Shell gas Station 47.5 per Ltr WOW

[@howardasternfan]

[@solitudeinarctic787]

[@javierdenardo2607]

Driving a Pontiac

[@ontariorail1251]

This is insane. Highway 48/markham road looks nothing like this now. Super developped with appartments

[@ALuimes]

Markham Village hasn't changed that much actually. North and south of it sure has though.

[@MatrixDiscovery]

41 cent gas !!@

[@davidsimpson6404]

Brampton is Dump know and was back than to

[@barney6888]

Isn't wonderful to make this drive without any BMW drivers trying to sticky beak their way into your spot?

[@tahir8929]

why did I even click on this

[@StuMarston]

Because you'll be moving there soon.
