Toronto Walk along Dundas & Little Portugal (Narrated) on Aug 7 [4K]

[@rgsulpoa]

I don't know much about Canada's history but it's remarkable how your country manages diversity so well, specially in Toronto. 👍

[@ericdouglas7039]

Great video. Little Portugual was my favorite area of Toronto along with Kensington Market. What audio set up do you use when filming? Your mic picks up everything perfectly

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks! I use a Shure MVL mic recording externally.

[@fahmidalutfullah361]

Enjoyed this walk! Thanks for the restaurant and food suggestions like Sukothai and khau soy! Got to try it. Yes, Lakeview is famous for a number of movies being filmed there...the newest being "shape of water"! Also the food there is reasonably price and quite amazing!

[@JohnnyStrides]

You're welcome and I agree. The Lakeview is a gem, I've always enjoyed eating there and am usually pleasantly surprised when the bill comes!

[@33millst.4]

so nostalgic...

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks for watching :)

🚴‍♂️As a cyclist on the street here in my 45k populated home town, despite the laws, I had to be hyper vigilant and I could not give motorists the benefit of the doubt. (That was forty years ago and no one wore helmets). Moving to Toronto was an entirely different experience and I seldom rode there. When my daughter rode her bike there a few years ago, she fell a couple of times and got some large and nasty-looking scrapes down the length of her leg. (She was probably going too fast). My concern for cyclists these days is that altercations with motorists will obviously cause a great deal of anguish and confrontations will distract a rider and that can increase the danger, so I hope everyone picks their battles carefully. (You are clearly even tempered when you ride, so I’m glad of that). Also, when you said “downtown”, near the end of the video, this little song popped into my head: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nafPhnuJpMZrfpY

[@JohnnyStrides]

Very well said Vera! And I had a feeling that would be the song but then you linked the Groundskeeper Willie version, amazing!!!

[@quizkitten9641]

We left the city, and these videos make us feel like we’re home.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I'm glad you find value in them!

[@gambleviso7726]

Good channel, I am traveling in Toronto Canada without leaving the house .... when are you going to the Niagara Falls ..?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Your'e welcome. Hopefully I can get there soon!

[@NewYorkWalker]

Great walk Johnny. Greetings from a fellow walker in NYC

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thank you sir and best of luck with your channel. Say hi to ActionKid for me if you see him walking around (which is likely!).

[@NewYorkWalker]

Johnny Strides thanks for the comments. Will def say hi to AK. Have been doing it virtually for now.

[@BAIRESWALKER]

Great walk in Toronto my friend. I like this place! like 107

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks~ 👍

[@woody_fromda6ix206]

Wow this is where I grew up that’s my high school across the street was where my best friend lived I’m not gonna say to much bc if your from that area you’ll automatically know what group of people I and my group let’s say was either way this brings good memories and some bad when the video starts the bar he walks by something tragic happened that change the whole neighbourhood and broke a lot of bonds I’ll leave it at that peace Definitely more than 50% Portuguese my friend

[@CityWalks]

🍎👍 Great summertime walk. Loved the murals around the 5:00 mark. Stay safe up there. -H

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thank you and yes, those are great and add a lot to the neighbourhood!

[@starshine9147]

haha I would need crib notes to remember all the names and places .. thank-you for narrating so well

[@JohnnyStrides]

You're very welcome! I did have notes for the restaurants filmed at Lakeview Restaurant lol. It's too awkward to hold and read off something in one hand while holding the camera in the other so I just do my best to remember what I can :)

[@sophaman9193]

Hi! If you go to Thailand don't forget go to my birth country Cambodia too it's beautiful. Thank you for your video. Bye from Milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@JohnnyStrides]

I went to Cambodia in January! It was my second time and I will be back :)

[@canonto2008]

Artists have been moving into the neighbourhood in the last 10-15 years as well. There are quite a few pop up galleries on Dundas.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Very true (I don't know how I didn't mentioned this). I believe some have migrated from Bloor Street West around Landsdowne to the north when the rents jumped in that area.

[@pauly5418]

The Shape of Water won 4 Academy Awards in 2018 including Best Picture and Best Director. Guillermo Del Toro is a Mexican director who has been living in Toronto.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I somehow did not know any of that, thanks for the info!

Great really walk👍🚶‍♂️💕

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks! 👍

[@rosaannarilli4905]

You talk about the movies that were filmed at Lakeview Restaurant 24:47. In the late 1990s a movie was filmed in my parents home in Scarborough, I could not stay to watch as I had to go to work. I was never told what the movie was called.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Oh wow, I hope you finally figure out what that movie was at some point!

[@rosaannarilli4905]

@@JohnnyStrides I've asked many times but no, to this day I still don't know.

[@xxdarkslayerlord1922]

Nice vid as usual dude, if I ever visit Toronto again, and I spot you out with your camera, you mind if I say hello? xd

[@JohnnyStrides]

There's a few of us doing this here but if you can recognize me sure! As long as you don't mind being in one of the videos :)

[@DechenVlogs101]

Please do a tour of Mt Pleasant road (MT pleasant village) and manor road .. it’s beautiful
