Скачать или смотреть Toronto’s 1960s Hippie Hub You’ve Never Heard Of | The T.O. You Don’t Know

Before Yorkville became one of Toronto’s most upscale neighbourhoods, it was the epicentre of 1960s hippie counterculture.

Back then, it was famed for its coffee houses, clubs, and “happenings.” Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and many other legendary artists hung out here, and John Lennon even debuted the Plastic Ono Band in the area.

The scene burned bright but fast — within just a few years, the hippies had traded free love for marriage, 2.4 kids, and a family sedan.

This unbelievable true story is part of The T.O. You Don’t Know, a city-wide storytelling experience uncovering Toronto’s wildest forgotten histories.
