This from an old 16 MM film reel labeled "Boca Grande 1934." I had the film transferred to DV, and I trimmed it a little before posting here. I vacation in Boca Grande each spring at the Gasparilla Inn, and I'm interested in the history of the island. There are some familiar sites in this video like the golf clubhouse and some unfamiliar ones like the Japanese bridge on the golf course. Most of the video is people playing golf, picnicking, and walking on the beach. My family wonders why I bothered with this "boring" video, but I enjoyed finding the film for sale on eBay and taking it all the way to YouTube. Hopefully someone else will see it and appreciate it here. Best, Greg
I just watched this online version. It's so much darker than the original, I may re-upload. I'm not sure what format will work best to avoid the darkening when exporting/uploading this B&W video.
