It's cool seeing the young Tuner Turnpike, freshly opened on May 16th, 1953 in this film 17:18. The future home of the Cowboy Hall Of Fame, off of Route 66 is cool thing to see 17:41. The OKC Stockyards at 9:55 is really impressive.
The new neighbors got a tour of OK City in an apparently new '55 Chevrolet complete with a continental kit. That's an American Airlines, Douglas DC-6B taxing in at 4:48 followed by a Braniff International Airways, Convair 340. Nice look back at Oklahoma City in the mid 1950s (gosh I miss the oil derricks that used to be around much of the city). Thanks for sharing!
I was born in 1965 grew up in the Capital Hill district in the 70s I barely remember that John A. Brown it had a escalator soon as you come in the door off 25 st. also there was a theater across the street it was the Knob Hill,my parents met in the stock yard district ,Wow Macklanburg Duncan still looks almost same today I work down the street 😮..thanks for this 🤠

What one doesn’t see in this film is more telling than what is shown!! Think about it!!😳
