VCU RICHMOND VA circa 1977 filmed by Glenn Hamm (version 2) PART 1 of 2

VCU RICHMOND circa 1977 filmed by art professor Glenn Hamm

this version is slightly better quality although Youtube always squashes the pixels... ive annotated some things i know that were there in the 70s.. many landmarks are still here today in richmond / at vcu / or on grace st




if anyone out there spots more things that should be annotated please let me know.. this is historic footage 30 years later... richmond has changed!!

also, you can turn off annotations if they annoy you

be sure to watch in High Quality...

film by Glenn Hamm -- rest in peace

i think at :59 is "gracie". i lived next door to her on north harrison in 74-75. she was the sweetest little woman and she knew everyone. she had to be near 90. i need to watch the rest. thanks for posting.....

hey woodewood--- thats a pretty incredible detail -- i spotted her in the film and thought she looked like a charming little old lady taking her afternoon stroll.. nice that you remembered her.. thanks for the comment! im so glad people are adding details like that.. i guess this is pretty historic footage at this point... : )

hey henhousered.. thanks for the comments.. you are pretty much right on with all of these observations i think... and it's cool that you were able to mark the spots here in youtube... i figured this was an excellent film to share with current richmonders to give people a sense of how much things have changed... and what has remained as well... take care and thanks for checking out the video

I was recently a resident of the Richmond area.

It wasn't a bad experience, but when you go around the city you'll see places that don't seem to have changed much at all since the seventies; those areas gave me a creepy feeling and I couldn't help it.

Charlotte, a city that Richmond is at times compared to, looks much more modern and up-to-date.

What great memories this brings back.

Richmond has changed, except for the sidewalks! They are still crap! :) LOVE seeing the films. It's like a time machine.
