As someone who drove up and down '69 for a long time, I'd always see the sign for the "Little Britt Inn," which had the names of the two owners on it. At one point I drove by that sign and the second owner, Teri, had a BIG red "X" over her name. I believe the Inn was sold after that. I always wondered what happened (but I could hazard a guess).

24 years ago, it was all crack city in that area there now it’s cleaned up because the minorities have bought the place and they won’t rent it out to crackheads and the crackheads are moving north to Sutton where the prices are cheaper

Used to live at Sherbourn and Dundas. Across the street from Sams, on the 21 floor. Sure the neighbourhood was sketchy, but where else in downtown could you get a one bedroom with a parking space for 1065 per month...I loved Toronto.

First housing projects in all of Canada! Maybe North America depending on the stats. It was a slum before the 50's. Definitely was a hood in the 90's and early 2000's.

You missed the axe. Take the road south in Britt and watch out. There was a crazy guy with an axe stopping your car and good luck! This used to be a port for gas coming in for the north. Moose mountain mine north of Capreol (noth of Sudbury) would send iron ore pellets by train to Britt and then by boat to the steel mills in Pittsburgh. Both industries are gone now.

Well, I don't know if I met your grandfather, but I met an older man named Vince outside the old Larry's Tavern nearly a half-century ago. At the time, I was making a habit of trying to find and learn traditional native wisdom and I kept a Journal then, and wrote about an encounter with another "white man" (like me) that we met in PAB. I was with two Ojibway elders and we were going fishing out near Hole in the Wall. One of the elders I was with got talking to a guy he knew as we had stopped in town for bait. The old guys knew each other, I could tell, by their easy banter. I remember Vince(nt) said something about how it was good in the spring but, now it was too warm. We went anyways and Idat in the boat thinking about how the cold water currents and the season affected fishing. (He turned out to be right!) I had never realized how complicated nature was, and how much there was to learn. I had always thought that a good fishing hole was, well, a good fishing hole. That comment was one of the few I heard back then that set me off on a life-long fascination with nature. Hope it was him, that would be an interesting connection to your video.

😊😊

My father was born there.

Have you been to Mississauga lately? every corner is the dogpatch there!

Not even close to the worst in Ont.

What a dump. Imagine buying half a house for probably a million bux and sharing walls with who knows what.

why people need these huge homes in the middle of an already beautiful oasis is beyond me. Some of them are tacky !

I grew up in this neighborhood in the early/mid 90s. I heard that there was lots of crime in 80s, but by the time I lived here it was pretty safe. In the mid 90s there were lots of issues at 225 Van Horne and Peanut itself. Things got cleaned up a bit and then by the early 2000s 335 Van Horne Avenue became the sight of a raid as there was a ton of criminal activity in the building. I'm sure you've heard of the stabbing at Georges Vanier too during their night school program in the 2000s as well. A group of Russian and Tamil students got into it and one person was killed. Things are much safer nowadays in the area.

What’s the location

I park up on the hill and watch trains go by

You might be Newmarket’s worst driver… and most of those homes are > $1 million.

Thank you..

I grew up in the patch back in the 60s and 70s it was a great neibourhood

D blocc💙 just yesterday there was a shooting though😢

Parkdale bud. Spot those buildings a mile away.

I know where this is and it doesn’t look like a slum it appears the majority of residents look after and take care of their homes ,in todays climate with house prices as inflated as they are I’m sure many people would consider themselves extremely fortunate to have a home and a piece of land to feel safe and secure in such a beautiful setting

You guys were so close to the old abandoned jail in burwash. You should really check that out

I live out in the bush an hour away from Britt. It's my closest LCBO!

"Book's Cottages" on the North Shore Rd. ... 😊

The patch was once a nice place then in the early 70s it’s went to shit

What about gilder drive

Toronto is a slum not this little slice of heaven

We

That gas station on hwy 69 is always 10c/L more than anywhere else. 🤨

Used to live on Septonne! This place is different for real. I lived in a basement apartment and the people above me were constantly partying. When I couldnt hear that I would hear ppl constantly arguing outside. Other than that its not like the bronx or something lol Thanks for taking the time to post this! I appreciate it

The less you have the easier your life. Bless the struggle.

this is where i was born -east york

IS THIS JAPAN NO ITS LEASIDE AND EAST YORK

Is Britt reservation land, because if it is, that is why it looks like that.....there are a numer of reservations up and down Hwy 69; we pass through as we go to Elliot Lake.

Approximately 40 years ago my parents and aunt and uncle went and vacationed at Byng Inlet. It was at a beautiful big old house the bottom of a steep hill, landing at the water. They had 3 cottages and had just bought the place and were fixing it up. I recall they had twin sons. My dad was a mechanic and went fishing on one of their boats, which promptly broke down lol his luck. In the middle of water he fixed the boat motor. When he arrived back and explained he was offered a job and a place to stay LOL He declined but i would have loved it. Everyone was so nice❤ thank you Byng Inlet❤

That was a pike on the road 🤦 Lol

Did I hear that right? You said Sudbury is very Liberal?

What's on your head lady😂

That plaza isn't forgotten, it is being torn down as part of the whole transit development going on.

That's nowhere near a ghost town. Some great fishing at Bying inlet.

Have spent years visiting Britt and the Inlet my father was born in Britt.

Whats up Matt?? _>Trevor Emery

What did you mean like parts of the United States?

Is this a rural slum? What a stupid question. To the people with silver spoons in their butts, maybe. Just looks like modest homes in a rural setting, people who enjoy hunting and fishing and less government. A few places that have garbage lying around, but you find that in any neighborhood. Most places take care of their yards. What is not to like.

Lots of ghost towns like this built near a sawmill or papermill which our pal trudy shut them all down one in Dryden is the only one Left in this corner of ontario

No matter how shitty the economy is even in the tiniest villages , everyone of em seems to have an l.c.b.o outlet lol

Looks like nice country quiet any lakes

Thanks Pal I'm on North shore road I came via Buffalo N.Y.

Please go to wallaceburg ontario. The downfall of what was is f%#&^ing astounding.
