There used to be a radio station WXRD I think. Back in the 70's on the second floor b

so, is there any good news from the big cities that have been built since civil war-like chicago. what is the problem that our cities are so evil? we live by shiloh park and it looks like the USA is dissolving again. the drugs are everywhere and the democrat party seemsto have lost their way! our only hope is JESUS.

130 years babyyyyy

Location of the movie Groundhog Day.

What is amazing is I don't think anyone is mugging for the camera .. and then there are two boys bouncing up for it .. Definitely an era of hats .. This is lovely. Seen it before but thank you again.

I'm all for restoration but also putting the building to actual use. The city could use it for office space or a culture center with galleries. I just hate when they turn them into those boring, dusty museums. If you've seen one you've seen them all.

Fantastic!

People must have come from miles around; a glimpse of what it must have been like in so many communities across the country. Couldn't help but notice that I saw no obese people. A testament to the lack of prepared foods, fast food and restaurants in general as well as fewer desk jobs back then.

Very well done Jim! You fulfill your calling as our story teller!!

I grew up in Woodstock. I live in Minnesota now!

What a treasure trove of visual history of Woodstock and it's people of 100 years ago.

Great footage, thanks for posting. I loved the antique automobiles going the 'wrong way' on the square! The contrast between then and now is striking. Sad to see that our national culture, as reflected in public courtesies and demeanor, has devolved from a higher standard to a lower common denominator of behavior and presentation.

Nice job on the documentary Kirk.

I was born and raised in Woodstock...I lived at 1100 Dean Street from 1953 until 1968....you did a nice job representing this little town.....I live out in the Pacific Northwest...wanted to get away from the hot and humid weather...little did I know, due to climate change...can't get away from it anymore...how ironic.... ah well... I sang once, on the stage of the Opera House...stories said that Paul Newman, was involved in summer stock there one year, I laugh now when thinking about it...I spent some time racing cars and being involved in racing out in the Pacific Northwest...I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Newman when he raced out our way...and I asked him about his Woodstock stage experience... he laughed...looked up and then at me...with those ice blue eyes and said...how did you know about that? I replied, I was born and raised in Woodstock...I described the town square....and he hunkered down and told me....yup...he acted there one summer....I told him...and I didn't mean any disrespect....I think your acting career is doing a heck of a lot better than your racing one....(he had already blown one engine...and, during the race after we spoke...he blew another one....ah well...to anyone who has never met Paul Newman (rest in peace now, kind sir) he was short, very very thin....but had a great smile and sense of humor.....so...that said...enjoy Woodstock, Illinois...I wish I could move back there and live....it was a very sweet little town...regardless of what people say....I loved it....and miss it.

Nice production, too. The Fyfe construction was also a aesthetic inspiration to me in the early '60a

It's closed now up for lease. It was fun living there. I had my pharmacy right there and even a restaurant. I haven't been there since 1999 though so I'm not sure what's up there. I miss it a lot.

founded in 1844 but still only have 25,000 in population.

now the top thing of the courthouse is bronze.

I'VE MET THIS GUY AT DEAN STREET ELEM I REMEMBER

great footage !

Nice to see this but, would of loved if at the time they would of filmed more of the buildings.

I lived on 220 N. Benton on the Woodstock Square!!

It would be wonderful to have this building continue to be used for the benefit of the people of Woodstock. It is a beautiful gathering place. It would be nice to have another restaurant move into the basement and use the prison cells as private dining rooms as they were at the time that the movie "Groundhog Day" was made.

Thanks for posting this!
