    Most of the new town area should have some type of Heritage Designation Protection, if not already. I hope to come check Don Mills out one day soon!

    I was really looking forward to seeing this video but sadly it fell flat for me. It lacked not only in script from the host (who barely said anything), but also the very restricted camera shots and panning around in the spaces was pretty disappointing. This video had great potential but it turned out to be just plain boring. Sorry for the critical comment but it's an honest perspective; no disrespect intended.

    This should be re-done with a more natural approach to conversation and exploration of the space. The lack of seeing some things out of shot; adding aiming at people's faces and the ridged script, is tiring to listen too

  • @andyrobinson7007
    @andyrobinson7007 2 місяці тому

    There's another time capsule in one of the towers. Near the end of construction one of the steel beams was painted yellow and set on low blocks in the square in front of the building. My mother took my brother and I downtown and when she realized we actually could write our names on it, she gave us her lipstick and we wrote our names on the beam. It was hoisted up and added to the structure. So somewhere at the top of one of the towers is a yellow I-beam with a bunch of graffiti on it including my name and my brother's name in red lipstick. And yes, the scripted dialogue of this video is a bit lame.

    In 1972 I was taken by my parents to dine at the 54th - as the restaurant in the TD Tower was called. I will never forget looking down onto the roof of the Royal York hotel and marvelling at how high up we were. I also remember the waiters making Spanish coffees at the table-side, and their showmanship as they poured from a carafe held three feet above the cup. Haven’t been anywhere quite so spectacularly impressive since!

I can't get a job right now and I'm watching this. My Mom is giving me a hard time about losing my job and ironically she worked for the TD Bank for whole career.

    I toured this place back in the 1980s. There was a bank vault in the basement with huge tall doors. the door was over six feet thick. And there were many gold bars stored there. It looked like something out of the movies.
