My dad grew up there and lived on Ludlow, up the street and around the corner from St. Patrick's Catholic church. He graduated from that old high school shown @ 2:05 in 1935's class. They're all gone now, but his family was pretty well known around there at that time.
I want to thank you so much for this video..The music fits well to it as well..I have been trying to find footage or pics of the north east Bellefontaine area 1960s and before..Its a projectIm doin..Like the municipal pool during its construction,and possum run creek before all the houses took over the area in the mid 70s..the gravel road running between the cemetery and the creek which eventually led out to the water tower.All fields and woods..There used to be a spot in this creek that was nearly 10 feet deep..We used to walk around it when around that area in 60s..The hidden road does have a name I read about but cant remember.We always just called it cemetery road..Also,Allison road before it was paved and cemetery area before it was a cemetary pre-1905 or Dairy Queen in mid 1960s..Stuff like this would be cool too...Again,thanks for the video,its really educating..Hope youll do another one sometime soon.

At 4:28 ... isn't that a pic of the shortest (or first?) Concrete street in the U.S.?
CD 1 it’s not the concrete street but yes it’s McKinley St, Shortest St in America!

+Chris Weeks You are very welcome Chris!
Hey! I live there
man a lot has changed
+osubucks552012 That's for sure!
+ReelNostalgia I wish that there were more trees and that Bellefontaine was smaller. I would love it.
WOW that is insane to know that that is the city that I live in!
My Dad was born in Logan County in 1905. His grandparents must have settled there in the mid 1800s but Im not sure.
Nice nostalgic look, but one of those photos was labeled Glouster, OH.
enjoyed pictures but would like find web site
So, exactly what was the principal occupation in Bellefontaine during the 1930's?

Does the depot still exist?
No. But most of the platforms, telephone poles, and other small things are still there.
