    • @transittoronto
      @transittoronto 11 дней назад

      It's still pretty safe today. I've been out and about in the late hours without trouble. I remember, fifty years ago, there were places in Toronto you weren't supposed to go if you wanted to be safe. Places like Regent Park, or Donvale. I think the dangers of those neighbourhoods were exaggerated then, and the safety concerns of today are exaggerated now. You should always walk with street sense, and be aware of what's around you, but that's always been the case. I love my city today as much as I did forty years ago.

    Thanks for this. I still see Kingston Road between Victoria Park and Queen St. East as the artery of my life. Between 2.00 and 3.05, Richard Glaze is shooting from the north side of Kinston Road, first north and then south of my parents's first house at 544 Kingston Road. Demolished in the mid-1980s. They lived there from 1951-54. We then moved to 218 Balsam, just behind Sherrin's Funeral Home, shown at 4.01. That house was demolished in 2014 or so. And that whole block with Sherrins' and the YMCA was likewise demolished and redeveloped. In February of 1957, in a blinding snow storm, we moved to 293 Silver Birch, which was in the family until 2001. It was subsequently renovated, the interiors transformed into a glitzy palace. Walking along Kingston Road, I went to the shops, stores and local schools. For years we took the streetcar from the stop at the top of Scarborough Road to Queen and Yonge to shop at Eaton's and Simpson's. Yes, there's was life beyond Yonge Street. Whenever I'm in the city, I drive along Kingston Road and the streets that branch off it. Now 55 years later, it's haunting to see it in the summer of 1969. Seemingly, other than where I lived, for the most part, the buildings. and houses on Kingston are the same, endure. The people are different. Thanks

    • @transittoronto
      @transittoronto 3 месяца назад

      I still ride the system for fun (I call it taking a long walk with assistance). You have to pick your times. The system also had a reputation for packing them in back in my day (the eighties -- that's when they initially talked about a Downtown Relief Line to deal with the humungous crowds at Bloor-Yonge), and we had our fair share of rowdy drunks and teens in those days (wasn't nice to share a car with them). We tend to forget the distressing stuff in the past, while being confronted with it in the present. I think the fact is, there's been good and bad things about this city for as long as it has been a city.
