Holy Crap! I'm in this video.
8:30. That's me in front of the camera, guiding my bike.
That's my bike, because it was yellow but white in the pic, and it had an extended frame. You can see the fork and seat are longer.
I, and 2 others here, lived across the street, 421 Cedar, #22 from where this was built.
I cross the screen guiding my bike, my friend Jerry Edelstein on my left in front of me.
We're chanting something.
Between Jerry and I, in the background, is my friend Mark.
Behind me with his fist in the air is another friend, Bill.
We protested this. George Romney, the Sec of HUD, yes, Mitt's Father, came to see it and we protested.
unbelievable.
only Bill and I are alive today.
This was 1972
I interned at Orfield Labs (Sound 80) when I was finishing college. Super cool to see and learn all the history of the building. My first project was rewiring one of the old studio rooms to be able to record again. Lots of cool old equipment still in the building too. Plus the anechoic chamber is a wild experience.
Remember the parents shopping at the Co-Ops back in the day. 70's were a glorious time to be alive.
Sure crime drugs racism sexism whife beatings nixon.. Yahhh 70s
Don’t forget about the ever expanding suburbs and the disappearing rural farmland within the now 494/694 Freeway Loop.
Let’s not forget that great 1970’s news publication from Roseville, Minnesota where Dave Kenney started his writing career…Parkview Junior High’s student newspaper “The Panther’s Paw”.
The IDS building is where a scene from Purple Rain was filmed, the one where Prince asks Apollonia for her ankle bracelet (the Lake Minnetonka scene).
Another Mpls. band from the early 70's was a group called GYPSY. I don't know how many albums they put out but their 2 record LP is a hidden gem IMO. Also the local band CROW had a few semi hits including the song Evil Woman that was covered by Black Sabbath on their debut album. They also had a semi hit called Cottage Cheese.
Gypsy put out 4 albums. They weren't a big commercial success, I think Gypsy Queen got the most airplay, but I really liked a lot of their stuff. They have been somewhat popular on TH-cam for a while now. They were the house band at the Whisky a Go Go for two or three years. You used to be able to buy their music on CD, I don't know if you still can. The drummer after leaving Gypsy played with Robin Trower and Sly Stone.
Gypsy is an awesome band!
Anti-pollution PSAs were financed by big businesses, who pushed the "keep it clean" agenda onto consumers while ramping up the production of disposable plastic packaging. Three minutes in, and this program feels like a propaganda piece.
Is there a video on Minnesota in 60s?
This is a great doc kudos pbs
Ski u mah legacy
My uncle Steve owns sounds 80 now
Is your uncle from highland and had a huge hit about a fxxxx town?
This was the Twin Cities at its peak. I still live in Minneapolis, but I call it Detroit. The best part of this was about the co-ops, which only cater to rich people now.
I moved from Rochester to Jonathan in 1990, I had no idea at the time that it had been a planned community, but I always thought there were some odd design choices in the townhomes and such... But the walkways/pathways that went all around the area was pretty cool... Weird that they didn't show the iconic Silo. My wife and I eventually built a house a few years later just down the hill in one of the first new developments in the area. Also, I worked at the Red Owl in Farmington in 1979 & 1980.
8:48 crazy that riverside went from “futuristic looking buildings” to the gutter.
I remember the 70's I think of Big Wheels, Legos and later we were concerned about a new ice age and a missile gap with USSR.
It was a wonderful time for me and my family. But i know it was not always for everyone and it was a scary time too. Bu
It was not perfect. But it still felt more positive and hopeful than today. It was exciting and scary all at once. ☮️💟
No mention of the building of the IDS and the impact on Minneapolis architecture?
this isn't minnesota. This is called minneapolis in the seventies
There was a segment on Duluth etc.
Now co-ops have some of the highest prices, whereas back then, they had the cheapest prices.
Jeezus, who did the closed captioning? So many errors.
I grew up at Grand and Lexington in St Paul and remember being disturbed by a PBS documentary on all of the runaway kids being involved in trafficking in New York City and I pondered how is it that adults haven't gotten this right yet, lots to take in for a innocent 10-year-old, I'm surprised that this PBS Minnesota documentary has comments usually they can't handle don't want to hear countering views
Yep, Minnesota went to the puppies in the 70s.
❄️❄️❄️❄️
A better place.
Where is your Sign off from 1971
It's like if Corn flake went to the Disco
Mn. Come for the hot dish stay for the weather
1976
Hey. its the origin of woke.
We know who to blame. 2024- The death of Woke.
Since the 70's yes, that is when the woke crap started.
No one should ever doubt PBS's narrow-mindedness and solipsism. Ben Wattenburg, Hubert Humphrey's campaign manager from the East Coast, wrote a book about American national politics in the early 1970s, after Humphrey had lost to Nixon, that focused pretty heavily on Charles Stenvig's rise in Minneapolis, three decades after Humphrey's, as being enormously important for understanding the politics of the 1970s across the country. Stenvig merits no mention by local PBS in discussing the 1970s in Minnesota, but yet, Paul Wellstone's political career, that did not begin until the 1990s, is somehow vitally important. This is genuinely, bad history and glaringly self-indulgent. I am so glad that public money is available to explore and propagandize for the narcissistic worldview of urban, white, professional-class liberals whose viewpoint and lived experience is so marginalized within our culture.
If any of you where we the people let alone had a clue what protects freedom and Justice exactly your jobs as we the people you would understand exactly how to find truth and make politician tell the truth and do there jobs exactly your jobs as we the people
@@UntouchableLivingone-ji4un exactly.
Well be last with water unlike Cali 🤣🤣🤣
I spent a few days in Minneapolis in 72 for selling the trib. It was great fun I ran lose through downtown mpls I was 12 from nd no adult suprvision, no problems at all
This comment is inadvertently hilarious! The omission of Stenvig may or may not be relevant, but then the argument degenerates into the very “narrow-mindedness” and “solipsism” the author claims to want remedy - which totally undermines the whole thing! 😂 A great example for how not to debate! 😂
Funny after the 1970s Minnesota turned into a $hithole..
I dunno, it’s better than most other states.
@@Sebman1113 No, it's not I grew up there, and when I visit it's culture shock. The people seem to be on self destruct.
@@mikeekim242 A bunch of angry self-absorbed people in their cars. It's no wonder really when you consider the lack of actual community, endless sprawl and massive income inequality...

Too bad interstate 335 faced so much opposition during this time and was never built.
Is ayd Mill road a derivative of that?
I grew up near Grand and Lexington in St Paul and recall it being semi-completed but never done
The beginning of the end 🤦🏿♀️

Horrible documentary... couldn't you find more political and negative BS to fill it with... I lived in Mnnesota in the '70's it was a simple and good time but you steep it with negativity... awful
It wasn’t “a simpler time”. I am old enough to remember the bombings and the hostages in the news and the drugs, prostitution and crime in my city. I’m also old enough to remember playing without supervision until dusk, riding my bike in the streets, and some really great music. There was good and bad stuff everywhere. Also, I remember my folks being very political in the 1970s. We had stagflation and gas lines and domestic and foreign conflicts. We had a declining real estate market. We had soldiers coming back from Vietnam. Politics are an integral part of history, and they inspire laws that are meant to protect all of our freedoms. We wouldn’t have had the Gilded Age, the Great Depression, two world wars, the Vietnam war… heck, this country wouldn’t exist at all without politics. So don’t “back in my day” this video. As a person with Silent Generation parents who grew up dirt poor and from very diverse backgrounds, they told me that there never was a “simpler time” - it all sucked eggs. And politics, I hate to break it to you, have shaped everything about our country.
So many boomers gonna be invading the comment section of this video. hahahaha "those were the days" when in reality it was the same as today, just more boring.
You edited your comment and still got it wrong. Well done!@@corkidecat6449
I’m not a boomer but nothing in the past is ‘the same’ as now. Some things were better, and other things not so much.
@@johnfern, maybe ‘fascism’ could make The Twin cities clean, civilized, and relatively crime-free again.
Why, Golly. Those are our only choices of course.
Charlie Stenvig was more than a tad “Fascist”.
Knee'd to know what's neck'st for this city...? I'll bet you a fake $20 you'll never guess...
Speaking of fake twenties, there was a comment regarding the counterfeiting that said that prior to his self-destruction one of the largest counterfeit rings had been caught up near international falls supposedly with train cars full of money, with the players involved on lake Street and their criminal pasts, curious if you have any insights, it was on the power line blog
