Thanks Dennis!!!
thank you for that one. I no longer live in Toronto and never got the chance to see a show there. You have given me a chance to see the Great Mocambo.
This was a great video. That Church was beautiful. Interesting to see inside the Daniels building. Also enjoyed seeing El Mocambo.
A very interesting walk, this time taking a look inside rather than only passing by. Good job Johnny!
We did our first live event at the El Mocambo two years ago. Great venue.
Hi, Johnny. Thank you for yet another good walking video. Nice to see the El Mocambo again. See you in the next one. Yoink!
My old neighbourhood. So many memories, although so much has changed. You need to make a stop at Grossman's Tavern, a block further down on Spadina at some point soon. The grey house across Spadina at 3:53 above was home to the late Bill Banting, son of Sir Frederick Banting in the '70s. Some friends of mine were his housemates.
I love canada very much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, grew up in Toronto 1960-2000 and I remember the El Mo as more of a hangout dive bar when I went to UofT. Looks like a museum now.
awesome walk! cool sunglasses 😎
Спасибо за экскурсию, Джонни! Как всегда интересно и увлекательно! Самый лучший твой блог.
Beautiful video Johnny
Wow. The El Mocambo! I could almost 'feel' the spirits of some of the performers as you made your way through there Johnny.TY
Really enjoyed that thanx Johnny!
Good day/evening, Beautiful Johnny Strides & thank you very much for providing a continuing tour during the Open Doors or Doors Open event! Enjoyed the tour of the church & the Daniels building with their impressive architectural structures! That was quite a fantastic lineup of the legendary musicians whom have played at the El Mocambo! Those were the days,..long gone now! Thanks again & hope you had a good rest after the walk! Cheers & keep yourself safe!! 💖💖🦅🦅🦅🦅
I enjoyed the tour of the Elmo, JS! Thanks. 😊
good morning everyone
Thanks for the ElMo tour Johnny! I played there a couple times in the late 80's. It's a VERY different entity now! And expensive to see a show.
Went to the El Mo in 1988 just by chance. Some unknown local band was playing, then they started a conga line. The Barenaked Ladies. 2001. Was at Mandalay Bay in Vegas to see a concert. The Barenaked Ladies. And again back in June 1988, I was at the Horseshoe Tavern. Friday around 6pm. Some band was playing at the back I never heard of. $5 cover which I did not want to pay. it was The Tragically Hip. ah well...
Johnny I Appreciated 📸 👍😊

Oh wow, sorry you had to deal with all those loud horn noises. Must have been pretty irritating. Hopefully you were still able to have a good time. 😊

When are we getting more bike rides?
I still have the McLean and McLean album they recorded there.
I went down to the Palm Grove I was jumpin' around the room I was wearing my sneakers down And castin' away my gloom - Down By The Henry Moore, Murray McLaughlin
I was out biking on Sunday and bumped into those honking car guys a couple of times. Once in danforth and another on Dupont. I don’t recognize the flag but I assume somebody’s team won a football (soccer) match. Does anyone know which?
surprised u didn't get arrested for trespassing
