Man, this brings back memories. According to the time stamp, for me this would've been the summer between 4th and 5th grade (Stevens Elementary represent!). Mac's and the Smoke Shop (right before the turn onto the bridge) was my father's stomping grounds. He supported us all through the 80s playing poker in the back room at Mac's. I used to ride my bike into the alley behind the tavern to the back door to see how his game was going. If he was ahead, he'd always give me some money, and my friends and I would ride to the arcade. I think my brother Zach runs Mac's these days.
The most scary part is that it looks exactly the same with the exception of the cars.... It's like the Aberdeen area is trapped in the 80s. Like zero growth and development since the 80s.
Pre spotted owl and real estate bust. I disagree that it looks the same. The same buildings, but the town just feels beaten and hollow and has since at least the early 1990s.
I'm from here and I've always wanted to see what it looked like back then. Thank you for sharing this.
amazing how much cleaner it is back then and look at it now
same lol
Better than the original 1982 video, which some businesses were refurbishing.
Good ole finch building. Miss seeing it there. I watched the smoke shop go up in flames and man was it hot even from a block away.

And that's ok! So many places have changed too much 😢😊

Wow, really cool historic. See how it used to be.
Getting sent a video of a road I drive on fairly regularly is vaguely threatening
thanks really cool i drive here often
Aberdeen class of 86
It’s seems same until now 2023 the roads and the housez the different only the vehicles
This is great!
Can anyone identify the coupe that merges at 4:35?
Definitely an early 70s Lincoln or Mercury coupe, appears to be a Marquis or a Continental (non-Mark).
