I loved the "catch five" opening.

Interesting!:

"Relive the last days of the streetcar in Cleveland with this lyrical, avant-garde film completed shortly after they were gone forever. Catch a glimpse of Cleveland in the 1950s and witness people from all walks of life rubbing shoulders in cramped cars as seen through the lens of acclaimed local photographer Jasper Wood."

Great find.  Awesome to see trains crossing the D-S bridge.  And that CTS ticket booth on Public Square.  Wow!\
 
I also like the fact that people were appropriately dressed.
 
I love the advertisments for long gone places like stouffers and the arena.

Wow that was cool... and sad at the same time. That is the first time I've seen the old cars crossing the bridge.

Does anyone know of any videos taken inside what was then Union Terminal? I've seen hundreds of pictures, but I've never been able to find any videos of the interior.

AMEN!   What ever happened in this country where going out in public was no longer considered a reason to dress nicely?
