Damn bruh we had similar childhoods growing up in Scarborough. Can relate to literally everything you posted there. I remember that Roger’s Video was a Blockerbuster before and there was another Blockbuster at Victoria Park and Finch near the McDonald’s. When your parents would rent a movie and you’d get a game for SNES or Sega :banderas:

:mjlol: Bruh I think you nailed it exactly with those McDonald days. I lived off that shyt in HS - 2 dollar Big Macs and mcChickens :blessed:

Wow. Blast from the past man. What a different world we live in now. Really miss those days

Being from scarborough was a badge of honor back then. When you'd chop a girl and just drop the hs you went to :blessed:

Grew up right at birchmount and finch behind glendower. Played softball at wishing well park, hockey at stephen leacock arena, basketball sba :heh: moms would take us to kidstown in the summer and agincourt pool.

I remember snes and sega gensis games being over 100 dollars :heh:, i'd just be looking at the back of boxes, then i got my first job deliving for the scarb mirror at 11 that i was able to buy some games :heh:

brehs dont know how good they have it now. I remember talking to chicks on blackplanet no pic nothing and you'd say screw it and meet at the mall and hope for teh best

Look covid showed most people have adapted to shopping online. I live right beside vaughan mills and monday to thursday its deader than a doorknob and the parking lot empty. Only fri evening and then sat and sun is it busy.

If you notice tons of malls we grew up at their parking lots are now being condos or they are being torn down for condos.

Bridlewood mall
malvern mall
shoppers world
jane and finch mall
woodside square
Amazon prime
I haven’t been to the mall in like 3 months tbh

Mall is a a ghost town now even the mcdonalds and price chopper closed. When I was a kid that was the spot, I got my nes there, my sega genesis, all my games etc.

This is crazy
yeah this new generation shoot at anyone in the rival neighbourhood. they profile the same way the cops did/do. these sick fukking gangmembers are killing people that are not involved in the streets and proud of it.

for context he lives at home, but yeah vancouver rent is ridiculous. Calgary to vancouver on flair is under 200 round trip, so even if you have to do 8 times a month (twice a week) that's 1,600

you probably can't even find a room for 1,600 in vancouver

Imagine moving from Africa to Toronto for a better life and you get gunned down randomly waiting for the bus just because of the area you live in?

For good and throw away the damn key
