Ahhh! The old neighbourhood where I grew up. Looking up Alameda Avenue, you can see St Joseph’s Hospital and the water tower at the Walt Disney Studio.
I had no idea any tapes like this were still around. Great to see. The 50’s look so much more “real” on video.
Okay. When I was in my early teens NBC had a program called, “Here’s Hollywood.” 4 p.m. Eastern Time. The program was celebrity interviews and opened with the host driving down the street in the curb lane and the TV truck next to it.

One of the local Indianapolis kids TV hosts showed him casually walking around Monument Circle while the TV truck recorded the scene.
A few blocks away. It certainly looks different now.
Cool!
