I did, but that is why I am saying today is better.
Guess you like the retro look more.

The other picture of the aerial view shows that we have more greenery today.
It was just concrete parking lots back then.
You'd enjoy this:
What is this intersection? Yonge & Gould?
Its Yonge-Dundas. It is in the name of the pic when I hover over it. Duh. lol.
And today is much better.
Here is the 1992 video, and this is how I remember it. Kinda dingy.

Nothing dingy about it, maybe because it's not recorded in 4K and showing the true colours. A real Torontonian would miss those aesthetics and remember vividly how colourful everything was.
Today it's all glass and concrete, it's uniform in aesthetics and boring, nothing pops out like the signs of the entire 80's, 90's and early 00's.
Towering buildings, flat facades, all 2D with LED.
Its the most recent pic from Google street view that I took a screenshot of, so I trust it is representative.Not accurate enough, where are all the scooter-Ubers guys hanging out? In their drab dark clothing, dirty shoes, dirty bikes, dirty helmets?

Uber guys in drab clothing? Like the suits in 1990? lol.
As for colours, we certainly have a lot of colours today. The big LED screens are beautiful and futuristic.
The glass buildings are stylish.
It isn't like the 1990 video shows a rustic green Toronto.
It is also cement, glass and concrete.
