Oshawa cruise 1987 

Great video, roads were so clean. All the old stores and seeing all that's gone.

I was living there then. I was 14. So nice to see again. It went passed my best friends house who passed 17 years after this was taken. Thank you for posting

I was a teenager back then when you filmed this, but I lived next door in Whitby. What's really striking is the easy flow of traffic compared to Oshawa now.

this belongs in a museum. But seriously you should see if the Oshawa Museum would like a copy

this was really neat to watch as a 20 year old who was born and raised here, much looks the same but so different at the same time! thanks for sharing

Weird seeing A&P in Teddys Plaza. Wow, what a trip back in time. Weird seeing buildings on corners that are vacant now. I lived in Oshawa from 1989-2012. I seen alot of changes in that time. I bet alot has changed since 2012. I kinda miss it. I lived and learned all my life lessons there. Great Video!

I loved seeing all the old cars, trucks and vans. I lost count of how many Gremlins were on the road.😄 I didn't grow up here, only been here since 2007. Thanks for sharing.👍🚗🖤✌️

Cool video. It was taken the year before I started working downtown Oshawa. Some things are exactly the same and some are drastically different. Thank you for posting it!!

Great video

WOW. Oshawa had changed dramatically in 37 years. Also, I love the older cars on the road. I was born in 87 so you may have inadvertently came across my parents 1982 Oldsmoblie Omega drifting about.

Thanks for the ride down memory lane... literally 😊

Thank you for posting! What a time capsule this is. Amazing.

Starts on wilson rd, right on bond to ritson, lots of gm buildings still there. To 4 corners at bond and sincoe park , gibbons , left on stevenson, left on king and back to downtown very cool

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. the Marks, Odeon ,Regent and Hyland theatres and the Genosha Hotel still open. just starting to tear down the GM North plant and the Hospital parking lot wasn't built yet..

Wow. I did just stumble upon this and knew the street you left from immediately to my surprise. Considering I grew up on Keewatin St. and went to Athabasca!!

Wow! Cool. Oshawa still pretty much looks the same. Expect downtown looks nicer back then, then it does now.

Harmony Rd as a two lane, oh the memories

It’s amazing to see how something’s are completely different, and other things are exactly the same. I’d love to see someone do this same drive today.

It's so much the same, yet so different. I didn't know there was a gas station at 10:04. Cool!

Right in those nostalgic feels!!!

So cool to watch. I didn’t grow up in Durham-or in Canada for that matter...and now, I drive by a lot of these parts of Oshawa often. Just amazing to figure out where and what things used to be. Thanks for sharing this!

Yup I think I mite have been about ten when this was done and ya all the malls are open on king just wow I'm 45 now and lived in this town my hole life thankyou.....

drove right by my house!! so cool!!

Haha seeing the 76 olds delta 88 at the beginning brought back some grt memories. In 89 was driving a 75 delta and lucky gas was 40 cents a liter as they got 8 mpg if u were lucky.

Awesome video... videos like these are why I do videos of cities today.

so cool, great history

Just saw this….what a hoot! Cheeky driving on Golf St. And I think it is so funny that the guys don’t utter a word through the whole drive! Loved it!!

Thanks so much for sharing🙏🏼

I lived in Oshawa since 2022, lots of road can't be recognized 😅

I lived off harmony back in 89 good time back then

Plymouth Horizon driving into the Canadian Horizon at 3:04. 😅

I moved there in 89 still live here use too be safe place to live

Wow, did that trip 1000s of times! Must have been ‘85-89, the downtown movie theatres are still going, and the Globe Restaurant had burned down (‘84, I think).

This is cool!

Lol absolutely love it

What an awesome video!! FYI, RU-vid has a video stabilization option that might work really well for this video. You might want to compare the results and see if it might be worth uploading a stabilized version.

Thanks man share more if you got any

Loved the lack of military sized vehicles on the road back then compared to now

I'm Oshawa as fck. ❤❤❤

Weird seeing no hooker fights and homeless people

1989?

Man this looks like the 80's lol

Love it what year was this

Everything sure does change a lot since the 80's.

I did a couple of videos driving through Oshawa for summer 2023 posted on my channel.

This is very neat. Living here my whole life I've noticed.....even in this.....Oshawa hates trees and loves huge useless boulevards

I have a suspicious feeling that this video will blow up oit of nowhere 7K views at the time of writing this

Any railway crossing footage from all over Ontario?

I was 15 then

this is very blurry

Before trucks dominated the roadways.

Crazy

What year was this video filmed on?

Hmm now you see Teslas everywhere my my has the times changed

at 03:33 You can see someone get stabbed

The dirty Shwa.

Still upset that there is no more million dollar saloon anymore😂
