Tainan 1971 Vintage Video

From pbyardh on Youtube:

This footage shot by father-in-law Ted Staberow, who with wife
Elayne came to visit Joyce and me, in June 1971. I was stationed in
Tainan while with the USAF, and we lived at #2 Lane 181 Ta Tung Lu. The
house behind the red gate was our home. Ted took his Super 8 movie
camera and stood out on the street to shoot what he saw, which was
traffic heading south towards Kaohsiung, and north up to Tainan city
center and beyond. Sorry, there is no sound. He also was very attentive
to any female passerbys. A good glimpse of this really excellent city
back then, though I hear this stretch of Ta Tung Lu is gone, due to an
intersection with a new north/south expressway. Back in 1971 this was
the north south expressway.Somewhere along here was the exploding whale, I think, a couple of years ago, but don't quite know.
