0:14 The VW Bug didn't use his signals. This really is Phoenix.
Thats VolksWagen hippie is from California lol
@@Chapaveli5959 Back when Californians were all starting to move to Arizona. Nice.
@mcshizzl2666 Arizona plates were copper or red in the 80's and not required on the front of the car. California License plates were white and required on the front. That bug is some dirt bag from California
That's it, 42 seconds of Phoenix, AZ?! Come on man! Thanks for the vid! Peace!
🤣🤣🤣 I wish it were longer too lol
Thats what i said 😂
Phoenix is pretty vapid as it is I'm not surprised about lack of points of interest in mind
RUclips Teezy T Phoenix. Song says it all now days.
Man wish u had more footage. Looked like the mid-late 70's.
Thank you for the video. I always want to see what Phoenix, Arizona, look like in the 1980s. I remember Metro Mall in the mid-late 80s, I was born in 1982.
RUclips Teezy T Phoenix. Song says it all.
I was born and raised in phoenix (born in nov 1982). I used to always go to metro mall. It was the place to be in the 80’s and 90’s. Remember the ice skating rink? My mom worked at the Black Angus right across from metro mall for years.
I remember those Welcome To Phoenix signs. Back then there were also signs on the other side of the road letting you know you were leaving Phoenix that said “adios amigos!”
I remember that going back and forth from Yuma.
The memories, that was the real charm of Phoenix ❤
Lived in Youngtown then Glendale from 81 to 87. Much love for Arizona.
RUclips Teezy T Phoenix. Songs the real deal
I use to eat at Sambos resturant a lot when I lived there in 1976. I was broke working for AZ Paperbox Company making a whole $2.00 an hour. The Sambos on Central Avenue you could get a bowl of Chilli a hqmburger and a Coke for $2.39. Oh the good life.
WOW! You were rich, I worked for the State Library (1975) and I ate the 99 cent special at Jack-in-the-Box, a small burger, small fries, and a small drink. It was cheaper than brown-bagging it.
@@AZHITW good times
Can you even say Sambos these days?
Yes, I remember Sambo’s, bobs big boys on 19th and Bethany home Road, alpine Village on seventh Avenue north of camelback, the original, Meg’s ham bun, in old town Scottsdale, don’t forget Mr. Luckys, the big sky Drive in
@@patrick7639 Good times. I don't even think you can Sambos anymore without getting shot
@@mistervacation23 right
Much different now from what i heard than the last time i was in Arizona back in 1979. Use to drive with my Family from Niagara Falls to see my Relatives living in Phoenix for Spring Vacation almost every year from 1961 to 1979 stayed there for 3 weeks.
Bill Presley. any relation?
Crazy how that building at the end is still there lol I remember eating there at 13 back in 2013… yea I’m a youngin…
Where is the rest of the video?
"Dry and sunny, coupled with low humidity", aren't those the same things? :)
Wait till monsoon hits. Phx sees many days where it's dry and sunny with high humidity the day after a rain storm.
Damn didn’t know that hyatt was around for that long
Super cool thx for the upload :)
Where is the rest of it? Would really like to see the whole video.
I remember when Thomas and Camelback was the outskirts of Phoenix. Damn not anymore...It's like the barrio.
It hasn't changed that much, but at the same time it's changed so much. The skyline looks pretty much the same except there are less tall buildings. The bendy road to the skyline looks pretty much the same, too. Palm trees everywhere. Yep, this is Phoenix.
Subscribed! I lived in paradise valley when I was a kid.
Thank you for bringing back some vivid memories!
Can I use this for a documentary?
The air is just as polluted today! Glad to see some things don't change.
Lol actually it was worse back then besides we Phoenicians cant see it
They copper industry started closing down copper smelters in the late 70s, I think the two main smelters contributing to the pollution in Phoenix were I.C.C.Co. in Miami, AZ, and Magma Copper in Superior, AZ.
No it isn’t🙄
I WANNA LADMO BAG!!!
Did that sign say 700,000 as the population? I only wish that was the population now. My God we now have about 8 million here.
Enterprising Captian 4,573,351
About 774,000 back in 1980. Also back then, it wasn't a huge megalopolis; you drove from Scottsdale to Tempe. You drove from Chandler to Mesa. You drove from Glendale to Peoria. Gilbert was still considered a rural area. Apache Junction and Buckeye were considered "the other side of the world" from Phoenix.
Enterprising Captian. new york city has over 8 million in that small area
Maricopa county population... 4.485 million (2019)
Arizona has never been the same since Tito Montez stopped wrestling.
This Vw Bug did not used the Turn Signals at all while changing Lanes
wow the old days?!
"Dry and sunny" but the digitally altered it so it appears cloudy.
back when downtown wasn't overrun with homeless
RUclips Teezy T Phoenix. Real music
Incomplete! Why didn't you share more of this video?
Happy Birthday AZ
Were the Dance sculptures moved after this?
Was that Lincoln dr?
old comment, but yes! looks very odd without all the trees.
Why does the sky look so brown?
Despite the Phoenix area being home to about 5 million people today, the smog was way worse there back in the 80's, when the area was home to around 1.5 million. It was primarily due to the cars on the road back then. Those things emitted exhaustion and fumes like no other.
@@brianb.8295 Its much better today
A lot of dust and leaded fuel. Plus it looks like a dust storm is cooking up.
0:29 "High on the list of its attractions is..." LOL
John Browning. good pic
is it the old cameras that make old videos look super palluted and orange and hot? or is that what it looked like in reality?
It's the cam but seeing as we're in a desert. The most in colors you will see in this city is Brown. Everything is fucking either brown or tan
ok, cool because i was wondring why it looked like that, you see it in alot of old movie too
Digitally altered to make you think chemtrails are normal. Watch the film " The Dimming".
well that bit
What year??? Wow
RUclips Teezy T Phoenix. Real Phoenix music
Damn kinds smoggy then
More like Los Angeles Arizona
“From the sands of the desert…” more like from the caliche of the desert
Sands?
_Why tf the narrator sound like Ben Shapiro_
My home state! Proud to be an AZ native
Your home state, green and lush and alive back in the day now looks and is complete shit. Why be proud of something that turned to garbage? I'm a arizona native too but fuck, there comes a point when you have to realize wow, the place I love is horrible. phoenix is not a place to be proud of. Hell, in 25 so years when there's no more water phoenix is going to be a joke of the past.. use your noggin bud cause nobody else here does
@@shelbygarcia3121 you’re a joke, dude. Lol
@@runninrebel1520as another proud Arizona native, I agree with you
