A clip from a 1983 training film made in Houston. Dig the office equipment at the beginning. Full film at http://texasarchive.org/library/index.php?title=2011_02146

Other than these two downtown scenes, don't recognize the neighborhoods. You can see the full film at http://texasarchive.org/library/index.php?title=Target_Delinquency_-_The_World_of_Billy_Joe

Ditto on Shorpy's, I also collect New Orleans which they have a lot of good one. Also some good Kodachromes slides from the 40s and 50s.

I grew up with the story of the loss of the USS Houston during World War II and the men who volunteered to replace the lost sailors. Somehow seeing this short clip in front of the Metropolitan and Loew's makes the event much more real for me than just a story I heard.

Back in the 80s I got hooked on collecting antique Houston postcards, shifted to vintages images when google came around, and now love hunting vintage houston footage, coming across some cool stuff over the last few years. I post them here as I find them.

You're right. The original is even slower, I edited the sound track to get the guy to come to point, a lot of slow folksy talking to seem more trust worthy, I guess. Or maybe we can just process information a lot faster now.

Can't believe it's over 40 years. I'm getting old.

The McClendon shot almost got me teary, sad to see the decay.

Ah, Houston Street. Popped up in google search, confused the heck out of me.

I know we had a Majestic and Burt Shoe, but I really don't recognize the rest. Is this our hometown? http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c3/ad/ed/c3adedf47ac7949e3490e62ded911cb1.jpg

A close look at the sign shows more detail than I remember on later signs.
