  • A walk through Toronto's "new" Bangla Town along Danforth Avenue in Toronto's east end which has a strong presence of Bangladeshi Canadian businesses. I start at Main Street Station and make my way over to Victoria Park Station.

    Your walking vids have an ASMR quality to it with the soft spoken narration and funny comments. Most travel vloggers would be yelling like "SO THIS IS THE CAFE AROUND THE CORNER AND JUST BEHIND THAT THERE'S AN AQUARIUM"

    I pass through here every few days or so. The local fb groups are all scare-mongering about Danforth and Main but I’ve only ever had positive/normal interactions with folks just going about their day. Really interesting part of our city imo, the juxtaposition of the misc towers and quasi suburban housing, proximity to transit, etc.

    Hi Johnny, it's always nice watching you walk through some of my old haunts, like this stretch of the Danforth, nice to see Duckworth fish and chips is still there as well as a few other places 👍. Wing Wing is still there but I didn't see what used to be my favorite pool hall, The Silver Cue. It was upstairs in the stretch where the Wing Wing restaurant is. Fun video 😊

    Nice! But if you'd filmed on a Sunday night on a stretch of Danforth, past Sibley Ave, you'd see how lively it gets. I'd say Bangla Town really begins there and goes east past Victoria Park Ave. With multiple condos in the works, the neighbourhood will change again, in a few years. Thanks for the video.

    Those "workers' cottages" on Albion used to be called Post-War Bungalows, because the government sponsored a whole lot of affordable housing, coupled with plentiful labour for returning soldiers. Early 1950's. Modest places, but they do the trick, especially for New Canadians just getting started.

    Johnny, your walk answered one question I put to Ken, but it raised another one. You walked by a school. Our schools are open and the neighborhood full of yellow school buses. There is extensive busing to allow parents to apply to school they think will be better than the closest one. Do GTA kids walk to school, take transit (some locals here do), or get a parental ride? My neighbors on the block with kids in two different schools just load them in the car and drive them. Oh, and the answered question was: If your residence doesn't have a laundry in the building, can you take it to a self-service. You walked right by one.

  • @JimMork
    @JimMork Год назад

    Possible answer. Looks like bus service is a for fee option. Otherwise a lady says kids need to enroll in their own neighborhood where they can walk. But seeing those streets reminds me of when I did walking to school. Only one risky street between home and elementary school. No school bus available (in Portland OR) but all of us survived the walking reqirement.
