Historic Toronto Then and Now. Part 2

[@GeriEstabrooks]

Just loved the before and after photos. It is nice to see some of the old buildings survive.

[@lee02jepson]

Love the 'then + now' posts, thank you

[@Onboardcat]

I have to say the work and effort you put into these videos leaves me speechless. I know many of these images and some both before and after (those from the 60's lol) Thank you so much for your time. I thoroughly enjoy your posts always and share many within our private group Regent Park. Thank you again for your time and efforts.

[@TheAnkhorus]

Brilliant! This deserves a nomination of some sort.

[@hardyboy1959]

I liked the way you did this one! Thanks for posting.

[@MichaelRS44]

Thank you again for Part 2 ..watching these I recalled things I had not pondered for years .. very nostalgic journey for this young lad born in 1944.

[@Nunyabizness2121]

Wow you have been blessed with years as the good book ( holy bible ) says you've lived to see the changes that must feel amazing my grandfather is from Scotland and I just decided to KZbin his hometowns name to see if anything came up well a similar video came up and he was in tears crying but thanking me for finding it asking where does the time go

[@ericlee303]

Your before and after comparison is most definitely one of the best I've seen for Toronto or any other I've watched for that matter. Great work!

[@evan2635]

Neat video - thanks for sharing this! I know all those areas of Toronto, and love seeing old footage of it,

[@imannonymous7707]

I dont know how many times as a child i gazed in wonder from my grandpas car at the tip top tailors building . Im not sure why even but its still a familar comfort. I love toronto archetecture and land marks

[@tluagel]

The building at the corner of Spadina and King 6:10 used to be a backpacker inn. What happenned to it? I don't beleive it went bankrupt because it seemed to do very well.

[@dougmiles7124]

Heard that it closed because the owner passed away. It was the largest in Toronto. After it closed the one on Augusta Ave. close to College was probably the largest.

[@NeilB.Arnold]

Love seeing the old buildings saved.

[@harleykaruliscreativity7467]

Keep up the good work! Great channel

[@csgraphicdesigntoronto4594]

Excellent!!

[@handyandy6437]

Thanks for this Then and way back when video. It's 2020 and many things have changed since this video was created, including a new street car. Also, the House of Lords is gone. You really DO have some very serious updating to do!!!!

One correction: The Royal Alexandra theatre is captioned as The Royal Alexander

Good music

[@fatysimulator211]

There are so many trees now it’s crazy

[@lildurpy]

Wow thats pretty incredible

[@relicreapers571]

They just destroyed anything glorious and any kind of history. Thanks Nathan Phillips. Must v been a Mason. That being said I still like a nice summer drive going downtown queenstreet. Just cruisin talkin to people as we drive by. Toronto is still a good place just gotta get people to love more. We're all in this together

[@FrankKnight8846]

It’s really disappointing how the CNE has turned out. They practically demolished everything. We need to preserve the historical building in Toronto. Stop destroying history.

[@Skyfoogle]

now we have protective acts that preserve old buildings. all of the buildings demolished in this video happened between 1960-1980

[@simmerszalai9196]

that building long gone before the stadium was built.

[@michaeltroster9059]

And stop replacing beautiful buildings with cookie cutter ugly high rise condos.

[@ChadLuciano]

...I'm going to sound like my grandpa...but man...the 'ol days were good.

[@MOJO-xi3wf]

Ahhh yes the Gladstone Hotel. I went there for my 30th birthday and downed many tequilas. My dad got refused service there in 1959 when I was born because he was not yet 21. Love that place. 🇨🇦🥅🏒🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@DungeonStudio]

Really like how you impose and scale and transition the pictures! Nice in one way we have kept many of our old landmarks. But then on the other hand, have bastardized and overshadowed so many of them. CNE especially. Such a treat to walk in it in the 70's and appreciate the different architecture styles, and then the radical future of Ontario Place across from it. Now it's like a mismanaged hodge podge that doesn't know what to do with itself.

[@L1V2P9]

Royal Alexander?

[@purpl3grape]

someone call the magic school bus, cuz I'm going through a feels trip.

[@railsedge5746]

Use to sell newspapers outside the Park Plaza

[@glen6945]

ooohhhyes

[@shelleyharris2850]

Of course the buses

[@vassa1972]

Wow I was born in'72

[@shelleyharris2850]

The Arch

[@martinerobert2914]

Toronto please stop tearing down historic buildings and replacing them with ugly glass and steel. Save what little culture you have while theres still time...

[@shelleyharris2850]

McCormick place

[@Insomniac_tv]

Keep ripping down theses historic buildings for your cheaply built condos

[@regteed9203]

I was in Toronto in '55. Grew up in the junction, high park and Parkdale. Your videos show nothing of the west end only downtown and the east end. Disappointing. Back in the day you were an east ender or a west ender.

[@thegoldendog7991]

This video shows The Gladstone Hotel at Queen West and Dufferin.
