I grew up in Regent Park (1960 - 1977) so I can relate to a lot of the pictures you showed; many people do not realize that before all the gangs, drugs and violence, Regent Park during the 50s, 60s and 70s was a great place for people to start a family, so many loving people and great kids that played and grew up together; and RP was situated in the heart of downtown, everything within walking distance, I know cause I was there. Cecile B., you really nailed it on this video, also enjoyed your vocal and guitar on the song, I also play guitar, very well done.

Regent Park will always be part of my life. My Grandmother moved there when I was born in April of 1974. She stayed the for 14 years. I would visit her every weekend. I'll never forget the great times we had together. Everything from breakfasts to Christmas. RIP Nana.
