[@robbojax2025]

I enjoy these walks so much

[@spider7003]

You have such a gift of presenting the Hidden Toronto Treasures, within the center of a busy city. Thank you for bringing and sharing this beauty with us to our homes.

[@Susan.Lewis.]

I love the walks where you show your face before starting out. It makes me feel like I'm walking with a friend

Enjoyed revisiting the area --worked at Manufacturers Life from the mid 70s to 80s. Thanks for stirring up some pleasant memories.

[@gabriellen.2886]

What a pleasant walk! It was like being in a small village, merely steps from the big city. Thanks!

[@funnydog2448]

Great walk Johnny! One of the many gems our city is proud of.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Haha, you're right - the Studio Building always intrigued me, now I know a little more - thanks!

[@TheLahoza]

Being Canadian expat, your videos keep bringing me back home whenever the homesick feeling hits. Keep the great videos coming and running👌👍

[@KarlFengler]

I'm an expat myself, moved from Mississauga in 1978. I too really enjoy Johnny's videos, since 2006, last time I visited the area.

[@martinvanoene7192]

I had no idea about the Studio house That is fascinating.

[@susanjustice8392]

That was a lovely walk...thankyou..

[@markwoodley712]

Cool video Johnny, I pass by the Studio building a lot and know the history of it as well, thanks for sharing. When I lived at Spadina & Lowther, I'd walk to work on Bloor St East and pass by Manulife's Building most days, they fertilize their lawn many times during the season to maintain it so well. A gang of us from the first full time job I had would have lunch at one of the Insurance companies' cafeterias in this neighbourhood because the menu prices were subsidized, it helped when we were all earning a pittance in an entry level position.

Many years ago, I was invited to a cocktail party at one of the apartments in this building. One enters into a large room with high ceiling with a huge window brining in lots of light! At the back of the room was both a kitchen and bathroom and above that, by stairs was a loft and library where the renter slept. I loved it!

[@enrico4092]

Lots of natural light is always welcome. 🌞

[@JohnnyStrides]

That's neat!

[@enrico4092]

What a lovely hidden gem. 🤩 Nice to see that family enjoy a picnic there. Thank you for sharing this Johnny. ☕️

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks Enrico!

[@enrico4092]

@luca veronesi Luca my friend, Johnny’s video proved to be a pleasant learning experience for you. 😀

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Your right, I've been on the train many times and I've never even known about Studio House, very interesting! Next time I'm in Toronto, I will need to check out this building. I've been to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinberg now I need to see where it all started. Thank you Johnny for this very interesting learning video!👍👍😀🚶‍♂️

[@simmerszalai9196]

Yup, I've also seen this place my friend brought me here cause we're both history nards.

[@WanderinginMotion]

very pretty park wow - so much green!

[@maheyamk]

Thanks for the great content.. Please add also a side screen of the gps tracking map or something which records your live walk around the area

[@whitbydude]

Interesting and informative walk, thank you!

[@missyogiebear]

Love these 'Hidden Toronto' videos. 💕 Thanks Duck! 😉

[@ryandirkse4374]

Always a pleasure to explore with you. Love the walk

[@realmickmanning]

Johnny, this was great. Thank you.

[@marie-chantalchabot9916]

Hi from Montreal SouthShore. It is great to see Toronto with other 👀 .

[@ellymunslow436]

Loved it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good morning Sunshine ☀

[@RollingWithIan]

Thanks for this video, you saved me some grief of having to get to the path going down to Severn Creek Park only to find that the path the Google maps Walking and Cycling guides say to use and find Stairs. It looks like I will have to approach it from the south instead, but I prefer not to have to go uphill in my chair because it drains the battery faster.

I watched "If You Could Red My Mind", loved some of the older video of areas where Gordon Lightfoot first did his thing. Have you ever gone by places he's lived any played?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Not yet.. I'll try to get around to it!

[@danmaximilianzilberman5163]

Hey,Johnny! When are going to upload the next members only, only for members a new video?Thanks!

[@JohnnyStrides]

I actually have two, I'll try to get one out by the weekend (it's on the shorter side) and the other next week. Cheers!

Hidden Toronto Series, nice spin. I am in. The world we live in now. You were entering the park when the father, daughter walked up and put the masks on right away. This park reminds me of Sherwood Park, not too far from you. Have you done a tour of that one?

[@JohnnyStrides]

I have.

[@cheesyrider6914]

Have ya found the hidden entrance to Riverdale park from Bloor St ?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Is it off Royal Drive? That might be a good idea for the next one.

[@cheesyrider6914]

@@JohnnyStrides That's the one.

As he approaches a woman pushing an elder in a wheelchair he mentions he chose a busy time of day to do this. lmao

[@Mark-pm9nh]

Hi Johnny . Great video . I love this area, park & walk way . Love Group of 7 . Amazing artists & history . ps. Someone on your channel verbally attacked me . I think he did it because I used a gay rainbow emoji . It made me feel sick to my stomach . Decided to keep leaving comments because I really enjoy your videos . Mark (Toronto) 💙🌈

[@JohnnyStrides]

Hey Mark, if I see comments like that I will remove them and ban repeat offenders (or on the first time if it was way over the line). Your comments are appreciated and I'll do my best to keep it respectful in the comments (KZbin's own filter often catches most of it... sorry this one slipped through).
