Friday Night Walk in Downtown Toronto (Narrated) on July 17, 2020 [4K]

A 4K downtown Toronto Night walk that starts by walking north up Yonge Street Dundas Street. At Dundas Square I turn west and walk along Dundas through Little Tokyo and Chinatown. I then turn south on Spadina Avenue and head past Queen Street and into the entertainment district. From there it's past a number of patios on Adelaide, John and Richmond Street's before finding my way to St Andrew Station. The street's were still quiet thanks to only being on Stage 2 of the coronavirus pandemic but it was still great to see people out and enjoying the city. This was recorded on Friday, July 17 at 8:55 pm. The temperature was 27 degrees Celsius.
0:01 - North on Yonge Street
5:30 - Dundas Square
7:43 - West on Dundas Street West
10:30 - Bay Street (& Dundas - Little Tokyo)
15:15 - University Avenue (& Dundas)
23:21 - Chinatown
27:13 - South on Spadina Avenue
36:16 - East on Adelaide Street West
43:00 - North on John Street
45:10 - East on Richmond Street West
49:46 - South on University Avenue
53:48 - Entering St Andrew Subway Station (TTC)

The last few posts have blown my mind. I live here. Freaky. Nice to see it from a different lens

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks Todd, much appreciated and it's always good to see things from a different perspective. I'd love to hear what others who live here to have to say.

[@ronreidjr]

First of all, love the site. And the commentaries are awesome. I believe Chinatown did not start down in Spadina area or behind city hall. I believe it was a spill off of the original Chinatown which is Broadview Ave. After a strong influx of Chinese into Broadview they moved to what is now Chinatown. Thank you for also talking about stage 1, 2 and 3 and what to expect. We just have soft encouragements not any lockdowns. ***I am so sad few people are wearing masks. Keep going for us from Toronto growing up around the time you grew up it is just amazing to see all the changes. Hope you keep exploring Toronto. And your commentary is amazing and thank you for giving a loonie to people down on their luck. Believe it or not the homeless now have donation apps to receive a donation for people like you who want to give a small bit of change in digital form. We have the same problem with bikes on the sidewalks. But our bike theft is taken more seriously here in Japan. Oh, the Spadina shuffle song is by the SHUFFLE DEMONS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYvRfZ2InsSab9E This makes me happy of my walks through Toronto are still full of people. I might have to put up more of my Toronto with people videos. not quite 4k Queen Street (sorry the loud narration- I was more kzbin.info/www/bejne/iniZqIuBeax4nK8 Kensington market kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ-leIRpn9OroNk Thank you so much for these new videos.

LIFE ISNT EASY .... I don't want to force anything on yall but man I've had so many problems and the only true way to come out of them victorious is thru the Lord God Almighty... I know society makes everyone think being religious is for deluded people but please open your eyes it's not.. I plead to yall just say a prayer to God commit all your worries fears, regrets and deepest problems into his hands.. read the bible and keep praying to him in Jesus Name .. I promise you your life will change for the better I promise you I was pondering on suicide, I wanted to run away from home but I prayed to the Lord God and all of a sudden ..things started moving forward in my life.. I've done so many evil things in my past.. things that i think any other person would kill me for if they were God but God kept me alive and well I dont want to be seen as the deluded guy in the comment section but I'm literally pouring my heart out I thought my sins were too bad and that I will never succeed in my dreams.. but I forgot that in John 3:16 it says "For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life" Believe that Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins to be forgiven and to give us eternal life in heaven You may think I'm crazy but I'm begging just try this read the bible pray and watch yourself rise to heights you never expected Dont fall into the tricks of the world I'm begging I apologise for this being too long Imma try and send this out to loads of comments sections.. I hope this touched your soul.. if it did please like the message and comment let's make it togetherrr

I lived in Toronto for about 11 months a year ago. Although I am in Korea now, I miss this city so much. I miss the Canadians who were kind to me. I especially miss the wood ave hair salon lady who cut my hair and the lady who always paid for me at the mart. I want to go as soon as possible once the Corona virus is gone. I love Canada.

[@JohnnyStrides]

That's great to hear and I can see by your youtube logo you really like the city :) I lived in Korea (Seoul) for 5 years and I absolutely love your country. So be happy that you are still in an amazing place and Toronto will be ready to welcome you back with open arms should you return. Thanks for watching the videos!
