Great job Pete those were wonderful memories "the good ole days" bring me back let Queen Street rock the good ole life again!! Love the music "Down Town" one of my favourite toons!!! Thanks for making my day with a "Blast from the Past" Pete😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you for putting this together. Great job! Ahhhh the memories. The Thursday nights on Queen Street in the 70s. Bumper to bumper of cars and the sidewalks filled with teens. Good times! I miss those days.
Great job putting together this video. I remember many of the stores - Rosberg's, Kents, Reitmans, Eatons and the Mayflower Restaurant. I especially remember going to the movies with my friends. It is too bad that all of these stores had to close because of the big shopping malls.
Cataract Sports And Hobbies. Used to go there as a kid when it was Steele's Sports And Hobbies. Worked at Seneca Theater for a couple of years in the 80s too.
I used to take violin lessons at the Bradley Institute as a kid and I would walk home and stare at the digital watches in the window at Ostranders, wishing I could afford one. Thank you for sharing this!
Wow can remember cruising in my '63 Karmann Ghia .......and with my Dad's store at the top of Queen on Victoria Ave always had a place to park when we did our walk down lap .......had to be seen you know !!!!!
I grew up on Queen Street in the 60's and this video is amazing. I'm looking for info on the Oriental Restaurant. My family ate there every 2nd week after payday. My mom and sister don't remember but I do. Turkey sandwiches covered in gravy and "Those Were the Days" on the juke box situated at every booth. Help prove me right!
Barbara Frum grew up in Niagara Falls. Her dad ran Rosberg’s department store, which closed in 1988. Niagara Falls’ business district has gone downhill since then. It’s in the Rust Belt.

+Cdnwmn ,Thanks many people enjoyed it to
Thanks for the memories! Downtown Niagara Queen Street was very special back then. Always exciting to take the bus and go there in my youth!
Love this. Thank you. That was when people actually worked there. Shopping malls killed the independent stores. too bad.
I was born in the falls in 72. Sadly, I don't recall any of the stores, but it was fun to watch!
Thank you for this beautiful memory !!!!
i used to go downtown alot in the 80s so much had changed by then

See Edd Masters store but no Dick Gullions the two places I had a charge account as a teenage clothes horse.
I wish they would bring back neon signs.
Enjoyed this. Can't recall Graders?
