Trail BC Canada. Driving in the City & Downtown Area. Life in the West Kootenay Region. 

Back in the early 80s, I had a friend that worked in Trail. I had no idea where it was and thought it was in the middle of BC, dark, gloomy and a small small little village. Unfortunately, I held that view until now when I saw this video. What a surprise! It actually is a pretty nice little town. I seriously want to visit there soon.

Great to see the Double Happiness and Colander are still going strong! So much nostalgia in these vids. Haven't been back since I left in the mid-80s. Long overdue for a return visit.

Thank you for sharing. My late grandfather lived here as a teen and I only found out recently. Trying to piece together his early years.... youtube is an great source!

Way back in the mid-1980s, I was a 21 year old Corporal in the (British) Royal Air Force. I was lucky enough to be picked for a 3-week summer detachment to CFB Comox. It was to display one of our aircraft at 3 airshows. (Best detachment ever!) At a crew party at the end of the Abbotsford airshow, a slightly older lady decided I was going to be her entertainment for the night, and I mean all night! She wined and dined me and drove us back to my hotel in Chilliwack. She said it was well located for her journey home to Trail, next morning. Well, I can say she made quite an impression on me! Back at Comox, I suggested to my boss that I might take a car and go to Trail for a couple of days. His reply - 'Not a chance, we'll never see you again.' He was probably right. So, it's nice to see these views of Trail, the city I wanted to visit but never did. Through the power of the internet, I recently found out that the lady in question, still living in Trail, died at a relatively young age. Very sad.

Thanks for the Drive around my home!! You did a great job!!

Pretty town! Must be some good hiking trails! Seems quiet and peaceful.

Wow everything's changed since I've lived there!!! ♥

I think the music is hacking my brain.

I had cousins who lived there in the 70s. I wonder if they still do.

Moved away 30 years ago, due to no work..............hasn't changed a bit.........

Thank you! Too bad there isn't much work in Trail. We have friends in the area.

Amazing looking area.

Super 👌✌️🇨🇦

I used to live there those where good days

I used to live here during 2013-2019. What an awesome place it was. We moved away to Cranbrook, BC and ever since then i’ve missed this place a lot. The only way i can relive this is by google maps. I wish I could go back soon. Edit: i have officially gone back in 2024 to visit lol, dunno why i was so dramatic in this comment but it was kind of meh for me

The town with Jumbo Convex Safety Mirror's on some hill streets 👌

Do a video in Cranbrook

Do you think the band could tune its instruments first

I visited for a month and found so many people in trail to be rude and have chips on their shoulders. Real estate agents I delt with not very impressive. The kindest people was the lady at the Italian coffee shop and the one at the import store.

I grew up in Montrose in the 70’s. Trail had a bustling downtown with beaver cleaver charm.

Best place if your hobbys drinkin

You went past my friends house

Ah yes, this is when silver city days was happening. Now due to the coronavirus, this won’t be happening this year :(

Ooooo I live in trail

Nice place. Hope u also make a video at Pender st at burnaby 😀

Can I live in it? I am married and I have two children

I notice almost all people have SUVs and muscle vehicles,they seem like rich people out there🧐 although it's a small city!
