@@pacman3556I was 5 in 1987 and this is the Toronto I grew up in. You don’t need to be a boomer to have a memory. I’m a millennial. You really need a new word, boomer is soooooo played out 😂😂
Nice to see the OLD Science Centre, before the Weston Family "refit." I miss that old Laser Exhibit and the holograms so it was really nice to see those here in this video. Did you know that Rick Green of the Frantics (who was "Bill" on the Red Green Show) used to be the presenter of that old laser show?
Wait… I watched that show every week … they knew me by name back in the late 70’s early 80’s. I have several pieces of woof and plexi STILL from those demos.
Hyperinflation didn’t erode the middle class, inflation has been at historic lows for a very long time apart from a couple years during covid. Wages not keeping up with inflation, even as low as that inflation has been since the 90s is what has eroded the middle class, along with a spike in housing costs.
Now, that's the Science Centre, CN Tower, and city that I once knew and loved (yes, loved, in the past tense).
yeah you keep living in the past boomer.
@@pacman3556 You'll never know how civilized it was.

Looks far better now.
Back when life was great in Toronto. It's imploded now.

This brings back memories. Thank you very much.

Cool video! Toronto sure had a lot of parking lots back in the day, lol
Oh how I miss those days, I fondly remember those weird lights on the Gardner too... good times.
Those orange lights plus motion sickness always made that route an ordeal for me as a kid.
Beautiful Toronto. ❤😘
This is the same year and city where I was born. The highways looked so different back then. I drove the Gardener Expressway a few times.
Hwy427 by Cloverdale mall area
Good times those were, in university and having fun

Is that the Ontario Science Center near the beginning of the video?
Yes
Looking down. No Sky Dome yet. No Scotia Bank Centre. Wow.

Lol! Where are all the condominiums?😆🏢
Best times
if the "City Planners" could only go back in time....
At that time also looking like 2024
I hate 2024. I want to go back to the summer of 1987 and just stay there
Yong & Dundas area looks much safer ...
Toronto the Good
Now that's when Toronto was a Canadian city. It's been overrun since.
yay ! science center footage 😁 suck it Ford 🤨
Before hyperinflation eroded the middle class.
