❤ Summer hasn't changed at the CNE in Toronto that much. I recognised it immediately. This reminds me of my father's red rocket collections from his time working for the TTC. He has a Streetcar bell on his head stone. In later years, he worked for Transit control. These films remind me of my father and my childhood. Love it.

I believe the streetcar with the "cowcatcher" at 7:39 and 8:40 was one of the "Radial" cars that went up to Lake Simcoe from North Toronto Terminal, which was at Glen Echo & Yonge. From North Toronto Terminal it took 2:45 to reach to top of the line. It ran along the side of Yonge St., and wasn't fast- legislated to top speed of 20mph. Andrew Merrilees Inc. bought and scrapped it in 1948. In the 8:40 clip you can see the rear trolley being pulled down and the front one put up, they were going to reverse out of there- no turning loop.

+synthfreakify You have a sharp eye, and you're very knowledgeable re a radial system that existed so long ago. By 1935, those cars were only running to the north end of Richmond Hill, having been cut back in 1930. I never rode on one, but I saw them in Willowdale and they seemed to be faster than 20MPH. A friend of mine, who did ride it, still claims 50 MPH down the Hogg's Hollow hill. They did have their own loop at Glen Echo on the north side of the 'station'. The Yonge cars and trailers turned on the south side, using a city block.

Casual, everyday clothing around the world were more dressy (dressy, to modern views). And there wasn't a "casual" category. You just wore the clothing. There was still a a formal level, which was super formal tux and ballgowns. It wasn't until the 1960s, especially the 1970s when clothing became very casual and reached the daily clothing of today. Although it could be said that today's is too casual that it's gone sloppy and off-course.

Nowadays Toronto is "red-light city" with a traffic signal every two blocks with only two speeds permitted for motor traffic:- "dead stop" and "going nowhere"!

+Craig White I used to operate streetcars for the TTC back in 1996. I believe that 8:54 is at the Humber Loop. The loop that goes around that building near the end of the video, I thought was Danforth Division, but I didn`t recognize the building. But I do believe your right about Danforth Division at 1:11 to 1:48. There used to be a streetcar loop on the east side of the building where there is now a library. And on the south side of the building where the old bus bays were, there was a church. When the TTC took over the land they pulled down the church, and used the framework for one of the bus bays. At least that`s what I understand from a elderly fellow who was a mechanic there, for many, many years. He and I walked over to the the old bus exit entrance off of Coxwell, and he showed me the the impression of a cross that was still mildly impressed into the building right above one of the bus bay garage doors. He say`s this is where the church used to reside.

Not Humber Loop at 8:54. That loop was not built until 1957 or so, when the Queensway was extended from Etobicoke to link up with Queen St. at Roncesvalles and the streetcars were moved off of Lakeshore eat of the Humber River. Might be Jane loop.

Back then Toronto had very strict liquor laws; the Toronto Islands had less liquor restrictions, on Sundays fathers would encourage the family to go to the island, that way dad could have his beer and the kids would enjoy the rides. So back then Sundays were huge line-ups to go to the island; so much so that there would be charter taxi boats to handle the over flow of crowds.

Really nice, cool stuff, very interesting, awesome nostalgia. Grandparents and parents were alive in this period, each parent just few years old, looking at these not having been born at this time feel something been drawn to it, maybe because being my parent's child there,s a psychic residue,feeling what they felt as they were growing up in 30,s and later on ? Historical perspective to me is this: Another four years before Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster (was cousin of Frank Shuster 9:46 of Wayne & Shuster comedy duo.] would successfully debut Superman in Action Comics#1. Five years later Bob Kane would create Batman & would debut in Detective Comics #27, original Robin the boy wonder kid sidekick wouldn't appear till Detective #38 in 1940. At this point Walt Disney,s Mickey Mouse & other characters are becomining increasingly famous & popular, Warner Bros. characters as well, Merrie Melodies cartoons are popular & have the original Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd among others. (Porky Pig & Daffy Duck cartoons in black & white in world war II effort propaganda cartoon episodes come later.) Lol. Way overseas in Belgium Remi Georges ( or is it Georges Remi? ) who,s pen name is Herge is on the fastrack of making Tintin and his other characters world famous, though adventures of Tintin would definitely be his most famous of his creations with Tintin,s dog Snowy, of course. Popeye,from Thimble Theatre comic strip,s breakout hit character & subsequent supporting characters (Olive Oyl, Bluto a.k.a. Brutus, Wimpy) were also popular cartoon creations, if not totally, well on their way. Lol. 😅😊.

@ DragonPupEclipse Yes, there is no evidence to suggest that people WERE more civil back then and vice versa however, all we can go on right now is how people are now and in THAT case, @ Grant Chow is completely correct.
