Thanks so much for posting this! I could see our family bookstore at 8th & Throckmorton; Dad never missed a day of work, he was probably there, ànswering the phone and running the cash register when this was filmed. Miss you, Dad.
We moved from West Texas to North Texas fort Worth to be exact in 1967 me My brother and two sisters. I was7 at the time seeing downtown fort Worth was amazing to me. Coming from a small town I said to myself what a giant city.
I watched the CNB building being built. You could go in the elevator to the 27th floor and walk up to the roof, door wasn't locked. My school buddies would go to the edge and "spit" to the street and time how long it took to hit the street. Dangerous as hell, we didn't know that!
So many buildings that aren't there anymore, the CNB Bank building (with a WORKING, revolving clock), the Convention Center nearing completion, what looked like the footprint of a former roundhouse. Things sure did change over time in the town of the cow.
Do you remember the humidity in FW to be much lower back then? We had Horny Toads around our house. I always associated their disappearance with rising humidity.
I remember that old skyline well. You could see that clock on top the old CNB building practically anywhere in the city. The Worth Hotel and Medical Arts building still standing and the revolving Conoco sign still there. A lot of change.
Major understatement! Right? I was 8 in 1968. I’m 64 now. Things have dramatically changed over the years. We moved to Central Texas 10 years ago and when I go back to Fort Worth, it’s barely recognizable in some areas of town. So much so I have to use navigation so I don’t get lost. Crazy.
I remember this skyline quite well and I must say this was the real Ft Worth cowtown I wish that they would have built more taller slender buildings because the ones built in the 80s are too wide and bulky

I was 6. We lived off of I-20 and Trail Lake and could see the CNB clock from our house. To me, that was the coolest thing ever. Thank you.

Neat that you can see a few slices of the roundhouse on Google Maps

Butler projects at the beginning.
yep. look how nice they were LOL
That's what I thought.
Why didn’t they film the Tarrant County Courthouse? I find that really odd.

i was 1 yr old.
I wish they never took down that cnb building . Could have been iconic for the years to come.
It was "heavy maintance" and falling apart. Not worth the repairs.
0:30 all these houses have been destroyed and forgotten
Looked like the projexts.
