Amazing to see how things looked and were before i was born or before i was even a thought. Im 23 and my parents were the age i am now when this was filmed.

[rtabish]

i remember all that. had to download it and slow it down, but it was all familiar. the old women's gym at Hellgate, West Brooks out to what is now Gharrett, Circle Square without the XXXs. seems funny to think that if the City let THAT much snow pile up now, there would be PANIC!!

[MontanaErik]

Not a Japanese car in sight. Sweetness.

[digzie1]

[channelKJTW]

[sohooded]

all legends in their own minds.

[Davido2345]

Thats so kool

[Neweddy24]

Surprising how little it's changed in forty years,

[rrmmt23]

agreed lol and the traffic is still terrible 40 years later just like it was back then

[sohooded]

Yeah, still as bone chilling cold...and smelly.

[cusanusnicolas]

I'm doing my part... but you're not entirely wrong, either...

[cusanusnicolas]

So what year did the feds put in the cocaine racket on Palmer? I don't know much, I was just born there and graduated from UM in 1974. and Stinkkinium, is he still the computer geek for public education, and his team of FAT ones, how's the plan going for porn as a new curriculum in public schools? Some real doozies you got out there...

[NotAnotherClinton]

Dont you just love youtube! Thanks for posting.

[christocolumbo]

Yes!, My old street made it on there for a second...Kensington Ave. I also used to live behind K Mart on Dore Ln. Thanks for posting this! Wish I still lived there sometimes. It's the best town ever. (1977-1998)

[rfnick]

Thank you for responding! I do remember the Fuquay name, however don't know any of them personally. I seem to remember a Dan Fuquay who played guitar in one of my favorite local bands, The Boogiemen. By any chance are you that Dan? (DAN-djag)

[tlnewt99]

Very Nice!

[rfnick]

Correction: The address is 2629 Arcadia. (Fat finger disease)

[dandjag]

Thats right, 2629 arcadia is where we lived when I was a kid.The Fuquays

[oscarmacaroni]

do you have this in normal time? if you do please post.

[prettynoose8497]

@dandjag Awesome! This is before I was born; but I wish I was there in 1968. Listening to the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Beatles, and Grateful Dead on the radio and going to the U of M for classes.

[rfnick]

I've read all of the postings, and a couple of you thought the address is 6679 Briggs. I drove out there today, (cuz I have no life!)and I believe the address is actually 2619 Arcadia Drive. The house is still there. Pretty cool! I would still like to know if dandjag still lives in Missoula. Just wondering if I might know your family.

[hpd611]

That was great. I'm a 3rd generation Missoulian and now I live in Hamilton. My grandparents used to own the Conoco station on brooks near Hellgate HS. That was great and I would also like to see this video in normal time.

Thanks!

[bobnicklay]

Thank you for posting this! It was great seeing the old familiar landmarks. Do you still live in Missoula?

[fieldnine]

Was there from 1972 through 1977 thanks for the drive by. I have a lot of stills of some of the sites you pass by on the video.

[moesephur]

\Thank you for this gift to youtube. I love my little town!! One day I will return.

[wetmoose1960]

This is a classic blast from the past! I love the old Trempers, NP depot and Holiday Village, and the classic car! Those were the days.

[bbburton]

I started college at UofM in the fall of 1968. It would be great to see this at normal speed. Looks like you came in from Miller Creek headed toward town down Brooks, then north on Higgins toward the old NP Depot then down Railroad to Pattie to Spruce back to Higgins back to Brooks headed towards Lolo and back home. Missoula was a great place to live back then. I'll never forget my time there and the friends I made. It sure has changed in the last 40 years. But I still love the place.

[FFFFFFFFFreak]

COLT $%

[qu1z]

Missoula looked pretty busy back then... too bad people don't cruise the drag as much as they used too (downtown). Now missoula is full of a lot of more liberals, so the town has become worse.

[jbsalt]

Way to politicize a wonderful piece of history. Get a life, qu1z.

[sfca925]

Ah, wine, women, and LSD--wish I could go back to '68 Missoula (even in the winter). Thanks for the posting.

[wtfomgrofllol319]

wow hellgate looked so different

[pitatapiu]

such a busy little town

[svakanda]

wow what a trip

[Twoteka]

anonamous yes it is true i live in missoula, but they are mostly expanding out towards the airport(since its almost the only open land lol)

[toon1910]

amazing i even recognized some of it i was there a few years ago

[swk38]

totally polluted with individuals from the west coast seeking cheap land

[splivey]

And now polluted with old, ex-drug dealers, losers, and burned out untalented, so-called musicians.

[anonymoususerindenve]

My family first started going to UM in the late 30's (we're from Sidney/Glasgow/Miles City) and my Dad went to grad school in the summers of 74-76, and we lived there. I went to grad school there 92-94, and I can recognize nearly eveything there, though the signs change, etc. I haven't been to Missoula since 1998, and I hear it's astounding how things have exploded out towards the airport. I hear the Bitteroot Valley is just obscene; no open spaces to speak of....is that true?

[minivan442]

AMAZING! Sorry its just shocking to see your own town that you live in and see stuff everyday 40 years before.

[easternln]

Fantastic! Thanks for posting this.

[pyenapple]

Thanks for this, it's brilliant!

[Shegmt]

Please also post the normal version!

Very interesting-

[nubbyhubby]

It's "through", not "threw". You drove through a town, you threw a ball.

[mtdave2]

im amazed by folks who have to point out stuff like that. Is this English class? How does your comment add anything to this? I would bet your they person when looking at a priceless work of art comment only on how the frame should be a different color....

[nubbyhubby]

My comment adds to this because it tells you the proper word to use. If you change it, it will then be correct and you won't look stupid to the rest of the world.

[pyenapple]

I think you mean "I would bet YOU'RE THE [type of] person who, when looking at a priceless work of art, WOULD comment..." My friend, clear and correct use of language will get you far. Misspellings and poor grammar just serve to make you look, as nubbyhubby said below, stupid to the rest of the world.

[mtdave2]

(part 3)

left on brooks. (there is a big change on brooks an interesting hard right and left) he takes the right then a hard left onto paxston st. all the way down to a left on 39th. left on Gharnett, then a right on briggs, to his home.

so many cool details in there, amazing piece of history for missoula natives.

[mtdave2]

(part 2)

the same way back from down town, just turned right off higgins when film fades, when it comes back, he is looking

toward sentinel highschool on bow st, with brooks in front of him. right on brooks. left into the holiday village, leaves with left on kengsington, left on brooks. then right on west central into trempers shopping center (wow buttreys!)

[mtdave2]

i figured it out! the address is 6679 briggs st. leave house, left on Gharnett, right on 39th. left on dore ln (the old kmart will be on the left) right on brooks and all the way down to higgins (nice view of hellgate highschool at the light) right on higgins, any missoulian should reconize the downtown part.

[easternln]

The Kmart wasn't built in 1968. The "new" highway wasn't completed until the early 1970's. Either the date is wrong or the building isn't Kmart. The location would have been an empty field in 1968. Is 6679 briggs close to Cold Springs school? I went 1st - 3rd grade there and lived in lower miller creek in this time frame. Very cool.

[mtdave2]

holy crap is that a jem! what do you know about the film? i would LOVE to see it at normal speed. any chance of posting that? wow,price less
