I just stumbled across this and it's so cool to see in many different ways. Been here all my life and it's so cool to be able to go back. The roads and buildings and the cars. I was a Chevette fan and I lost count of how many you caught on camera. Mind you they were everywhere and everyone had at least one. Or more. I had several and I'd love to find another one maybe I can use your video's to track one down 😜. Anyway super cool and looking forward to seeing what else you have going on. This is truly a great service what you are doing here. Who doesn't want to go back to simpler times every now and again. 👍👍👍🇨🇦🔧
I thank you for the comments, but Chevettes! Really ? They were awful, not particularly good on gas, horrible braking etc etc. Oshawa was full of them because so many families got the employee discount back then.
I was living there then. I was 14. So nice to see again. It went passed my best friends house who passed 17 years after this was taken. Thank you for posting
Cool video. It was taken the year before I started working downtown Oshawa. Some things are exactly the same and some are drastically different. Thank you for posting it!!
I loved seeing all the old cars, trucks and vans. I lost count of how many Gremlins were on the road.😄 I didn't grow up here, only been here since 2007. Thanks for sharing.👍🚗🖤✌️
Weird seeing A&P in Teddys Plaza. Wow, what a trip back in time. Weird seeing buildings on corners that are vacant now. I lived in Oshawa from 1989-2012. I seen alot of changes in that time. I bet alot has changed since 2012. I kinda miss it. I lived and learned all my life lessons there. Great Video!
WOW. Oshawa had changed dramatically in 37 years. Also, I love the older cars on the road. I was born in 87 so you may have inadvertently came across my parents 1982 Oldsmoblie Omega drifting about.
Starts on wilson rd, right on bond to ritson, lots of gm buildings still there. To 4 corners at bond and sincoe park , gibbons , left on stevenson, left on king and back to downtown very cool
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. the Marks, Odeon ,Regent and Hyland theatres and the Genosha Hotel still open. just starting to tear down the GM North plant and the Hospital parking lot wasn't built yet..
I was a teenager back then when you filmed this, but I lived next door in Whitby. What's really striking is the easy flow of traffic compared to Oshawa now.
Wow. I did just stumble upon this and knew the street you left from immediately to my surprise. Considering I grew up on Keewatin St. and went to Athabasca!!
lol I never watched past Belvedere as it was late last night, but now I watched whole thing, AWESOME!!! From Wanamaker at park and king to old cliff mills, Teddys with north parking WOW list goes on. 👍👍 Let’s not forget the Chevettes lol rofl 🤣
To be fair Angela, the camera was on a tripod in the bed of pick-up truck. I am sure we were talking, you just couldn't hear us, because we were in the cab of the truck.
Right! Had a family gathering yesterday….we had all watched it and everyone noticed different things so I am going to watch it again! Thanks for getting back to me!@@hopeyoustumbleuponthis.8627
So cool to watch. I didn’t grow up in Durham-or in Canada for that matter...and now, I drive by a lot of these parts of Oshawa often. Just amazing to figure out where and what things used to be. Thanks for sharing this!
OMG 😢😢 That is my late brother. Yes we lived 2 doors down from Harts, beside Jesons. Best time of my life in the 70s. I have lost everybody ,thank you and God bless you for this 😢. I went back to see if someone got my post or if it worked lol. Who are you? I know internet is crazy , don’t know how to send private message but you have really made me feel a lot better. It has been hard since my Mother’s and brothers passing so short time ago. God Bless Thank You.
Haha seeing the 76 olds delta 88 at the beginning brought back some grt memories. In 89 was driving a 75 delta and lucky gas was 40 cents a liter as they got 8 mpg if u were lucky.
Yup I think I mite have been about ten when this was done and ya all the malls are open on king just wow I'm 45 now and lived in this town my hole life thankyou.....
This cruise starts on the street. I was born on which is Belvedere. it drives right by 1125 which is at the corner of Labrador and Belvedere My House. then it drives bythe Mankies house and turns left just passed Mr. Starr‘s house who was a Magnavox dealer In the 70s. I wonder if Michael Mankies s father still has the 71 Chevelle I wonder. then it turns on highway 2 off I believe Eastlawn and goes west towards Grandview. this is beautiful.
Glad you liked my 40 plus year old video. I remember a Meyer family living a couple houses down from the Harts. Little foggy on the details, but I think they moved, as I remember a pretty blonde girl moving in afterward. Jeff Virgin
What an awesome video!! FYI, RUclips has a video stabilization option that might work really well for this video. You might want to compare the results and see if it might be worth uploading a stabilized version.
Wow, did that trip 1000s of times! Must have been ‘85-89, the downtown movie theatres are still going, and the Globe Restaurant had burned down (‘84, I think).
They would have done better filming on a brighter day too. It's fascinating, but really dark. Colour would have improved it. Oshawa was great and much simpler then.

Great video, roads were so clean. All the old stores and seeing all that's gone.

this belongs in a museum. But seriously you should see if the Oshawa Museum would like a copy
this was really neat to watch as a 20 year old who was born and raised here, much looks the same but so different at the same time! thanks for sharing

Hasn't changed that much
Thank you for posting! What a time capsule this is. Amazing.
Thanks for the ride down memory lane... literally 😊
It's gone forever all we have left is memories 💔
Starts on wilson rd, right on bond to ritson, lots of gm buildings still there. To 4 corners at bond and sincoe park , gibbons , left on stevenson, left on king and back to downtown very cool

That means you are old like me. 😀
Awesome video... videos like these are why I do videos of cities today.

Right in those nostalgic feels!!!
Wow! Cool. Oshawa still pretty much looks the same. Expect downtown looks nicer back then, then it does now.
Just saw this….what a hoot! Cheeky driving on Golf St. And I think it is so funny that the guys don’t utter a word through the whole drive! Loved it!!
To be fair Angela, the camera was on a tripod in the bed of pick-up truck. I am sure we were talking, you just couldn't hear us, because we were in the cab of the truck.

It’s amazing to see how something’s are completely different, and other things are exactly the same. I’d love to see someone do this same drive today.
I will do it, and post it soon
This is so neat can't wait to see the remake!😄
Remake is up.
Thanks so much for sharing🙏🏼
Harmony Rd as a two lane, oh the memories
drove right by my house!! so cool!!
It's so much the same, yet so different. I didn't know there was a gas station at 10:04. Cool!

Jeff Virgin, I lived at 106 Grandview.

Had time to think about it, There was Doug Mayer ?

Plymouth Horizon driving into the Canadian Horizon at 3:04. 😅
Thanks man share more if you got any
I lived off harmony back in 89 good time back then
Love it what year was this
1980
I lived in Oshawa since 2022, lots of road can't be recognized 😅
What an awesome video!! FYI, RUclips has a video stabilization option that might work really well for this video. You might want to compare the results and see if it might be worth uploading a stabilized version.
Thanks, I will look into it.
Wow, did that trip 1000s of times! Must have been ‘85-89, the downtown movie theatres are still going, and the Globe Restaurant had burned down (‘84, I think).
This is cool!
Loved the lack of military sized vehicles on the road back then compared to now
Back when a truck was a truck, and not a genatalia substitute.
Man this looks like the 80's lol
Lol absolutely love it
1989?
Any railway crossing footage from all over Ontario?
Everything sure does change a lot since the 80's.
Weird seeing no hooker fights and homeless people
I did a couple of videos driving through Oshawa for summer 2023 posted on my channel.
This is very neat. Living here my whole life I've noticed.....even in this.....Oshawa hates trees and loves huge useless boulevards
I was 15 then
Before trucks dominated the roadways.
I'm Oshawa as fck.
❤❤❤
Crazy
I have a suspicious feeling that this video will blow up oit of nowhere

@@deanbrown5658 and some unintelligible emojis to you too
Hmm now you see Teslas everywhere my my has the times changed
What year was this video filmed on?
As it says in the description mid eighties.
@@hopeyoustumbleuponthis.8627 Ops didn't see that. But thanks.
at 03:33 You can see someone get stabbed
this is very blurry
Imagine 40 year old video filmed from the back of a truck being a little blurry!
They would have done better filming on a brighter day too.
It's fascinating, but really dark. Colour would have improved it.
Oshawa was great and much simpler then.
The dirty Shwa.
Not so much in the 80's large Poppa
@@hopeyoustumbleuponthis.8627 I grant you it was better I lived there then and moved in 2018. Good video.
Still upset that there is no more million dollar saloon anymore😂
I thought that was a strip club ?
