Look at how stringy and lean the kids are from from 1:10 to 1:54. You can sure tell that this was before junk food, video games, and sedentary lifestyles. No one is fat, including the adults.
Great video find!!! I can see the authorities getting into a major snit about an open fire hydrant over here in drought country [CA and Western states when it doesn't rain], However, in my hometown Chicago?? I think that was a bit much ...
Wonderful video! Those appear to be Army National Guard troops with bayonets fixed on their M1s.... meaning they were there as a show of force to discourage rioting and looting.
Check out some of the old Chicago Transit Authority buses(vintage ones)in the video(trolleybuses and old-looks)

@Johns805 What do you mean it was a bit much?
If the CFD comes and they can't out out a fire, then what?
