I thought some of you might enjoy seeing this.

a Mid-Fifties slice of life and landscape in Philadelphia and its surrounding towns.
With excellent color footage of downtown scenes, neighborhoods, the Mummers Parade,

Levittown, factories in Camden, NJ and many other subjects that can no longer be seen.

It was produced at the time by WPTZ Channel 3 and now known as KYW CBS 3. Pete Boyle Sr., father of Pete Boyle, cast member of Everybody Loves Raymond, had a children's show and is briefly shown in this clip. Some good shots of Dock St. as well.Notice too that all the cars shown are American!

Philly in the 50's. First thing that came to mind was Dick Clark and American Bandstand. I'm 68 now and I still miss it.
