Late 1950's early 1960's Florida travel promotional video of the City Beautiful.
The video is almost 20 minutes so grab a cup of coffee & relax ;)
See if you can recognize any of the locations?
I grew up in Florida and I find it difficult describing what Orlando looked like before Disney. I'm gonna save this.
The propeller airliner seen at 5:55 is an Eastern Airlines, Douglas DC-7B which first entered service with EAL in 1955. Curiously, the interior of Eastern's "sevens" was designed by Harley Earl, then Vice President in charge of styling for General Motors. Nice, vintage film of Orlando before it greatly changed due to "the mouse." Thanks for sharing!
We paved paradise & put up a parking lot.
Live in Tampa but in the sixties my parents sentbme to a private boarding school in Forest City a suburb of Orlando. Beautiful area to live. Nice clean small town with plenty of choices for entertainment. Loved living there but once I finished high school, left and very seldom have gone back. Disney sprawl took the small town feel away
Forest Lake Academy?
That Minute Maid plant was moved to the industrial zone of Orlando while the old building was repurposed into a live theatre for music. Now it’s been abandoned since that shooting many years ago. The city has no clue what to do with it. Although it sits in the trendy milk district. Citrus moved a little south but not that much ever since the big citrus freeze of the 60s. You however see a lot of innovation in that industry via the grocery store and citrus world on international drive. It’s also in the restaurant business as Orlando is becoming a foodie paradise. What, I might be young but I know my central Florida history well.
I know about the back to back freezes of 1894-95 and the two in 1983 and 1989 spelled the end of citrus crops in the central FL area. The 1960’s doesn’t ring any bells!
I really miss the smell of the Orange Blossoms every spring!
Florida hasn’t changed but the American people sure have! The innocence of those times is sorely missed.
@@saturn722 try fox 13 the citrus freeze of 1962. It’s archived. It was oddly forgotten for some reason
Crazy to see Orlando now.
1:00 is 811 Lake Adair Blvd
McCoy Air Force base became Orlando international airport while Orlando military base became the college park neighborhood. Unfortunately college park still digs up the occasional piece of forgotten military equipment which has to be turned over to the police for proper disposal or exploding.
We should have made a film telling them not to come!
love the music love Florida
At 6:30 that motel was on Hwy 50, with the same curtains there still! You could tell they were rundown and needed to be replaced. Wow, same curtains! Been there forever! Last time I went by it was still there. Great video of the old Orlando, I miss that!
What road is it on?
@@opal92nwf 50 and 436 near the old McNamara Pontiac dealership and wendys.
50 and 441
Oh my goodness, what the hell happened to this beautiful place, it looked like a paradise.....
Before the spaceport, it was mostly orange groves... During the making of this video, Mickey was quietly buying up land.. Now, it's just over bloated and miserable to visit.. We ruined it..
Just driving thru I-4 is a major nightmare.
18:05 Yes Orlando is STILL building :( Traffic is a nightmare and the mammoth apartment complexes springing up everywhere are a huge contributor.
I left when I turned 21 in 1994. I don’t miss it. It’s a horrible culture that you don’t see exactly how terrible until you leave.
@winderwonder Very true! I'm still in florida but moved away from all the rudeness that took over Orlando.
This is more of a travelogue than a newsreel, although it' has a lot more detail than most travelogues. Maybe a marketing film?
I hate driving there or any roads in Central Florida! Been here since 1950......wish I was younger I would move!!
Very cool your video. I wasn't there at that time, but nowadays, yes. And for me, it remains an incredible city.
50K Visitors annually! Now its 50 Million....:(
They blew up the new city hall for one of those lethal weapon movies.
Yeah lethal weapon 3 i was there when they did it
This is the early 60s
0:52 is 2 doors down 727 Lake Adair Blvd
I grew up in Orlando from 1959 till 1970. It indeed was a Magical & Great place to live. Today there's not enough money in the world to get me to live back there!! Thanks Disney for turning it into a shithole!!
Your absolutely correct. I really was hoping Disney would've folded during COVID-19, but the masses are still coming.
Great video:)
Thankyou
You keep taking control of my s.m. Wo
Pre-mouse!
Hey Daniel, do I have permission to use some of the audio of this clip to overlay in a video I am creating from a recent vacation to Orlando?
Cypress Gardens became Lego Land. Ugh!!
Isn't the hotel in 6:30 Pine Hills, today known as Crime Hills.
Old Soldier it's actually in Orlando on 50 close by 441 where McNamara Pontiac used to be located. Pine Hills started right at where the fairgrounds are now, right next to where the Kanes Furniture store was located.
Yup. The motel is at the corner of Colonial and Westmorland Dr.@@bedazzled64
LoL dang...
4th generation Orlandoans here…
It was beautiful before Disney.
That ruined all of Florida :(
🔴RLAN🔴 AND 95 WLOF 70 NOW MISS IN DALLAS TEX STILL HOT♥🏈🎫 BUCKS NOW COWBOYS CHANNEL⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
PRE DISNEY LAND NOW TOO BIG
3:14
make America great again! This is what that means! I wish time machines were real!
I think I figured out how Orlando got its name. It became a main citrus hub, it was the LAND of ORANGES ! so then they shortened it .. (OR-LAND-o)
So sad to see what it has become. Very trashy....
Whateve other than casy anthony we are awesome.
The sad thing is racism was so high!! :(
Richard,, Let history be history or the future never comes.. Just look to slavery in the bible, that too is gone.
My parents were a mixed race couple in the region in the 70s & 80s. They didn’t experience as much racism as you’d think. He did passed away after slightly under 10 years of marriage, so their time together was too short.
And then came Buddy Dyer
Florida was great before Disney ruined it
That is the truth.
