    Cruising the east side, listening to Pearl Jam in 1995. It was just a different world back then. Everything changed after 2000 and the internet took off like it has. Hard to believe it's almost 30 ago. Thanks for sharing the good ol days. 💯✌️😎
  • Thank you for posting this! Great video transfer to digital, too. My Dad lived on the east side, so it was nice to see that River East train bridge crossing again. :-)
  • Man, oh man. Just stumbled on this video and for the first time in my life my heart yearned for a time and place that no longer exists. I graduated from Woodward in 1995 so this is a route I took many times and the music is the same that I would have been listening to. Thank you.

  • I’m so grateful for this! I was trying to remember how Front St. and 280 were laid out before the Skyway bridge. Thanks!!

    Thank you for this video I wish You could have got a shot of Woolworths downtown,or Cooks where they built the prison at on central and stickney and yup they was just building that spa on summit street by portside, and I really miss those walk ways before u get to the OI BUILDING and the martin Luther king bridge this was a pleasure. To see the sports Arena wow!! No more WWF. This video is amazing in 1995 I was 15 and a breath of fresh air.

    Man I've lived in Toledo all throughout my life, I was born in '92, I'm 25 now & I can honestly say things looked somewhat different back then. The old Jeep plant is gone & now there's a new one. Cosi wish was a place for kids, now under a new name imagination center. The old sports arena where the Toledo storm always played, Now The new arena is downtown and the team is now called Toledo Walleyes. & the bridge near the end of the video is never used anymore because they build a new bridge right by it.... Man, where did the years go.

  • @sphexes
    Nice time travel! I'm glad you did this. Little did we know that YouTube would help us with revelry of the past.
  • wow, it's like I just stepped into a timemachine!, it's totally changed now with the new bridge!
  • @eagleregal1

  • @kyleheather0416
    Thank you for this video I was born in point place in 1992 been here my hole life after the 280 bridge was built I completely forgot what it use to look like and after seeing it I still don't remember it lol in the hole video I was saying to myself I hope you go past 280 so I could see how it was
  • So strange seeing the old Willy’s parkway plant. I was so confused as to why that plant was torn down. It was an absolute American icon, sometbing like 75 percent of the “official” ww2 Jeeps were built there, I say “official” because there was licensed versions so when I say “original” I mean like “original Willy’s overland Jeep” Plus it’s so weird not seeing the veterans skyway bridge… man I miss the old Toledo.
