Wow, that's great! It's been a long time since I've seen the ice cream man. Very well done. Thanks.
Very Nice!
Total duration 57 minutes: Henry Ford The Road to Happiness PBS Nova
Enjoyed that immensely! Some old things I recognize, and some things I don't. What strikes me is that the older pictures [[1950's & 60's) everyone looked quasi dressed up. Women in neat dresses, men in shirts, ties & hats. I am all about casual comfort. but there is something to be said for making yourself look to present to the world. I really wanna drink some Vernor's now. Too bad I don't drink soda anymore.
That was an awesome video. I remember eating at Top Hat restaurant as child. I remember shopping at Hudsons and Kresge with my mom, always leaving with a Slush Puppy from the basement. I didn't realize the
Spirit of Detroit wasn't always there.
The abundance of movie theatres
At Eastland Mall was cool growing up. There were three or four of them, one inside the mall near the old food court[[no Burlington Coats), one in the parking lot, and one across Moross [[there was another somewhere near).
Waiting on the streetcars was always a joy growing up, even though by my time there were not many left.
I would take the old Detroit over what we are stuck with now anyday of the week. Seeing the city burn and turn into this slightly rebounding apocalyptic eyesore it is now hurts my heart cause Detroit will never be what it was before, only a cheap and smaller city made of of buildings with no character.
The diversity was great back then, I know there were race issues, but there are race issues now
Excellent I recognized almost everything. Thanks!!
Hey Bill I posted this same video on Wednesday.
Tks for the note Jackie I should look before I leap. I deleted my postQuote:

Nice, but now I miss Milroy's Fish & Chips, strawberry meringue pie for dessert, a lot.
