- A 4K downtown Toronto Night walk that starts by walking north up Yonge Street Dundas Street. At Dundas Square I turn west and walk along Dundas through Little Tokyo and Chinatown. I then turn south on Spadina Avenue and head past Queen Street and into the entertainment district. From there it's past a number of patios on Adelaide, John and Richmond Street's before finding my way to St Andrew Station. The street's were still quiet thanks to only being on Stage 2 of the coronavirus pandemic but it was still great to see people out and enjoying the city. This was recorded on Friday, July 17 at 8:55 pm. The temperature was 27 degrees Celsius.
0:01 - North on Yonge Street
5:30 - Dundas Square
7:43 - West on Dundas Street West

The last few posts have blown my mind. I live here. Freaky. Nice to see it from a different lens
Thanks Todd, much appreciated and it's always good to see things from a different perspective. I'd love to hear what others who live here to have to say.
First of all, love the site. And the commentaries are awesome. I believe Chinatown did not start down in Spadina area or behind city hall. I believe it was a spill off of the original Chinatown which is Broadview Ave. After a strong influx of Chinese into Broadview they moved to what is now Chinatown. Thank you for also talking about stage 1, 2 and 3 and what to expect. We just have soft encouragements not any lockdowns.
***I am so sad few people are wearing masks.
Keep going for us from Toronto growing up around the time you grew up it is just amazing to see all the changes. Hope you keep exploring Toronto. And your commentary is amazing and thank you for giving a loonie to people down on their luck. Believe it or not the homeless now have donation apps to receive a donation for people like you who want to give a small bit of change in digital form.
We have the same problem with bikes on the sidewalks. But our bike theft is taken more seriously here in Japan.
Oh, the Spadina shuffle song is by the SHUFFLE DEMONS. czcams.com/video/KZnLjRi_g9o/video.html
This makes me happy of my walks through Toronto are still full of people.
I might have to put up more of my Toronto with people videos.

Thank you so much for these new videos.
LIFE ISNT EASY .... I don't want to force anything on yall but man I've had so many problems and the only true way to come out of them victorious is thru the Lord God Almighty... I know society makes everyone think being religious is for deluded people but please open your eyes it's not.. I plead to yall just say a prayer to God commit all your worries fears, regrets and deepest problems into his hands.. read the bible and keep praying to him in Jesus Name .. I promise you your life will change for the better I promise you
I was pondering on suicide, I wanted to run away from home but I prayed to the Lord God and all of a sudden ..things started moving forward in my life.. I've done so many evil things in my past.. things that i think any other person would kill me for if they were God but God kept me alive and well
I dont want to be seen as the deluded guy in the comment section but I'm literally pouring my heart out
I thought my sins were too bad and that I will never succeed in my dreams.. but I forgot that in John 3:16 it says "For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life"
Believe that Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins to be forgiven and to give us eternal life in heaven
You may think I'm crazy but I'm begging just try this read the bible pray and watch yourself rise to heights you never expected
Dont fall into the tricks of the world I'm begging
I apologise for this being too long
Imma try and send this out to loads of comments sections.. I hope this touched your soul.. if it did please like the message and comment let's make it togetherrr
Thanks
@@briannk3720 nah man dont believe in jesus you have to believe in big corporations they are the way forward. Listen to microsoft, apple, j&j, jp morgan, toyota, samsung etc
I lived in Toronto for about 11 months a year ago. Although I am in Korea now, I miss this city so much. I miss the Canadians who were kind to me. I especially miss the wood ave hair salon lady who cut my hair and the lady who always paid for me at the mart. I want to go as soon as possible once the Corona virus is gone. I love Canada.
That's great to hear and I can see by your youtube logo you really like the city :) I lived in Korea (Seoul) for 5 years and I absolutely love your country. So be happy that you are still in an amazing place and Toronto will be ready to welcome you back with open arms should you return. Thanks for watching the videos!
Johnny Strides Wow Unbelievable !! If I go to Toronto, please I hope to meet you in Toronto.
Don’t have a good day, have a great day Thank you so much.😉

I was in Toronto a few years ago, a beautiful city, very neat, clean and the people very friendly and polite to tourists. I fell in love with that city.

You missed the guy that keeps shouting “BELIEVE!” at random people...low key a Toronto icon.
I've featured him in a few videos before and even ran into him in the Eaton Centre food court!
Haha you brought back a memory for me, he used to scare the beejazuz out of me
he reminds me of my student life in Ryerson❤
Jesus,JESUS,Jesus love that Guy awesome Dude
LOOOOOOOOOL man that guy killed me 😂😂😂
Hi johnny, I am from korea I lived in Canada for 7 months and it is so nice to be able to remember the streets of that time. I miss canada so much. I watch videos often. Please upload it every day. Thank you :)
Thank you NaHyeon :) I will try to do a new one each day!
North Korea?
I came for the walk but stayed for the narration, it was informative and interesting. Good job
Thank you!
thank you very much sir i watched all no skip i am moving to Canada Toronto very soon and showed me a lot thanks I really enjoyed the video best part Is you are talking to us while walking and explaining as much as possible
I live in Toronto Canada I love it their the people are so kind the restaurants are amazing the neighborhoods are amazing I just love Canada
This was very enjoyable and like a casual evening stroll with a friend
I love my city. Walking on Yonge street is one of my favourite pastimes.
It truly never gets boring!
The street looks pretty run down.
@@rtgtx Nah It's just the lack of sunlight because of skyscrapers (it's a North-South street). When you get farther North in Midtown, it starts to seem better.
I'm watching this just because I dream of living here when I go off to school, but imagine how people will see this. 100 or even 50 years from now.
I played junior hockey outside toronto for two years. It was one of the best cities that I’ve ever been to. The people, the architecture, the arts. Some of my best friends today are from Toronto.
That's amazing, glad you have such fond memories of the city and its people!
Johnny Strides thanks dude ! Great videos
lived there 1994-2000 wow... so much change.. thanks for making this videos.. some stores have been there since my time...amazing..
Amazing knowledge of the city. Thanks for this. I'm sharing it with a lot of friends who have never been to TO.
Thank you David and that's awesome, much appreciated!
Spent almost 4years in Toronto, one of the safest city in the world for sure. Great video man!
Sadly it was past
@@ipat2784 Too many immigrants.
@@ipat2784 lol no it’s current. Crime has gone down in the last 20 years.
I used to do the same walk when I got bored studying at Ryerson...been missing it since we’ve had to stay indoors. Thanks for posting this up, stay healthy and all the best.
I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS BEAUTIFUL CITY TORONTO I LOVE CANADA 🇨🇦 SHOUT OUT FROM LAKE CHARLES LOUISIANA 😎✌😀

Thanks Nikki, much appreciated! 👍
Thanks, hello pretty lady how are you doing today
Hello sweet nikki💗
Hello how are you doing
Well done Johnny. I watch your videos and I love them very much, especially because of the narratives. It gives a lively feel to the images you capture of your surroundings.Toronto is a beautiful city, I love it !!
Toronto was my first place outside Brazil (2004). Always a good memory. Thanks for sharing your walk with us!!
like a combination of Boston and New York. I like it
But way cleaner than both lol
@@jonathan_kim Boston isn’t too bad. New York is just disgusting
czcams.com/video/Kf7muBcKbhw/video.html ...
@@jonathan_kim Not at all. This actually looks like shadier regions of New York.
I have never seen downtown this empty. Great video!!
For a Friday night it sure is... thanks!
True. thought 9pm on sunday
I live in Manitoba, looks crowded to me 😂
Early in the pandemic, that's why
Hello from Brazil 🤗 Thank you so much. 🙏 I feel privileged to be able to make an amazing tour in a beautiful city ❤️✨ even though it is so far from here. I also loved the tour narrative! 🤗 Thank you 🙏❤️🌻
And I love this tour ❤️
Watched this video for the first time. Taking walks through T.O. is one thing but the narrative is like getting glasses.
Greetings from the U.K. Great video.
🌟Great tour with local guide!💥🍁🌟Thanks for sharing!
Your videos are Soo satisfying and interesting. I love your videos they're awesome and place.. Toronto is Soo beautiful.
Thank you, much appreciated and there will be a lot more videos on the way!
Sure morev
I am a great follower of Sir Johnny Strides and like and amazed of all his videos. I also live here in downtown Toronto.
Cool to just walk around the city, soak up the atmosphere!
Thanks for the narration, it makes it even more interesting for those who have never been to Toronto... It would be great to have another narrated one during winter ;)
They're mostly narrated from now on :)
Exaaaccttllyyy!! 🤣😩
Never seen Toronto before. It's a beautiful city!
Thanks Betty, it is! 👍

it's always lovely to walk with you my friend. 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing . happy weekend.🌼🌼🌼
Wow this is so nostalgic and very special experience. Thanks for refreshing my old sweet memories associated with this beautiful vibrant city, few years ago. It was like a time travel when you walked through these streets, imagining myself, recollecting the lovely city and warm people there. Hope to return there some day again. Thank you so much Johnny Strides.
Lived in Toronto for 5 years. Gosh I miss that vibrant city
Is it better than London? Also is it easy for migrats to get jobs?
Sean there’s a lot of job opputunities for immigrants. It’s huge and vibrant and there’s always a place for everyone. You can find your niche here.
@@Sean-fg9rq where are u from
thank you,it was a helpful videofor those who are coming to Toronto
Nice mam
As a Chicagoan, I swear that the street scenes highly resemble our own downtown streets. It's kinda freaky the similarity.
They are similar, although Chicago has Toronto beat in terms of skyscrapers (not by volume but by beauty) IMO by a good margin. I love walking around Chicago and just looking up.
Cities on the great lakes. When I was in Chicago I thought I was still at home.
Not sure never been to Chicago but heard Chicago pretty ghetto big crime
I am a New Yorker.
@@jeffhall3044 New York even worse crime
My guy, your camera quality is frigging amazing, holy shit... feels like I’m there! Amazing work man, I lived up there in 2016-2019
Toronto is like a cleaner, more slick looking NYC that downtown could even pass for Times Square, I do know Toronto has been used as a stand in for NYC in many films and TV shows.
indeed it has, it's very common to be watching a movie and spot Toronto in it!
Sorry, but no. Toronto in this video did not look much cleaner than what you typically see in NYC/Manhattan.
Hello pretty lady how are you doing today ♥️
I saw the entire video, cant believe it,
I really enjoyed it, like if I were there walking down those streets
thanks for the ride! amazing city
I love your videos, they make me feel like living in toronto
Omg. I didn't expext to see this street again. I had worked in a Ramen restaurant on Dundas W for 8 months in 2013 Jan~Aug. It was your left side. Thanks to my super kind boss, teammates and Toronto Citizen, I was so happy and enjoyed Toronto life. Most of people who I met on street and store had tried to help my demands kindly. Hope to walk Dundas W again. Thank you for watching this video.
Dear Johnny, my moms lives in Kazakhstan, she's only ever travelled to Canada ones & to US once. She watches your vides and they make her SOOOO happy. She has a tough life over there, and this is a lovely relief she gets after work. She talks about your videos of Toronto almost every time we zoom. Thank you, keep doing awesome job!
Thank you and tell her I say hi and thanks for watching~!
this video is so cool! I used to live in Toronto in 2014 and watching this video brings me back so many memories!
I had been in Toroto 10years ago. Wow its so nostalgic..... Now Iam in JAPAN
I moved away from Toronto over 3 years ago, but I still have an intimate recognition of those streets. Thanks for the video; felt like I was back walking around myself!
I REMEMBER YOU ! I SEEN YOU JUST OVER 3 YEARS AGO !! WHATS UP/
Hey Nancy
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
where did you go?
well made video to document the times
New City Hall?! New in 1965! But I get it. Old City Hall is across the street from it. Interesting to see changes since I left Toronto in 2008. Can't believe that beauty supply place is still at Bay and Dundas. Been there forever.
Thanks for your sharing.
Great video!!! Brings a lot of good memories while I hv lived in Toronto for almost 8 years.
I lived in Toronto in the early 80s. Feels the same.
@ashiqur rahumanyou should go to embassy to Canada in sirilanka ask him about tike Visa to Canada I think it's easy for you try don't give up my friend good luck
Thank you for introducing me to Spadina Bus! I'm usually an annual visitor to Toronto. I love this city and your videos have me longing to get back there.
Awesome! Thanks for walking Tour about Toronto💖
We have a Village Idiot in Cape Town too! I really enjoyed this video. Narrated is so much better than not. And you're very knowledgeable. Thanks!
Can’t wait stroll the streets next year when I get there
Me toooo!
Hello sweet marina💚
I worked on Bay Street from 1995 till Dec. 2019 and during that time I never saw Yonge Street that empty. Even on nights when I left the office at 1 am the sidewalks would be crowded in the summer. Haven't been downtown since the flu outbreak.
The good old days, before Covid came around. Can't wait to visit Toronto again!
Covid showed up in 2019 and is still here today, but before Covid showed up it was great.
I hope Covid goes away soon and for good.
Being away for 3 yrs. Feels like yesterday. I miss this place.
this guys voice sounds so peaceful. could fall asleep listening to him.
Toronto is a fine looking city...Hello from San Francisco California 🏜🏖🏞⛰🌋🗻⛲⛩🌁🌃🏙🌉🌅🌄
I lived in Toronto about……..30 years ago for 10 years. Watching your video brings back good old memory. Always wanted to visit again. Hopefully before I die. 😀
Come back soon!
looks very beautiful and peaceful city..
Did you edit the footage in post? Is it taken all auto?
First time I saw this, good view , nice province
It is :)
Thank you for that. In the late 70s I worked at Dundas & Yonge area. There was a Sears MOB building a block down. A great Buffet place across the street. I danced on weekends at Momma G's on Yonge a few doors down from Hard Rock Cafe. Good times!
Love the City, thanks for sharing ❤️
You're welcome!
Brilliant virtual tour
Can't wait to move to Canada once I have my qualifications and job experience and money saved I'm gonna apply for sure
Hope you love it here!
Me too. I'm waiting for this moment... My dream is moving to Canada
@@victorvasconcelos5125 same here bro
nice channel and nice camera, i want start somethink similar with this channel, can i ask you how much is the rpm of the channel?
Perfect angles and great quality wow concept
Great Channel! These will be awesome to watch again years from now.
Thank you! I hope so :)
Hey Godfrey
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
Greeting. I am from Croatia and I really like Canada. I would love to live and work in Canada, and especially in Toronto. I hope that my dream will come true soon.
Are you Is a women?
Better stay in Croatia. You guys have great weather and a simple way of life. Come to Canada is you want processed and imported foods, come to Canada where you and your husband will have to work full-time if you want to have a comfortable life. For a visit, okay, but meet and talk with the Croatians, Serbians, Polaks, or Albanians who know a thing-or-two about these lands.
Jeboti!!! This is not a place to be for long. We do have chevapi
@@sm3675 Actually a good point, if you want to live in a house. If you are okay with living in a condo or apartment, you will be fine.
Canada is great to visit but from my experience living here and in Toronto it is very expensive to live, work a lot of hours, very long and cold winters about 8-10 months of the year is cold and gets very boring after a couple of weeks.
I’m going to Toronto next week yaayyy it’s been a while since a year ago! Look forward to it!
So exciting!!! For me it’s three months !!
Great tour. I'm surprised you didn't mention the famous MASSEY HALL that was located on Shuter just off of Yonge St.
I've talked about it plenty of times in other vids :)
That was located? It still is.
Hy! I’m from Nigeria, i’m planning on moving to canada soon.. i love this video, it’s encouraging. Thanks so much
you made me reminiscing of the days when MuchMusic was a thing. Speakers corner, oh my God; what happened to those days.
I used to hang out at electric circus and was on once. Yup those days were cool.
Commenting from Philippines but a Toronto resident who's stayed in the Philippines longer than expected because of the pandemic. I miss Toronto and I'm sad to have missed a Toronto Summer, but seems like it probably didn't feel the same this year.
Absolutely gorgeous the Canadian city so wonderful very clean 🇨🇦👍♥️
It is! 👍
Parts of Dundas, reminds me of Times Sq., except with the crowds of ppl. But in the summer of 2020, it probably looked like this. Few ppl walking around. Love the cable cars.
Canada is a country so beautiful... I. Love it 💃
👍👍👍 Are you in Vietnam? I love that country :)
Isn’t it too cold? Was considering moving
@@Sean-fg9rq If you’re OK with the weather in Chicago, Detroit or New York, you’ll be fine. Believe me it doesn’t drop 50 degrees as you cross the border.
Im from Finland My grandma lives in Toronto i was there in 2018 great city!! 🇨🇦👍
I love how they build the art gallery as you say it looks like a submarine beautiful 😍and that 3D picture is a wow factor just before you speak and said it's a 3D I was taken aback I said to myself wasn't that picture facing forward why is it looking like it watching you lol🙈🤣 great vlog once again Johnny I must say I am addicted to your vlogs very useful information and tips 🥰 keep these wonderful vlogs coming and be safe now🤗💞🤗
Thanks Denise, glad you enjoy the videos !!! 👍
Spadina Bus is by the Shuffle Demons. Remember seeing them at the Horseshoe Tavern (just to your left when you stop at Spadina and Queen in case it's no longer there). Beautiful light as the sun sets. Love seeing this summer night video on a cool "winter" night down here.
@Nino Brown Good to hear.
Thank you so much for making this video and narrating. I'm so nervous living in America right now. Everything is so tense. Right now I'm in school for nursing and apparently Canada has a program to let American nurses work in Canada, so I would love to live there one day!
You're welcome and I hope everything works out for you down there!
Hey buddy
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
Hello
I hope you come up here to Canada. We want nurses here for sure. You will love it. My friend recently moved back from the USA after being a nurse in the states for 10 years. She went through a lot and is happy to be back.

That preacher man is probably as loud as he usually is, it's just that the aren't any rival proselytizers, street drummers, breakdancers or enormous crowds drowning him out like usual.
hello emperor beef, i know you may not be religious but he is doing the will of GOD, ignore the tone but listen to the message, let me tell you something everything the word of GOD prophesied to happen is already happening and much more to come. none of us has an excuse when the day of Judgment comes because we are hearing the word of Christ and we are refusing him, if God should come now and ask why haven't you accepted him is your answer gonna be because the preacher was too loud, now darling i am not forcing Christianity on you i would never do that, i can only tell you about him and encourage you to get to know him personally, i am not judging you either because none of us are perfect but same as we show respect for celebrities and many people comparing their lives to theirs and yet still they don't know us neither do they know what we are going through but yet we scream and blush over them, its the same we can show respect for GOD who loves us, knows us before we were born, knows us better than we know ourselves, and the same we need to respect for the people of GOD, and I know not all people who say lord lord will enter but at least we can listen and ask JESUS to enter our lives. i don,t know what you are going through but if you reach out he will hear, i dont know if its depression, finances, relationship but he knows he is only a prayer away honey seek him while he may be found, i know i am 2 months late but i really felt compelled to reach out and even though i am 2mnths late JESUS is always on time. stay safe, trust God, I love you but christ loves you best.

That's why he left new York
@@terenesestrachan7529 lol you no nothing about the origins of Christianity much less what "prophecies" say and who made the Bible. There is no end of the world and Jesus never taught he came to die to save anyone. Indeed Abrahamic religions are toxic and are based on fear, threatening and punishment. You go to hell if you disagree with the god of the Bible. Indeed the god of the bible almost killed Moses because he refused to cut the foreskin of his children. There are thousand of other holy books with their "Gods" why yours is special? The deity of the bible is a tribal deity of the desert of Palestine that the shepherds of the desert worshiped
An amazing and very beautiful ❤️😻 City. Toronto's people are always very beautiful, kind and always ready to help.
A blessed City with happiness.
All the best warm wishes for Toronto and GTA 💕.
There are many good things about things Toronto. But having lived there for 16 years, I would hardly call it beautiful, although it does have its moments.
It depends which type of beauty you looking for? I Respect comments and feeling .
