My favourite video yet! I love how you incorporated old maps, current maps and took the time to walk us through the areas you were talking about. So easy to follow and super interesting to see all of the changes! Toronto has so much history
This is a very informative video. Actually, I directed my first movie in Toronto and much of it was filmed on front street inside the CBC Studios and I showcased the waterfront area. You’ve got a great channel Eric, keep up the great work.
nice little channel. Subscrived. Keep up your enthusiasm and great outlook. Look forward to more. esp. about the glacial paced transit lines boring through some of the most powerful black hole money pits ever seen in these parts.
I very much enjoyed the tour of the East Bayfront. I hope the powers that be can allow this area to live up to its potential. You're probably the last person I should suggest this to, but I would love to see someone explore some of the older neighbourhoods that will very soon disappear and be but a memory, due to demolition and redevelopment into new highrise structures. It's a growing list so it wouldn't be difficult to locate them.
Just stumbled onto your channel because of my interest in the development of Toronto. Thank you for putting this informative one out there. I like the addition of pictures mock ups of whats by to come. History is a great addition and I think the amount was just enough. Maybe you can have a section at the end that gives more of your two cents on what you think will help the neighbourhood thrive or what you’d personally like to add to it. Could be cool ideas, and who knows maybe someone in the city will watch and implement the ideas.
I always wonder about the depression and anxiety someone must go through when a new building is being put up and you are going to lose your view of everything. Imagine you had the view over the lake and then a few years later you're looking at a building instead.
It can definitely be tough. Especially for owners where this is their biggest asset and it may not be possible financially, to move somewhere else. The best you can do is research around your area when purchasing to see if anything is coming in the next few years.
Amazing info. Too bad Toronto is ruining the waterfront with all condo’s, need some green / retail / restaurant space. Take some hints from other countries like South Africa / Cape Town where they did an amazing job creating the V&A waterfront and transforming their silos into a magnificent hotel. Loved the video, very informative and look forward to seeing more on history and development. ❤
I agree. Whenever I travel I have the same thoughts. You don’t realize it until you experience better. I was recently in Panama and even they have an amazing waterfront. You have ocean then running/cycling trail then grass/park space then road then condos.
I think they butchered the eastern Queens Quay waterfront.. they should have patterned the waterfront like Queens Quay West of Spadina, or like what they did in southern Etobicoke where the park and trails are right on the waterfront... right now, it's a wall of condos blocking the water with pavers ( fyi, I have lived on QQ since 2003 ) ... great history background and excellent video !!! 😊 Ps Redpath should move to Oshawa or Hamilton to free up prime waterfront... Redpath could build a state of the art facility and help diversify Oshawa's or Hamilton's economy and create more jobs in their respective areas
👀Even if they tear down that Loblaws or whatever building that is Please don't fill in every nook and cranny with more Jenga block buildings Put a brand new Loblaws building identical to the outgoing one or just leave the area clear as park space 🤞😐🥴☹️😳👈 👍😁
I had not seen the proposal for 307 Lakeshore E before. that looks pretty cool and helps get rid of that last bit of industrial dreck from the area and will bookend that stretch of the waterfront nicely. and Aqua Luna has turned out very nicely indeed. I wish the office buildings that are more in the central section had been built with more interesting shapes like the residential has been. the offices are far too boxy and bland for my taste of what deserves to be on the waterfront.
How many 3 and 4 bedroom units are they going to build. The city is full of studio and one bedroom units that very few people want for more than a few years. Families need somewhere to live.
The Redpath factory should not be moved, they should update/modernize it and add a restaurant. The city is full of poor quality condos, of course the city loves it because of all the property tax it's collecting. They need to add restaurants and outdoor space. Government nightclub used to be where the parking lot is now, that was a good decision to get rid of it.
I love this style of video of yours! I love learning about my city - thank you 😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

This video is amazing. Do a more in depth video of central harbourfront!
