Across the border in the 1960s-70s was still known as Sleepy Mexico. They didn’t like hippies but the worst they did was jail us for one night, cut our hair and feed us homemade Mexican food. It was mostly in good fun and we left with stories to tell
Are you referring to 0:48 ? That wasn't a trolley it was a city bus. The POV is looking south on Mesa at Mills. The bus seen is headed towards the Placita (San Jacinto), this was the time most city buses disembarked and boarded passengers at the San Jacinto Plaza.
I was wondering that as well. I'm trying to think which schools could have been around back then. At first I thought it was Wiggs Middle but then I realized that they were more towards the northwest of downtown.
Wow! The downtown foot traffic was crazy busy back then.
It was in every city. The automobile killed it

I was born in El paso 1959 William Beaumont army hospital.
I was born in 1953, nice to see video of that time.

I think it’s Mesita elementary.
