This film was originally an advertisement for the City Windsor, showing off all the cities modern amenities.
I found the film in the Charlie Fox collection, but it was produced by a gentleman named Meyer. (Who was not from this region).
Depicted in this film are some amazing scenes from mid 1950's Windsor...
Ouellette Avenue
The SS Aquarama
Windsor Airport
Detroit Skyline
Malden Park (Dump)
Chrysler
Ford
Train Ferries
Construction of Dieppe Gardens
Ambassador Bridge Plaza
Oh and who is the guy carrying the hockey stick at the 3:10 mark?

~~I remember the tower on Walker Rd. when we walked to Gramma's house up Ypres from Bernard Rd. to George Ave and I would look at that tower in wonderment every time we went. My grandfather built the house on 2417 George, still there . He was from Liverpool, England near where the Beatles grew up. Great memories. Thanks for sharing. I still look for that tower, I don't think is still there. haha

Very nice. I didn't even realize the sounds where dubbed until we got to the planes which had piston engine sounds on turbo props.

My grandpa had a cottage in Colchester Ontario on Lake Erie from 1945 to 1978. Do any older folks on here remember how the lights in Ontario had a flicker in them up until 1950? My grandpa (who was an electrical Engineer at Detroit Edison) mentioned that the Ontario Hydro (now Hydro One) electric grid functioned at 25 hertz until about 1950 when hydro upgraded its system to 60 hertz . I was 12 years old when grandpa sold his place near Colchester.
