This is a stark contrast to what the town looks like today!

I moved to Leamington on Dec.8, 2021. From what I can see in the film is that Leamington used to be a very nice clean town. There is a walking path that goes from Seacliff up to Oak St. Behind Food Basics and Freshco. There is so much litter and trash in that so called creek, it's filthy. Also litter and trash in other parts of this town. Leamington is a lot busier than I thought it would be. There is no small town feeling here.

@@lh3168 : This is very, sad. I spent my summer of 86 there, and have fond memories of the place. I was 20 at the time, I'm 57 now. Have thought many times, about visiting again. An attempt to recapture my youth, I don't know. But from what you say; I would not recognize the place now. I remember taking that trail down, over Seacliff. There is a little beach there, from what I remember. I'm from Newfoundland myself, so it ended up being one of my favourite spots to hang out. There was also, this lovely, little, restaurant at the end of this peer, that I really, enjoyed going to, as well. Is that still there? Warmest Wishes. Be Well and Safe. Out. 😊🖐🏼

0:58 - This is wild. This was recorded the very year I visited Leamington on a summer, work term. Spent a few weeks out, on one of the farms, then the rest of my time in Leamington proper. I was just, 20 at the time. It has become one of the more, nostalgic memories of my summer of 1986. I'm from Newfoundland by the way, and living in Gander at the time. I now, reside in St. John's. Leamington is a lovely, little, place that I would not mind visiting again. Much Love and Warmest Wishes. Be Well and Safe. Out. 🙂🖐🏼

It was named after Leamington, England

Best Mexican food in Ontario!

Back in the 1970s to 1990, it was a great place to live. Today all you see is a drug-infested town with tons of theft going on and nothing done about it. Today you can't even buy a home unless you are a doctor or lawyer and if you do manage to buy a house you are not just dealing with a mortgage but also the ridiculous property tax they hike almost every year, There's way too much greed in this town they make it very hard for people to live here.

Too bad it's not the same town anymore.

Leamington where your property tax keeps going up while people are already struggling to survive and let's not forget all the theft and drugs this town has to offer.
