makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

This was from my childhood in the D: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFjTUzAXWtc
and one from my Dad's early days in the D as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq-gtYO9g2o

I wonder when they stopped hanging garlands across the streets. Money, I guess, is the reason why.

Re: sg9018's original post from 1962. I'm not that familiar with the neighborhood today, but hasn't every single building shown in the video on the east side of Woodward been leveled for stadium parking, other than the last holdout--St John's?
