Wow its crazy to see what Minneapolis looked like back then, Me being a youngin and all. I recognized most of these places but there re some big differences!
Ollie, I'm blown away that you found this! It was shot in b/w to save money as it was film. Also I was thinking that lack of color could make it more of an imaginary space. It maybe 84 but I was away in school 85'. I look at it now and I just think what a wacky film effort. I still love that the film surface is worked... I'm stunned by the time traveler too. -Geoff
The punk rockers at 12:46 are me and my then-girlfriend. But I am thinking this was shot in 1985, as Northern Lights records wasn't in the location shown in this film until then.
this is awesome to see. i'd love to see someone re-create this in 2012 and split screen the shots.. well, don't know how much i'd 'love' it, but you'd certainly get the shots of people on cell phones in there..
Wow, thanks for posting. Finally get to see this after hearing about it for years. I especially like how not one person is talking or texting on a cell phone!
This video just reaffirms in my mind that the roads have always been crap in MPLS.

This is fascinating to watch. I love 80s footage like this! Especially when it's local. I see the Uptown theater is still recognizable.

@indiemusicresources It would involve walking through the expanded Mcdonald's, but, I think it would be cool to see a 2012 version!
