I'm 70 and living out in Pickering now. I moved out of Toronto at the end of 2010 after I lost my job. I use to love to walk around the city and visit the different neighbourhoods. In this way it allowed me to take in the energy of the city at that time. I really appreciate the work your doing here. Not only does it allow me to keep in touch with things in the big city but I can't help but feel that these walking videos you're doing will one day be valuable time-capsules for people in the future who want to visit this era in the city. And it helps that you have a very good road-side manner...thanks again from an old guy.

Likewise. In the late 70's, it was like a ritual to finish work on Friday, and go downtown to socialize. It is so good that Johnny keeps us "old folks" in the loop. Oh my, the city has changed. It doesn't take long for a city to change.

Toronto night life just isnt the same anymore. You don't feel and hear that buzz in the streets on a Friday night. Miss those days

Awesome night walk Johnny! I enjoyed seeing the lively club scence/atmosphere on King W. My clubbing days are looong gone. Rather hang out at a low key bar w/snackies, drinks, & good friends,lol😁 Job well done!🤗

Enjoyed the sights 😊 Thanks Johnny.

I love this video clip of all the Bars and Disco Bars and fine dining. I will be going down soon. Very colorful pubs and restaurants.

Love your videos

Great job Johnny

You can't compare to how the streets were in 2010,, just isn't the same.

Great video, I enjoy people watching 😮

Good morning

Good morning!

Remember seeing the 'mini volcano' Royal Thomas Hall built and completed in 1982.

I love that street. A few friends moved from Edmonton to Toronto to manage the recently opened Greta across from Ruby Soho

Enjoyed seeing the nightlife. @51:43 Always great to be walking with you.🤣

Nice night walk Johnny

Ahh man - doesn’t look like much has changed…used to frequent the Brant house on Wednesdays and Thursdays when I live in Toronto (2007-2009)! Wonderful city…fantastic memories!

good morning everyone

Yes yes 🎉❤

"Thank you so much for walking". Hahahahahah, I like that! You did all the walking, but it fits well with this kind of video. You should end all of them like that! xD

I was never on King much aside from the Wheat Sheath but that walk down Queen past the Cameron/ Shoe/ Riv and the Bull. Dude it almost made me cry

seems like some of us missed the golden era of toronto :(

I'll never understand what continues to motivate people to stand in line for an hour, waiting to get into a mediocre bar/club, just so they dance all night and blow their cash on overpriced drinks. It's crazy how many people do this ritually every single week, hoping to get lucky and meet someone. All the dudes are trying to get lucky and bring some chick home for the night, usually getting blown off. Most of the women are either getting wasted with their friends or sitting and scrolling through dating apps. Really weird culture we're living in now.

It sounded like a lot of people were talking about you, making references to Instagram and stuff.

Those cops were getting paid to talk to chicks basically

Just a suggestion about your videos. Let us feel the vibe of the city with our own thoughts, let us imagine and think how it would feel if it were us. Your comments kind of take away that ability to imagine it.

Gotta say, I really enjoy walking around with you especially when you go around places I'm familiar with. @ 31:00 you come off of Portland onto Queen. I lived at 571 Queen W back in the day and loved seeing it now. The place called the Velvet Underground used to be Club Safari and there was an amazing Hungarian restaurant just east of that. @ 31:36 My place was on the right side of the alley above Avalon Audio (later Hogtown Cycle). I used to park my truck there with no permit! That club on the left side of the alley used to be an A&P grocery store a long time ago!

I don't understand how (pedestrian) traffic lights work in Toronto. You're not supposed to cross the street on a continuous red+yellow light, I suppose. But for an allowing signal, some of them will show a cold blue light for a few seconds and change it into a blinking red+yellow palm (the international symbol STOP, by the way) and some will show continuous cold blue light. Who the hell even thought it was a good idea to start with? Here, in ex-USSR territories, red is for not allowed and green is for allowed to cross the street. End of the story.

Now do a Vancouver night life walk! No real night life, but somehow, you can get either stabbed or shot just for some human interaction.

No MASKS IN SIGHT

Limelight, Fluid, Money, Circa, Life, Easy on Fifth, Jet, Gspot, Plastique, Orchid, Power, Dirks, Vinnies, Whiskey Saigon, Granite Lounge, Joker, My Apartment, Al Frescos, Montanas, Crocodile Rock, Century Room, Mink Lounge, so many great spots for hook ups and wild partying. All gone. Today people just play on their phones. Most are asexual and have no interest in hook ups. Nobody dancing. Nightlife in Toronto is dead.

Something in this video seemed off. At 7:23 as you were turning the corner, there is a white male, bald with white rimmed glasses with his arm 'possesivly' around the shoulders of what appears to be a small MUCH younger Asian girl. What got my attention was when she turned around and saw you with the camera, her face was full of fear and terror and she did NOT look comfortable in the situation she was in. She looked like she was not happy being with this male. When he turned to see you, he seems to quickly whisper something to her and she quickly turned her head back. I viewed this section in a slower motion rate That "look" seemed to signal she was being held against her will and possibly trafficked. Now, im not 100% about this, but I am going to ask others to look at this point in the video and see what others have to say. Maybe im over-reacting. Maybe I'm right...
