Chaplin's Bay Area Footsteps - A Tour of Chaplin Locations with John Bengtson

John Bengtson has been a friend of NESFM for years now, and he joins us to give one of his famous location tours. What began as a hobby for Bengtson soon led him to be the authority on silent film locations, not only for our museum, but for Blu-Ray releases, live events, and more.

It’s amazing how big silent films actually were in those days you can really see the industriousness of it all.

My takeaway from this is that they built houses and apartment buildings to last back in the day.

5:19 A jitney really wasn't "a car you could rent" it was usually a bus type vehicle that ran a regular route and originally cost a nickel. In some places and times, a nickel was actually referred to a s a "jitney" as a result. Not really an Uber comparison. :)
