Those newsreel videos are pretty neat. It’s even better than Google Earth’s time slider. It was especially interesting to note the light traffic all around town – downtown and on the new freeways. Of course, I’m sure people back then bitched about how bad it was, lol.
OMG!
Those old videos are fantastic!
I especially enjoy how Houston’s mod architecture was crisp with strong right angles, while mod vehicles were swoopy with aerodynamic bits.
