All the beautiful old houses still on Sherbourne .... obviously all rentals now, but at least they are still there.
Lots of them have bad infestation problems but they are beautiful and have great design inside
That looks very peaceful and quiet. Going to Vancouver, Hastings & Main Street, it’s absolutely next level
He's there on a chilly Tuesday night. This place pops off on warmer weekend nights. It's a different type of scary than Hastings because of the project housing and the Jamaicans/Somalis, they don't play around. Hastings has a more brazen sidewalk drug market, but this area in Toronto has more gang activity
It is all cleaned up now, nothing really too crazy compared to 15-20 years ago, that time, yes, you didn't want to walk there alone at any given night. Now is all peaceful and quiet.
It's definitely not all cleaned up. It's a complete disgusting shit hole still.
Most of the blocks we saw, yes. But not Sherbourne & Dundas. There are shootings within 200 ft of that intersection regularly. Stabbings and muggings too. On the south sidewalk just steps eastward it's an open-air drug market in the late evening and small hours most nights when the weather isn't unbearable.
That's nothing now. My buddies and I used to drive around and walk in that area in the 80's early 90's, major sketchville back then. Hooker Harvey's on Jarvis was a hot spot.
Yep as young man, I would usually go there to fulfill my wants and my needs. Oh and the burgers there were great too.
Good morning HAPPY New Year I just found your channel in my feed. I watch all the toronto walkers. You are doing a great job I love the downtown ones lived downtown all my life mostly(from regent ) keep up the good work [johnny strides and Ken the continum] kept me going through covid . Great job have a great day
Interestimg perspective and insights into "Toronto the Good" - Keep it up!
I know the area very well as I used to work at the now demolished Wellesley Hospital on Wellesley and Jarvis Streets. The areas you walked through looks incredibly tamer than how I remember it. There were a lot more winos and crackheads and hookers walking those hallowed streets of the 70's through the early 2000's. I suppose all the condos developments has gentrified the area somewhat.
Most accurate statement about the area
He called an empty street with nothing going on “the craziest intersection in Toronto”😂 So bad, a stranger said have a good night”. Canadians I swear are so silly.
As many others have mentioned, the area is not as bad anymore. I think because many of the condo's popping up in the area. It's actually worse during the day but not like it was 20-30 years ago. I used walk down though that area all the time on my way to the Phoenix night club and I was always edge, especially after I got out of the club at like 2am. Someone else already mentioned Allan Gardens is still disgusting...lol.
George street still a open drug market... looks like you caught it on a quiet night, cuz these hoods are crazy af fr...
I use to work at Rosar Morrison Funeral Home at Sherbourne and Wellesley and they had a book that talked about the history of the area and that it was pretty affluent way back. Lots of photos of how some of the homes use to look. It’s definitely an area with problems but also some beautiful architecture and history.
brave woman standing at that dangerous bus stop - feel for her that she can't afford a cab/taxi.
20 years that will all be gone and more condo development will move in as this is a great location.
20 years ago it was much worst
honestly I feel like the city just does a better job at hiding it’s problems every decade
Back when the whole regent park was there close by and yeah it was bad
1995-2006
Regent -don mount
Yeah sure buddy, real tough streets of Toronto 😂😂😂😂😂
Sick society America & Canada. We don't have any of this where I've lived my life in SE Europe and East Asia. No. 1 people aren't like this and no. 2 society would not tolerate it in public space.
It's still as bad, you just didn't have an encounter - that spot you walked by Chamsine used to be an Irish pub, I watched a young man gets is brains splattered all over that alleyway behind it with the blue and yellow graffiti, dude just walked in, pulled a gun and shot him dead right there on the patio.
ill never forget these walks and streets for real. lived right beside Callahagn lane with my ex partner. heard the addicts all night
That thumbnail of the video gave me shivers lol
Hung out in that area in the 70’s to early 80’s , never had a problem. Met many great people.
It's still way better and safer than Vancouver downtown east side.
Not necessarily. Gun violence is also (and has also been) a BIG problem in the neighbourhoods directly to the north (St. James Town) and east (Moss Park / Regent Park) of this intersection.
Agree!
BLESS
Sadly, I have found far more people who neither live in the area nor know anyone who does are the ones who claim to know the most about of the area, further perpetuating the area's reputation as dangerous and/or "sketchy." That said, it does appear that there is a greater number of people suffering from homelessness and/or mental illness congregating but that is in part a result of greater access to social resources, such as food, housing, and medical care, within a smaller area. But, the social issues on display at Sherbourne and Dundas are prevalent throughout every city nationwide.
I live in Cabbagetown and walk through the area on an almost daily basis, all times of day and night. Not once have I ever felt unsafe or at all anxious of the area or those in it. But I also greet those I encounter as I would anyone else no matter the location.
No one chooses to be an addict. No one wants to be homeless. But, those individuals are relentlessly looked down upon by society which often fuels the shame they already feel further motivating a disregard for themselves and others.
I live The Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," which simply means, treat others as you'd like to be treated. As a result of so often walking through the area I have become acquainted with some individuals and learning what led to their ending up where they are highlights how easy it is to end up where they are.
I lived there back a couple of times, once in 2000 at Dundas and Ontario and once in 2006/2007 at Pembroke and Dundas. I can't believe it's just as bad even with all the gentrification.
How do you film without people knowing your filming?
50 X cleaner then NYC
Bro 15th sub here, good vid, and more importantly good luck with your chanel, keep up the good work, peace !
Appreciate it. Thanks. 👍🏻
please more videos about, another one subscribed here. hug from Brazil
Yah it was a ton more dangerous 15 years back. This is peaceful compared
It is fine 😊
Should have seen it when I used to hang out there in the late 90’s
People on their hands and knees everywhere trying to melt pebbles on the floor
Looks less active than i remember. Havent lived in the area for about 10 years. Just looked, Mary's is closed and so is Alfie's. Sad to see.
Still way safer than downtown Vancouver lol
Show people what it's like at that intersection at 2 a.m. in summer on the 2nd-last day of the month.
It's nothing today compared to how it was 20 years ago. This is tame
Were there as many random stabbings 20 years ago or is what's happening recently completely new?
@@ariesa9751lol there were fights in the middle of the intersection 24/7.
Stabbings , rapings, mugging, kidnappings , shootings, beatings, passed out people everywhere, security beat up some of the bad ones and tossed them into alleys.
Security guards stabbed.
The sheer number of people packed into those buildings and the drug fortresses with lookouts , guards , and many packing guns.
Naked people walking through the intersection all times of day.
I wish I'd filmed it all like i had thought back in '92

BTW back then Sherbourne & Dumdas was just the worst of scores of such intersections , and many other strips especially those with "projex" you would not believe it.
Hundreds of dangerous streets now all quiet since the pandemic.
walk through on a Saturday night lol
I shot a video over there yesterday. Did you feel unsafe at all during this walk?
Not really. I just walk through quickly and don't engage too much.
In Toronto at the min and it was worse during the day going through it on the ttc. Active drug taking and people rolling about on the ground.
Nothing compared to Hastings St. In Vancouver!
You've got a nice strong voice. You ought to be a voice actor, like those narrating audiobooks or something.
You walk right past it
My favourite song is if your scary mother fer to go church
maybe 25 years ago in tdot yes! No its not dangerous now, they clean it up .
I am from Russia you guys do not have any idea what dangerous is.
What would you consider a dangerous neighborhood in russia?
@@jesse73429wherever the government wants you dead. 😂😂
You should come video the most dangerous zone in the USA 😆
Are you trying to get the vid poster killed lad?
@eyecomeinpeace2707 this wasn't even the most dangerous lol
Its worse during the day. Alan Gardens is disgusting. You can't take your children there, not even walk a dog. Needlepark.
It's always the basketball americans
Basketball was invented by a white man in Canada
It’s not the cleanest. Definitely not the dangerous street in Toronto. Sherbourne and Dundas.
Honestly, Toronto doesn't have really, really awful parts like some U.S. cities do. Yes it has very bad areas. My son is a paramedic in Toronto and sees some awful things but, I grew up in Memphis and have lived in Toronto and let me tell you one thing, in Memphis? You have areas where if you don't belong there you damned well better. not even go at night. You WILL get swarmed, robbed etc. Those neighborhoods routinely have stores held up at night and people shot for a couple of dollars. I didn't have a single friend in Memphis who had never been broken into and some people more than once including my mother. Toronto has bad areas but, thankfully it's not quite on the level of New Orleans, Memphis etc. Fewer guns, less poverty makes the difference. You let more programs get cut and loosen the gun laws and you will find out right quick how bad it can get.
Hi bro
Who remembers the name before it was filmores
Westover Hotel?
Zombies ? In Toronto ?
my ends
That area is not dangerous. You can walk through there at anytime unharassed. There aren't any dangerous neighbourhoods in Toronto - crime happens but it's random and not specific to any place. In fact, stats show downtown is the safest area; it's the suburbs where most violent crimes occur.
I used to work there it's terrible area
Toronto
Queen and Ossington much scarier.
That’s cuz there’s a mental hospital there.
definitely not the most dangerous area in Toronto… go west end
Compared with Vancouver, this street scene not too bad and acceptable.
This was a freakishly tame night for some reason.
@@2painful2watch agree.
I subscribed bro
Kinda like saying Disneyworld's most dangerous ride.
lol
I lived here. It was pretty fucked
Pretty girl are u from east-Africa?
This is nothing to what it was
T.o subway station s
I am astounded to see that's me sitting there at the bench near the corner street of Sherbourne and Queen. A girl by the shelter stairs is hiding and smoking stuff. I were into the process of preparing my next fix there. Hope I were smoking when camera recorded me wearing a white hospital blanket and sitting and chilling. That's october 4th 22' folks. Toronto vibes are always great.
You alright bro?
Still looks sketchy as hell. Despite the ttc being full of weirdos that put you at risk, I would never walk in those areas especially at night. Screw that. Toronto the good is no more despite what any shitty mayor claims.
Well, Mississauga is still nice!!
I would not want to live anywhere else.
Toronto’s most dangerous,... and yet you walk through without any hassles,... in fact someone wishes you a good day.... says it all!! Toronto rules!!
There were 7 murders in Moss Park last year and only 20,000 people live there, that's a homicide rate of 31.52 per 100,000 people. And this isn't even the worst area in Canada...
this is where the worse are
I wouldn’t call that DANGEROUS… just lots more of lower class people
Moss Park can be a dangerous neighbourhood at times. In 2023, the Moss Park saw 7 murders and only 20,000 people live there giving the area a homicide rate of 31.52 per 100,000 people. And this isn't even the worst danger zone in Canada...
My guy Bear in front of filmores
Should of made a right at the old strip club lol
Lot of meth in that area , enough said .
That's soft
Sick society. I've never seen this in my birth country, nor in China where I lived for 10 yrs...
do you live in canada now?
At least it's not communist. 🖕
It’s not dangerous. Everyone around there is dipping, crumpled already, hurting, skinny, jonesing.
Walk through there big and proud and it’s a walk in the park. Disgusting park.
Mafia area dawg
Man just spins the camera around and catches a woman smoking crack, like damn let her smoke in peace😂😂😂😂😂
