I have things to do, and you find this really neat vintage footage of road construction. Looks like I will be putting off some more things until tomorrow 😆

Interesting, the 1st reel opens and closes with shots of a very early Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.

I hope everyone enjoys these. I'm just tickled I can contribute as there are so many that share such great information here.

I watched a couple of the first ones this morning. I see there is a download button that I may try so I don't have to wait for it to load while I watch!

Hi, Rch101.
Thanks for sharing those links. There is some great old film there that is well worth a look for anybody with an interest in how it 'useta' be done.

Hi, Drujinin.
There is a program called Orbit Downloader that works pretty well for me. It downloads all sorts of stuff, Youtube included.

You might be surprised what I have on my PC. Sometimes, even I am surprised.
