Remember Hallams on younge street a gun shop in the heart of Toronto! That is gone since they let in the jihadis.Thanks Liberals for screwing up the country. Sociopaths.

Now toronto is such a dangerous place to live

Doesn't look anything like Karachi.

Yonge street looked pretty filthy n ‘74…🤷‍♂️

I was 1 year's old. I think this might have been the year they started building the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.

Hercules Surplus where you could buy new in the grease Long Branch made Lee Enfields for $25.00.

The Hare Krishnas outside Sam’s. They used to show up at Loyola College, Montreal, as well. I don’t know where their ashram was.

starvin marvins...the beginning of the alphabet nightmare

Safe, Clean, Friendly and thriving that was Canada before the current madness

Great flick! I was 15 and now 64. This brings back good memories of old.

Is was born in Regent Park 1960 and basically grew up on Yonge Street. This just brings back soooo many memories. Thanks for posting.

When toronto was a good safe city..not anymore..

find more vids like this, you will be able to see the lie for yourself on demographic breakdowns. back then africans were ~ 15% of the population. now they say it's dropped to below 14% yet no matter where you look - it's as if you were in the west indies where there too africans have become the majority.

I was 14 years old and bought most of my records at sams or A&A, got a drink at the papaya hut and a sub at Mr submarine , then to the arcade . You always saw the Hare Krishna down town. Brings back great memories..

Outstanding . Oh how I miss Sam the Record Man . I spent a lot of Saturday mornings there in the late 60s and early 70s . Thanks !

I was in Toronto 1974 and I enyoid it very much. At that time I turned to 21 years. Now I am already 71 years old 😢😊

Ah the good old days! Before the French Controlled Central Gov't sold us out while doing everything they could to preserve their own "country".

More Starvin Marvins !

It wasn't too diverse back then

Shocking how filthy the streets were back then.

I have lived my entire life in Toronto. I turned 20 in 1974. Unlike a lot of folks my age I really don't look back at those days with rose-coloured glasses. As this video make clear, Toronto was dirtier, scruffier, less interesting all round. Great video, BTW.

Wow, that really brings a whole bunch of great memories!! ✌️👍

The Hare Krishnas made me LOL. Gawd, they were annoying.

Look how thin everyone was.

Sam the Record Man. “ got any third Reich marching music”? 4rth floor!

I loved the imperial 6. Actually everything back then was better

💖🙃

It was about this time I went down to Sam’s and bought the original Lynryd Skynard album with them in fire. I believe they were using helicopters to put up the CN. tower on that day. In a way, it was on that day at 15 that I knew (GNOSIS) what Toronto was and who owned it and why things have happened in the way they have. And yeah...I busked in the pit at Dundas and Young between 79 and 85...I still have the guitar that has the dents when coins hit it:-P

I forgot all about Zumburger. Nothing remarkable about it accept the name.

But what pronouns were they using?

I remember slum street very well.

Back before all the "world class city" nonsense.

Memories... Hook up with the boys after work on a Friday. Start off at Yonge St Station for 50 cents draughts ordered by the tray. Sometimes we'd head over the Old Spaghetti Factory for a bite or just hit one of the many pubs on Yonge. Tons of live music back in the day. The Gas Works was great rock club. Not too hard to take a gal home after. Once things closed, 1 am back in those days we'd usually hit the Happy Lucky Chinese food joint at Bloor St or head up to Yonge and St Clair and hit Frans all night diner for bite to soak up the booze and head home. No bar fights. No shootings or stabbings. No BS. Just a great night out on the town. Really miss those days

Great to see old videos of Toronto. I see a lot of comments where some people feel that it was safer while others say it was pretty seedy. On one hand I remember travelling downtown on my own when I was 15 to buy art supplies and I would go out and about on my own at about 12! Then again I remember being in my late teens and heading downtown and being followed by guys and creepy guys walking by and making comments. And yes I just wouldn't walk down certain parts of Yonge street.

I emigrated to Toronto Canada from England in 1974, this brings back memories for sure.

before it became a s//thole

I was the guy at sam's and I was very polite and forthcoming with admiration and pontalnax with booky booky.

Toronto was so nice back when people had civil liberties

no screaming protesters.

Around the time of my first enchantment with T.O.

Whoah, memories! I was 5. Imperial 6 = Star Wars / Close Encounters.

I could easily have been in this video! The only thing they missed was the Church of Scientology!

oooohhhhyes

oooohhhhyes----1974

Dang I remember going g to that theater.

Wow, Toronto was mostly white back then.

It looks like a Depression

Yonge St. used to be fun! Too bad it got ruined...

Wonderful video, I spent a lot of time on the strip way back in the day. It's great to look back in time. Thanks man.
