Lived in Sunny Side in late 70's and early 80's during the fishing season. Loved going to town. So many changes I see. I remember, Jeans North, the restaurants, Pagoda, movie theatres, pool hall, Civic Centre and in Port Edward Brad's Drive in. My first real job as a teen was dishwasher at Mr. Mikes. Beautiful memories.
@@tuckerparnell1712 Yes, I am two hours from Philadelphia. When I travel I go to Philadelphia airport taking the Pennsylvania turnpike. It is beautiful.
IF you like rain, I am working on a new series of driving videos that were shot last summer during a trip to the flat lands of Alberta. I went through some really nasty weather on highway 3. I will be working on time lapse travel on these roads in the coming days, in preparation for this years travels, which will be focusing on small towns in the BC interior, and less on the travel to those towns, kind of like I did on this one.
thanks for the tour...lived in Prince Rupert in the 80s worked at Prince Rupert steel and salvage located at seal cove...ready for a visit soon its been a few years.
The driver likes the waterfront, and we only get a brief glimpse of 3rd Avenue downtown. Reminds me so much of my bike rides around town as a kid. It definitely was a great place to grow up. :)
nice and cozy trip around town. I could visit in the summer but the snow in the winter would be too ominous for me. Also I like to ride my bike around town and this place is just to hilly for my taste. So I will stay in Vegas where its hot and flat. Thanks for the posting. It seems to be a super nice town.
5:27 There is the Famous Players Prince Rupert Cinemas located at 525 2nd Avenue West in downtown Prince Rupert. Inside the Famous Players Prince Rupert Cinemas contains three movie screens. It is owned and operated by Cineplex. But most of all it is the only movie theatre located in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
Where I live, right on the west coast, right along the US border we don't get bad winters. Has dipped to -4C this year and today is +2. Unlike Vancouver 30 miles north which has had snow for the past month, we have none. Everything green, and roads bare. We actually get 20% more sun that anywhere else in Canada.Couldn't pay me to move anywhere else. Our weather never gets too cold, or too hot.
I live in Prince Rupert. Funny story. A few years ago, we went to Portugal. One of our hosts bragged about how they get 300 days of sunny weather a year. I replied that we get 64.
Good old 'Rain City' BC. Spent a few years there in the early 70's working at the mill. Spent most of my pay at the Belmont Hotel! (7:43) Don't think I recognize the blonde babe crossing the street at 7:29 though!
Interesting, the whole northwest coast of North America is like a "mirror image" of the southwest coast of South America, south Chile/Argentina, called Patagonia. They are about the same size from Victoria to Skagway or Puerto Montt to Ushaiua, 1500 km long, rainforest, mountains, fiords, islands, remote, mostly empty, just a few small towns, differences in culture, language and politics obviously.
I'm interested in Prince Rupert. I just wonder if the city will be a bigger one someday. (When the economy gets better.) Another big city in BC. And if the city has spare place to expand.
I only stayed there 1 night, and stayed at the motel on the hill behind the mcdonalds. (You can see it right at the end) Had lunch down at Smiles seafood, it was excellent. I stopped and looked at places all over town, went to the fire museum and saw some old vintage firefighting gear. I had my son with me, and he was bored of sight seeing at this point and was home sick, which made for a fairly uneventful visit, because he didn't want to get out of the car. Got a phone call about his playstation 1 that he had for sale, and as soon as someone was interested in buying it from him for 50.00 that was his focus, screw the rest of the holiday I want to get home so I can make 50.00! What I would like to do is drive to rupert, and take the ferry to Alaska, and then drive back, or take the inside passage back to Vancouver island. That ferry ride is pretty expensive though when you have a car to transport. Still would be some breathtaking scenery of Glaciers and stuff.
Could you put occasional street names on the screen, either the name of the road you are on or those that intersect. Just so I can find it on google maps. Being able to see restaurants, super markets, drug stores and hotels is just awesome for those of us who are traveling through town. Since the ferry leaves early or drops us off late we can navigate directly to the needed location instead of driving around. This is a big help! Thanks for doing this. Travelers from Ohio.
was there in 76 work at the pulp mill left in august 24 and got hired at ford aug 30 in Windsor now retired with big pention still think I made a mistake would love to go back I think I will
Thanks. I have many more to put up, both time lapse and normal speed. The entire run to Prince Rupert, then to Valemont BC, and back to Vancouver is in the can awaiting work. There are 2 more trips that I have documented, one to the Yukon, and down the Alaska Highway, and another traveling Hwy 3 over the crows nest pass to Medicine Hat Alberta, and back via the Trans Canada through Calgary that are also in the works, and will show up sooner than later. Now that I have my royalty free music library I have no excuse for sitting on the footage any longer.
a bunch or a few peopel i knew when i was youynger went out to BC idk what for ive never been there i hear its pretty and i really dont know why peope went out there..the rent here in Prince Rupert i heard is like oveer 3k a month how the heck can anyone afford that? i mean if wages coincided with it then maybe but youd need 6 figures a year just to pay rent..i mean this beauty comes at a cost apparently..regardless it looks very nice and would be a welcomed change form Ontario.
I think 3k for prince Rupert would be high. Vancouver perhaps. My daughter lives in Richmond and her rent is only about 1550 a month. Where I am a single bedroom apartment about 1800. Have a friend that rents an entire house and he is paying around 3000 but that's for a house. Last time I rented I paid 425 a month. That was back in 86. Hell my mortgage is think when it was at its highest was only about 1600. That was awhile ago. I couldn't afford one today. But going back to the early 90s, being a tech meant it was very hard to get a mortgage when I wanted to buy. I had saved 50% of the purchase price of the tiny house that was on the property now. I went to multiple banks and they basically told me to get a real job and come back to see them. They didn't care how much I had saved to put down. They basically said I was in a dead end job and wouldn't be working long enough to pay off. Had to do shady work with a broker to get accepted. Then I paid it off in 10 years.
I'm disappointed that you left out the notorious Red Light district of PR. Tales of the seamy side of PR are bandied about by sailors of all the seven seas and yet there's not a glimpse to be had in this sanitized video.
Sanitized video? I have no idea where this"Red light district" was. I was only there for 1 day. I was on a road trip with my son. He got home sick and wanted to go home. Got to the point where he refused to get out of the car to see anything. So trip was cut short and we came home.
Tried to pick out recognizable figures: Saw Mrs. H and the fammily near the end kinda looked like the islandwolf fammily. Not sure when but it will be great to see 'homme' again!!! isabelydancer00
unless im a multi millionaire i dont think i can justify paying over 3k a month for rent..and if i were a multi millionaire i wouldnt be paying that anyway..maybe for a short period to say i lived there but thats probabyl it..
You have to be a millionaire to live where I live. You won't find anything under 1.5m and that's a tear down. New house just went up 1 block away on the market for 3.8m. That makes me a multi millionaire. No I don't pay rent and don't know what a mortgage is.
I have to use royalty free music or the copyright holder will take on the money generated by advertising. That would defeat the purpose. I only do these because I make money on them. The youtube channel is for me a business venture, a business to run in my retirement years which are approaching quickly. So I have to use royalty free music, and the vast majority like it.

Yes it does. I like it where I live. Never gets too hot or too cold. I also have the Pacific Ocean walking distance from my house.
ok cool were is that ?
They are all up on the channel now. Here is a new one, a storm in Tofino BC,ruclips.net/video/WsywD6cUs_Y/видео.html
BC needs to get rid of Christi Clarke
Wow, takes me back 30 years! Lived there from '89-'91. Very overcast and rainy. Recognized a lot but a lot's changed since then. Thanks.
Reminds me of southeast Alaska
It still rains a lot 😅

Thanks for the lovely video, from PR now in Vancouver, I missed the old Dq across the city hall. I need a road trip back to PR.
That's not city hall. It's the court house. City hall is a couple of blocks up third Ave.
I use to pass through prince ruport on the Alaska marine highway ferry! Beautiful place
Thanx for the tour of one of my hometowns

The opening downhill looks so odd to me because it did not exist when i lived in Rupert.
I have been looking to escape Canadian winters but hear Prince Rupert has over 300 days of overcast per year?

Hey, thanks so much for your response. Greatly appreciated. I will definitely travel out this summer and check out the area.
The winter months are gale winds,lots of rain.A damp cold.

Wow, wow, I used to live here in the 90’s, kootenay ave/st I can’t remember, grew up here, … love the video
Worked there for a while. The only place in the world were you can get abalone burger at the A&W.
Not anymore. No abalone left and no A&W either.

Thanks I've been home sick this made me happy
Rupert. That little coffee shop at Cow Creek is super! Every woman that works there is a former MISS CANADA.
Thinking of visiting Prince Rupert in the near future. What are the best hotels and places to visit here?
I only stayed there 1 night, and stayed at the motel on the hill behind the mcdonalds. (You can see it right at the end) Had lunch down at Smiles seafood, it was excellent.
