1:48 Zumburger, I remember it well. Final track is "People City" by Tommy Ambrose, a native son. I really miss the Toronto I once knew. It has deteriorated over the years as I have!
I remember going to Sam the Record Man in the age of LPs -- remember them? -- and Sam could be spotted in his store with a huge roll of bills in case any cashier should run out. Vive la nostagie!
Growing up in Northwestern Ontario in the 70's, Toronto was the pinnacle of modernism for me. I ended up moving to the big city in the early -mid 80s, 25 years there. Such a boom during those years to now, tremendous building.
LOVE the old "Toronto Vehicles" including the 2 tone brown street cars and the red subway cars! You're one shy of the Toronto vintage vehicle triple crown - the yellow police cars. That's right kids - back in the day, Toronto's finest rocked solid yellow chevy caprices. I've never looked it up but we had to be the only city with yellow police cruisers
@@donmorfeo8901 I mean culturally diverse and vibrant. Less hidebound. Cleaner. More interesting architecturally, with greater opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators. That kind of thing.
I miss that time, although I was very young. Toronto actually functioned - and there were no ugly condos going up on every vacant piece of land!
I remember those good old days. Everything was so vintage back then. I miss the 70s.
I remember Toronto back then....A much simpler time, I miss it.
The best years ever !

If you were hanging round there frequently in the '70s, it's entirely possible you will have met my dad. It was his second home. :D

The Gardner Expressway of repairs & lane closures.
I've lived in Toronto my whole life and turned 20 in 1974. Fact is, Toronto is a whole lot more interesting now than it was then.
By interesting if you mean overcrowded, expensive, and self absorbed, then yes.

Toronto was at it's peak in the 80s, especially if you were in your 20s.
It hurt me to read that. Are u really serious or just virtue signaling?
Toronto in the 70s could be mediocre and boring but it was fun. Today Toronto is still mediocre and boring but it’s expensive, unlivable, and not fun.
