Retro Toronto Thread for Nostalgia Purposes.

Those routes were sometimes called “The vomit comet”. Used to take the bloor vomit comet home. I remember at like 3 in the morning and my drunk buddy started singing Monty Pythons Always look on the bright side of life and everyone on the bus joined in and sang it all the way home. Hilarious.
Indeed another name was the vomit comet. I had nights where things of that nature happened. See all kinds of shit taking the yonge 97 home.
For you sports fans out there, before the 24 hour sports networks came along, Global Sportsline was the show to watch. As a kid I remember have to try to stay up late to watch it. Loved it.
The intro really gives me nostalgia if you watch this clip from about the 31 to 39 mark that into/music should really resonate with you:

First thing that came to my mind. Happy it made it to the first 20 Comments
Back in the day, I believe Sportsline featured Bob McCown doing Blue Jays baseball on global tv. He was always critical of their players and was totally disliked by them. One year, the Jays had a golf tournament in Mississauga and McCown played there ( he was as very good golfer). He was known to drive a Mercedes convertible and he happened to park it in a handicap spot illegally as he was a real asshole. When the players were leaving the golf course, some recognized his car which still had the top down and a number of them pissed all over the seats of the car. True story. LOL.
I agree CITYTV sucks now. Used to watch everyday and depending on what time I was home it was always good.
What was their thing? Movies, Music and News?
It was great until the sale, yes and they started firing people I grew up with.
I can honestly say I NEVER watch City now. Couldn’t name 3 personalities there.
Watch CP24 alot now for my local stuff.

I miss the old Fantasia and Bunnies strip in the late 90’s. Lots of import models to be had during that time.
Now it’s just local talent
A bunch of them got their start there notably Dina Pugliese (annoying).
I just found out a few days ago that Sarika Seghal who worked at Toronto 1,CHCH, CBC, etc passed away a couple years ago…..
Back in the really old days, motorists in Toronto actually respected pedestrian right of way. Saw it with my own eyes...
That's the best kind of local talent to have. Just, fair and equitable...Now it’s just local talent
