Downtown Toronto Yonge Street Walk to Best Buy (June 25, 2021)

[@RaymondandBella]

20:00 there's Zanzibar in Yonge Street in Toronto Ontario Canada. I found Zanzibar, that's where Abomination where is at from the movie 2008s "The Incredible Hulk" with Tim Roth.

20 years I left and it is now unrecognizable.

Thanks for uploading this video. I used to live in Toronto from 2017-18. Yonge steet and Dundas is my favorite place. I reall miss that time when summer and autumn comes. It was amazing

[@user72974]

@@강민수-j8u Little too much hustle and bustle for me. It's my least favorite part of downtown. I can see why some people like it though.

Thanks for taking me along your walk ..you passed by my daughter..thank you very much

[@70hipeng]

really appreciated your video. I miss Toronto. I can see sky, ppl walking, cars and the buildings, so many memoriries.

[@thisspacenotforrent]

Love the route as use to do this almost weekly in my youth...found it amusing at 20:50 that woman sees the camera and is like yo let me fix this so the camera gets a better view, lol...

[@d6477312]

Missed my home for almost eight years...thanks for the video....brings back a lot of nostalgic memories.

[@IraJavier]

I miss it. I used to walk this route (more or less) daily from 2008-2016 before and after work. Our office moved after that, but I still did walk it maybe once every other week up until when the lockdown in March 2020. I think I saw a drone video at the beginnng of the pandemic where the streets were totally empty. Nice to see some life to it again. Thanks for the video.

[@shannon60]

At 27:03 on the left there was a Cineplex movie theatre and that movie theatre is so fun like I have been there a few times with some friends and you get to be so high up and idk it is just fun

Its been along time since I did this trek. I use to go Northbound from Union in the Path to The Hudsons Bay exit, sometimes I would make it to bloor, sometimes I would just go East or West wherever and Explore. Nice Video !!

Always a pleasure to walk with you.

[@yurav5109]

Dollarama, LCBO, Winners, Gimpmaster - I miss them all! Interesting poster - "I Sweat For Belonging", I think a lot of people in Toronto can relate to that...I would say full reopening will happen by the end of 2022-beginning 2023..The network at work keeping people calm...Well done Johnny! Would not mind watching you having dinner on the patio somewhere - interesting perspective ..

Thank you for this instrumental introduction to the famous "Yonge Street" downtown area..

That building to the right of the scaffolding on Alexander used to be the city Morgue. They operate on a 24/7 schedule. A friend who worked there once gave me a tour of it. I think. It was supposed to be redeveloped as affordable housing and was under construction, but I am not sure if it's finished.

Hello Ive been watching your videos. Toronto is a city I've fascinated by for years. I became more fascinated when I read an article where it was featured as one of the best cities to visit without an itinerary. What would your opinion be on that. What would your suggestions be for visiting Toronto for a visit time visitor. I would seriously consider visiting Toronto over new York London or Paris because those cities are just too overwhelming.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I'd say just stay somewhere close to downtown and show up with no itinerary, there's plenty here. Cheers!

[@AnnaLVajda]

It's a nice place to visit though I preferred living an hour or so away and just going in for a weekend or a show great city but like most big cities not enough green space for me after years in the country.

I don't think you can do any of those at a cannabis store. It basically skulk in get you dope and exit by the back door, so no one knows yours there. The stores are not even allowed to display anything on their storefront they are considered so dangerous by the government. At least the LCBO can display their wares in the front window.

[@KrazieSevin]

@@PWingert1966 What're you talking about? Cannabis stores are allowed to advertise their store name and logos, that's all that's necessary. The LCBO doesn't put liquor in their front windows on display so it can be seen from the outside, idk which LCBO's you've been to where that happens. The gov't considers cannabis stores so dangerous that they are giving thousands of licenses for new shops yearly, get used to the change mate. Also, fuck Starbucks, you chose to defend one of the worst corporations, they can buck on out of Canada for all I care, I don't like their coffee and I don't want to go inside to sit and chill for hours with a cup of coffee cause I wanna feel less lonely being surrounded by like minded coffee connoisseurs who have equally bad taste in coffee and in the concept of socializing.

@P. Wingert, I prefer to think of it as _independent_ businesses setting up shop in Toronto and putting money back into the city rather than some faceless foreign corporation doing it (and I say this while having no real animus towards said faceless corporations.) Independent coffee shops can always take the place of a Starbucks (and I don't know why you hate cannibis shops so much for anyway.)
