Steeles to Finch Station in Newtonbrook | North York, Toronto Walk

A Toronto walk in North York (that actually starts in Vaughan and pops over to Markham briefly) and then heads south down Yonge Street to Finch. I pass by the future Steeles subway station site as well as the proposed one at Cummer.

Brings back memories!

[@TWICEVENTEEN]

Always love the willowdale & newtonbrook areas!

[@sepandttcexplorer]

Me too!!

[@canman5060]

Very nice neighbourhood for many years.

[@user-qv2ur2bw3z]

Use to work at Newtonbrook Bowlerama back in 83/84 as a pin chaser back when I was 16/17 making 3.15 an hour worked about 20 hours weel it was enough money back then to buy all the concert ticket to see the bands came to town great times. Wow what a change Newtonbrook Plaza gone it has been years since I been up to that part of Yonge St.

[@sepandttcexplorer]

Great walk along Yonge St from Steeles to Finch station during Twilight Mr Strides! Have a good Thursday!

[@martym61]

Nice walk at sunset. I know I said it before, but still amazed by all those currency exchanges

[@erracht]

I love the sunsets behind the hydro corridor at Newtonbrook. And it was even better before all those towers were built up to obscure the view. Looking Eastward from the Kiss 'n' Ride parking lot or thereabouts, the sunlight would magnificently reflect from the glass on the Bel Air Direct tower and the North American Centre towers, more dramatically than I think they would now.

[@corinnelaking569]

Great twilight walk, Johnny. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@harjotjassal9180]

Good video Johnny

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone

[@canman5060]

The GO buses were single decker when I first arrived in Toronto 40 years ago.

[@AcidGlow]

Burrito Place! I went there one time 😆. My favorite spots are the large green parks. Some hidden within urban areas and others along the Lake with a great view. Have you tried any spots along the Lake for a long walk?

[@jacquelines9966]

Good morning

[@PatreceSunflower]

Amazing ❤

[@markkirkwood7031]

Great video as are all the others Johnny…new to the channel finding what you share ie..info on things about the city is very interesting thx !!!

[@Reddylion]

nice vid

[@IsInteresting]

I remember John Anderson near the Finch Station was originally on the site where the DUCA credit union on Yonge is. I believe they booted them from their location. Too bad they are gone.

[@erracht]

The old John Anderson where the DUCA now is had the best Souvlaki dinner.

[@IsInteresting]

@@erracht Slouvlaki on a bun was my choice. I would go there every few months.

[@talshalmoni7595]

Back in late 1988 in bought the suit I was married in at that Moores store. My dad RIP help me pick the proper suit along with a shirt and tie.

[@bald-man65]

[@canman5060]

13:45 This plazza has been there since the 1970's.

[@arrghhscott2785]

This area is called Newtonbrook

[@canman5060]

There is a Newtonbrook Secondary School in this neighbourhood.

[@canman5060]

There aer many new upscale Middle Eastern businesses like restuarants in Toronto recently and their prices are very competitive.

[@willwray8511]

Good you got out of downtown

[@canman5060]

Downtown and Uptown doesn't make much difference nowadays.Everywhere you go is highrise.

[@AyoB]

can you do a walkthrough of promenade mall?

[@canman5060]

I have been there on their first opening day in 1989.

[@canman5060]

I guess the Moore Man's fashion will be gone soon for highrise condo developments.

[@Christina24life]

The question is will those developments be affordable?

[@canman5060]

This neighbourhood may not be affordable by many.

[@canman5060]

Compare to Vancouver it is a absoulte steal !

[@robindaniels2987]

That’s such a nice area they’re about to ruin. I would be nice if they kept the vibe of the area and built houses. Even very small houses. Too many condos. The subway will take years and years. In the meantime, tons more people coming into the area with no convenient transit. I live near here but find it relaxing watching your walk. Thank you!!!!

[@EmperorBeef]

Really? This sea of parking lots and strip malls is the "nice area they're going to ruin"? As it stands it's an uninviting place for pedestrians. We have to build more housing in this city, and this is a prime place to do so. It doesn't matter how dismal the intersection. You'll always find some crank who wants everything to stay the same.
