Moving this video to grinter's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Pretty much anything goes when it came to "rules of the road". An exciting time to be sure.

Absolutely, but we also see the same cars cutting in front of the camera over and over again. I think they paid some locals to make the street seem more hectic than it would have otherwise been.

It's crazy to look at a day which took place so long ago. All of these long dead people who could never imagine that somewhere, in some way, their faces and smiles would be seen again in the year 2014 in a flickering electronic glow.

You could almost imagine that day, and for them, seeing the weird camera rig set up on a car. Kind of thing you'd remember and talk about for a bit, then just forget as time went on. And there it is, 2 seconds from a day you barely remembered and it's destined to last the distance of human civilization. Always there to be turned back on and come back to life.

Toward the end there's a kid on the right side of the screen who hitches a ride on the back of one of the cars. He hops off toward the end of the street as the camera follows behind him for a bit. Just before he reaches the building and turns around to smile, a car crosses his path full of well dressed guys and the kid raises his hat in what I want to imagine was with a sarcastic ear to ear grin.

1906. Just crazy.

If you told these people that 100 years later we'd have smart phones in our pockets, but we can't keep high social pathology folks from taking dumps on the street and mugging people in broad daylight, they'd never believe you.

I recognize this neighborhood and, these days, am probably in it more than a few hours every month (if not more)... only a mere 108 years late for the filming!

Boooooooo! NOT a duper Yearof thePuma-pooper-I call shenanigans-The other had authentic--sounding Foley added.
*discuss and shame on you chicchorea, of all users, you should have seen the difference there copper-top-

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - discuss requested by chingalera.

The footage appears to be the same as the dupe'd video, but I prefer the old-timey soundtrack to the modern instrumentals on this. Not sure that my personal preferences will do much to sway judges on sift law though.

Hence, and regardless of the errant duping by certain sloppy members flexing their p'shaw and according to the rules of this game, not a dupe-

It takes a special person with lives outside of this stulltificant festival to make the needed tweak or otherwise, anappropriate adjustment...This place is in serious need of some cleansing and or participative input....

The other video is not a dupe. It has been un-killed and its votes returned.

*return

Returning this video from Sift Talk - return requested by lucky760.
