I practically grew up in the Science Centre. It makes me so freaking angry that Ford wants to tear it down for condos. 🤬
-
This is an amazing video, hardly no cars on the Gardiner Expressway, few people on the streets and no condo's all around.
-
The Ontario Science Center exhibit is cool. I went to see it with my high school sweet heart
-
Looks amazing without the ugly condo's of today.

I was 16 in Etobicoke in 1987. God I miss those days. No cell phones, internet, electronic social media…I liked it so much better than today. Thanks for posting this.

My birth year and place .....wow .....thanks

This brings me back! Thank you for sharing your footage. I was born and raised in the GTA from 1976-1996. I remember going to the Ontario Science Centre several times. Love that place.

Thank you for this video. I was 11 years old in '87 and this brought back some good memories. I lived just minutes from the cn tower and would be in that area for most of the summers.

Does anyone else miss the orange glow of those sodium vapour street lamps at night? I wasn't alive in 1987 but we have lost so much of the warmth of this city between the first decade of the 2000's and today.

Younge Street looked much better back then
-
The Science Centre in its heyday, before the government slashed its funding. I had a lot of fun there as a kid. Brings a tear to my eye.

Good old days... long gone now

man I would kill to go back to this time. no cell phones, no internet, no social media. you knew all the kids who lived in your area. there was so much stuff to do for free or for next to nothing. you could get into a fight with someone, dust each other off, and go about your day without worrying about dying. nobody was car jacking or stealing everything that wasn't nailed down. 😅

I was 27. I remember the days. I lived in Toronto near High Park. Went to school in the 60s and till 1979. I know reside in Port Perry near retirement.

Great video of toronto in '87 💯

I was in my late teens then...they bussed our marketing class into Toronto to see the Eaton Center. About 50% of our class opted to hit all the headshops downtown instead. Everyone had a brand new Metallica shirt and a brown paper bag with a nice new pipe in it when we got back on the bus. So much for the marketing class portion of our trip into the big smoke.

I was a Hamilton boy in his prime I spent so many weekends in Toronto in the 70s and 80 s in 1987 it was still Toronto the good !

Was having lunch at 360 the day they were breaking ground for the Skydome build 1987. All the news media was there as well as local politicians. They were serving Dome (vs Dom) Pérignon champagne. Met Dick Smyth that day. Was one of the best days of my life.

The sky dome wasn't build yet
