Thank you for posting this video. This was the first Sabres game that I attended in person and I was sitting in the second row, three seats from the penalty box. The person filming this was only a few rows behind me.

Sabres won, 5-0.

That was pretty cool

Awesome!

Thanks for posting this. I have 12 years of memories there at Camp.

Great stuff, glad you know the year on this as the cars certainly look like 1948 and earlier along with old style buses. Thanks for posting

I am in Awe. I think my mother is the lady in the fur coat at area number 133 on the tape. She passed away when I was young and this makes me very happy to see her shopping with her friends. Would love to have the picture of her. Kathy Gardner-Heun.

how did Elmira survive without that traffic circle on Main St? (sarcasm)

My family came to America from Panama when this storm happened.

What neighborhood was this?

I love this, except for creepy Santa. Wish I knew who the policemen were. My Dad was on the force at that time.

This is what Elmira looked like before welfare. Good people every where you look. A city that had pride and people who were happy. I don't see any drug dealers on the street either. Men married to women and families, no freaks. We can go back to those days very easily . But you will have to get a job and take care of your self, not the government doing it for you.

I am more or less a born and raised on Long Island We just stayed at Horseheads just west of Elmira for a couple of days to go up to the races up at Watkins glen and the state park I said let's go drive around Elmira and check it out… I absolutely loved the city even though it's a real dump now but I can see that it was once a beautiful town. All the old buildings parks and statues and all the houses and college I hope everything starts looking better for the upstate region.. very historic and beautiful past Great video,just as I hoped it was

Thanks for sharing this! It was great to see how nice Elmira was back then.....I was born in 1950, but didn't move to Elmira until 1956...........wonderful days.....wonderful memories.

Now it's vacant buildings, opiate addicts panhandling, and ghetto thugs driving around. Not to mention, the gunslinger Elmira Police harassing everyone. Fuck this place.

Santa f*cked up Hellmira...new conspiracy

Those berries look like 'black caps'.They grow wild all over the finger lakes. They're very tasty. I've eaten hundreds just the way those two young men are.

Down near Penn a Yan I'm guessing?

I remember that Winter

Ohh yeah I remember reading in the history books back in my high school days about that creepy santa craze that was going around in the 40's.

That was one creepy santa at the end

I wish Elmira was still a nice city. Those days are long gone, I'm afraid...

spookie santa clause at the end

Hey, Chip! Is this your family's home movie footage?

WOW, what Elmira was like when I was only 2 years old. Why did it all have to change. Even though it was old, it was our beautiful Elmira all gone because of a lady named "Agnes".

Absolutely amazing to see my once gorgeous, prosperous & booming hometown of Elmira before the bastards destroyed it. So sad & powerful. Shows what Elmira once was & could one day once again BE if it had great intelligent leadership.

I'm going to the bluff tomorrow, can't believe this footage thanks for sharing. there is something magical about the finger lakes, you can feel the history almost like it was alive, this footage is amazing! home footage from 1948 and color to boot...your Dad was really ahead of his time in filming this, thank you for sharing.

Maurice Hughes. Love to see the city mom was born

I was swimming in my dads balls then.

What a difference 67 years make!

Loved watching this footage of Calico Cottage, which is still owned by members of the"Biggs" family.

Goddamn that video rig is so badass. You don't even need to take drugs to trip the fuck out. Love it.

Most excellent show. Thanks for the hq vid. THE BAND IS BACK WOOOT!

You wouldn't happen to have gotten that solo he did to I'd rather be with you would you? I'M Dying to see that again.

You can 'SEE' Bootsy's bass shaking my camera! Fantastic Funk!
