Downtown Brantford 1993. 

It's funny. I was 13 when you filmed this. And a couple years later I remember telling my mother that the Icom building would make a good casino. Who knew it would end up becoming one.

Preciate you showing The B in old times I live in the Riverside Gardens

very cool thanks for sharing old brantford

The Icom Centre is now a casino. The empty lot with the green gvmt sign is now a Royal Bank building and a memorial is built there, too. Most of the buildings on the east side of Colborne street have been torn down. Recently a brand-new YMCA was opened further down the road, close to library (which was a former department store building). The library itself was also recently renovated. On the west side of the street, some buildings were demolished an Harmony Square was constructed, along with some apartments. Laurier University has bought or taken over many of the old buildings downtown and Brantford now has a campus. The Eaton Market Square sits mostly vacant, save for some city offices.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Oh Bdot in 1993 is so different to what It is now. Man have you been to west Brant lately and went passed ACS that shit is wack there is so many houses now. Back in the early 2000's it was basically just the Watertower!

I only vividly recall the Downtown in 2000, not before, & obviously it was bustling back then. I miss how ppl dressed decently then no bare flaps of Flab covered in Tattoos hanging out etc.

Proud home town of the late Phil Hartman.

Wow. I would have just been a tiny baby when you were recording this.

That fry stand had the best fries!!! I remember it beside moodys strip joint!!💋

downtown hasnt changed much, other than the buildings they demolished..

WOW I can remember most of this!

What a time to be a live compared to Brantford 2024 , looks like eveyone is enjoying themselves, more things going on , developed

I really do believe the closure of the Eaton Centre led to a stunt in growth for Brantford.

Funny that Scotiabank is still in the same spot.

2:18 middle building my family owned that! Old meat shop was not alive at the time

Silent hill?

Notice how much thinner everyone was. In just the last 30 years everyone has got fat!

Woah- I'm an 08 baby and this just Intrigues me

I guarded the sign at the ITDC (later became Icomm) the night before it was unveiled... LOL! It seems like a lifetime ago...

Justines bar still on the go

I was born in 1995 in India and now i am here in brantford .

1:40 that's a Royal Bank now, correct?

Icon Center ended up being a casino and the other government land ended up being a bank with a parking lot and a memorial now at one end

I miss when the place looked like silent hill was still filmed here ngl lol Laurier ruined this city.

This town has really gone to sh!t pardon the language thinking of moving the heck away from here

Great time. Right before the meth and opioids...
