    If you go to the 3.32 mark there's a highboy parked in the street. I'm enjoying these colorized movies that are popping up.

    The Colorization's are odd sometimes The Sedan looks a little Plumb Gangster...The 40 Mopar and 40 Convertible fly by was cool but yeah the Highboy is all Hotrod thats for sure...

    When I first moved here there will still freight rails on a whole bunch of streets. None were still in use.

    You can still see them in alleys, and evidence of railroad architecture in buildings, as overhangs, curved walls, boxcar height loading docks, etc.

    There are still several vacant railroad grades here.

    WOW! I wonder how many folks today could parallel
    park on the right side of the road when going up hill and driving a manual transmission car?
    Neat to watch folks as they went about their daily life and men wore hats.
