Greensburg Indiana 1981-1982

These are home movie clips that I put together of Greensburg Indiana during the early 1980's. They were shot on my 8mm home movie camera with no sound. Things have really changed especially on Lincoln Street, allot of the retailers are gone, changed, or new buildings put up for new retail. The courthouse still had the limestone covering. The Elks, and the DeArmond buildings are still standing. To see things like the original K-Mart with the Scheidler Barn next to it, view the lot next to McDonalds where Taco Bell wasn't even thought of yet. And the Indiana State Route 3 Bypass under construction.

I was born in 87 and grew up in gburg. My WHOLE family is from, and lives there. This was really awesome for me to see. Thank you. I love looking at my mothers pictures (she is a baker) from when she was a child and a young adult and seeing how much gburg has changed. I like to look at her child hood photos and she will tell me what road the pic was taken on, it is weird to see how much it has changed.....how much I have seen it change in my life time alone.

Would you consider some time driving out to Adams outside Greensburg but using the old road, 421, that passes by the red barn, if it is still there, just before one turns left into Adams and film it and also film some of Adams, too? One can find nothing on-line about Adams or what it looks like now. We used to play as kids in Clifty Creek, just down the road or hill from where Willard Turner once lived and had stacks of old tires piled up around his house.

What is the title of this piece of music? Great choice! Surreal, as are the two videos you have posted. I very much like the other piece of music also in Greensburg, 1937, Part 1. If you have any footage of Greensburg in 1959 please post it. But thanks for what you have done here. I remember fondly G.C. Murphy's and The Fair Store and Batterton's Drug store that used to have a small mechanical monkey in the window with a baton in its hand that tapped the window. So long ago!

An exellent choice of music in this video, as in Greensburg, 1937, Part 1. I remember Marsh's Foodliner, as it was called when I was a kid (1950s). My third grade teacher at St. Mary's was Mrs. Schiedler...so I wondered about that when I saw Schiedler's Barn in this video. I hope someday someone will post a video with Grinnel's Sundry that used to stand next to Clemen's Hardware. My father, Harry G. Campbell and his brother used to own that store and the apts above it.
