    This is on Texas Ave in the 70s, clearing 19th century buildings for a skyscraper I'm sure someone can figure out from the position from Jones Hall.

    I'm assuming Baby Boomers are still targets for higher end products, music from 30 and 40 years ago is the music of our youth, possibly a subtle suggestion that car X will make you feel like you did in 1970.

    I sorted out the copyright issues, got permission from UofH Digital library and replaced the music.

    After some back and forthing with UofH Digital Library, they agreed to let me use the footage. Had to change the music, the 50 year old record had an active copyright.

    The original source is the UofH Digital library, J.R. got permission to use the video. UofH has a general page about copyright and fair use and some of their material is public domain, I didn't check this specific item until later, it is copyrighted.

    I had to take the video down, there was a copyright issue.

    I think part of it was that WWII vets were only 15 years from having experienced victory as boys, and with their G.I. Bill education, had a can do attitude as men that gave them a great advantage over later generations.

    no Well, only five channels on TV, only rich people had VCRs, Pong had just been developed, so no video games at home, the internet didn't exist, no Iphone, MTV hadn't reduced everyone attention span to 5 seconds yet. Keep in mind, it was the day of mini skirts, halter tops and the bra less look, the girls might have come for the art, the guys came for the girls.

    It seems the Loews was showing grindhouse features by this time in it's history. "Disciples of Death" from Hong Kong and "A Man for Hanging". The original source said it was 1973, but it must of been 1972, the Loew's closed in 72.

    The Frick family donated their home movies to http://www.texasarchive.org. The original is 12 minutes long and silent. I edited what I considered the the best shots and added music.
