2:18 to 4:20 in Black & White and also staring at 6:22 in color -- Dunapark Étterem Restaurant, 13th district, Szent István Park & Pozsonyi út. It's still there, looking pretty much the same outside and inside.
Beautiful footage. Was it originally shot on Super 8 film? I was 4 years old and living in Lansing at that time. Though I live in England now, it’s so lovely to see the streets I remember as a child.
As RK-vb1el said, the streetcar line on the bridge is already out of service (1973), but at 1:20 you can still see the tracks. These were removed in the summer of 1975. At 5:22 you can see the construction site of an ugly office building at Szent István Square, which was completed in 1974. So the footage is most likely from 1973.
This footage must have been made after 1972. Trams were running along Rákoczi street, crossing Erzsébet bridge until December 31, 1972 and there's no sign of them in this film.
I would say this is a 1973 and/or 1974 footage shot on Super 8mm B&W reversal film. My bet is for 1974. Definitely nothing to do with 1970. As for the color footage, based on its colors and granulation, I would say GDR ORWOCOLOR or USSR SOCHICOLOR Super 8 reversal stock.
не понимаю Сталина, почему он не разрешил даже на 10% сделать с немцами то, что они творили с беззащитными людьми в Советском союзе.... Немцы должны сделать Сталина святым, он просто их пощадил... а зря.
2:07 Wittenbergplatz with the biggest department store, where you get anything, especially about groceries. So you find food, that you can't call groceries, because you may buy it for celebrations.
0:14 I wonder what this tall frame behind (if looking from the West side) the Brandenburg Tor was built for. Did East Germans plan to build some construction for propaganda purposes over there?
Im a Lansing Native till this day. I just buried my mom. She was born in 1948 but she moved here in 1978. I know she wouldve loved to see this video. Thank you
Hi CW, this is great footage of Lansing. I'm currently creating a documentary on Lansing and would love to use this footage. Can you grant me permission to use it?
10.9% APR financing, and presumably that was with GOOD credit.... yikes! And it's funny, I don't ever remember Sawyer's Pontiac having huge windows in the showroom like that, it was largely a cinder block building by the 90s when I remember being around it. Wonder why the change??
85' Lansing looked like California back then! L-Town looks like S*** today, Crack, the 90's, Bad education, corruption in public services an still continues to fall..
