I always have a few "WOWS!" when watching your videos Steve. I appreciate all the work you put into them and look forward to the next one. Greetings from a former Torontonian
i recently discovered your videos. being a born and raised Torontonian i thought i knew all there was to know about this place... you have proved me wrong more than once haha. good work keep it up please!
Great vid. Croft Street (a laneway) in Harbord Village is named after that explosives expert who perished in 1904 -- all the colourful garage murals makes for a nice stroll.
They appear in the top right corner (at least on the Web - might be different in apps) and they're also in the video's description, which RUclips has recently made more cumbersome to find. Grr. You may have to click a couple of "more" links or something like that to see the whole description, and then you should find the links there.
Approx. 5:30 you made the comment (paraphrasing here ) how 'many of the buildings were made of wood and that's why the fire spread so well'. Didn't they recently just pass a new construction law that would allow the building of buildings up to 18 stories tall made out of WOOD ?!!! How insane is that ?!!! We may see another such fire in Toronto, in the future, as devastating as these two were if 'old buildings' ( of steel and concrete ) are replaced with wooden buildings, instead ! :(
Great videos, lots of history. All the birds coming off St Lawrence Hall was hilarious btw. Great work on this vid!
Great video truly enjoy them keep up good work.
