- I found this cassette in my stuff while moving. No idea where I got it, but I put a little 80s slideshow with it for goofs. Thanks to Dave DeCaro for some of the nicer photos. davelandweb.com

Garcia’s, White Rabbit, Space Port, the Den, Dagwood’s, Ladyman’s...
Who remembers Space Port? Ohhhh the 80's
I do! I remember it had a music video machine...I would watch b-52s and U2 videos...50cents a pop.
+Rigo Rodas Oh man, I could've paid my student loans off a few years earlier if that place wasn't there.
I remember it too. I believe there had been J.C. Penney's store there before the building was turned into Space Port. Next to Space Port I saw the Book Nook bookstore.
I'm not sure, so don't quote me, but the Block's College Shop was on that corner when I was a young teen. Then when I was in college it was Spaceport(my college days were '81-85). I too spent a lot of hours in Spaceport, mostly playing Frogger, and another game I can't remember. My friends and I went to Garcia's Pizza afterward, and frankly, it was the greatest. I loved Bloomington then, and I live there now, since the late 1990's. I still love it, but man o' man, it has changed a lot.
That's where I mastered Tron between math and psych.
ahh, the roach motel.... i went to several parties there!
I forgot about that place!
Yep, me too! 😄
Oh my gosh, things are soooooooo much better now........and I was born here and saw all of this......and before this....
Loved seeing this! Thanks for posting it. Ah, the 1980s! I spent a lot of time in Bloomington.
My family lived in Whitehall in the early 1970s. Then, we moved to Los Angeles.
When we moved back we were south of Bloomington by an hour.
I used to play music at college parties there in the 80s. (That's all I'll say about that.) LOL!
Great video!
I grew up there and have lived in L.A. for 20 years. I am wanting to come back there, part-time. Getting old and miss the size and slower pace.
@@ladesigner8764 I hope you get to make that happen. No better time than now.
I live in Whitehall now. I’m not sue it’s changed much since you’ve lived here in the 70s. Its definitely a slower pace. I also played music at college parties along with some of the Bloomington bars in the mid 80s. Great memories!
Very cool. Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing
nice music choice where you ran out of 80's photos. reminds me of when local hero dave stohler was racing against team cinzano.
Saw a couple former employers of mine in the video, LOL
That's so funny our little 5 team is in this!
… and Mellencamp was cruising around town as well. They missed the music opportunity. Bill Wilson lived in Bloomington at the time as did Carrie Newcomer
Ah, the voice (and audio production) of Richard Fish.
SPACEPORT!

John Gatch, Graham Fisk, Wes Harris, David Webb, John White, Craig Seward.
I may have inadvertently misspelled some names.
I enjoyed seeing the photos from the past. The song extols "...the people downtown" and just this morning I saw people sleeping on the concrete under the canopy of the public library and now it's an everyday sight to see people holding signs about needing money. If I walk along Kirkwood I have to look ahead so I can avoid panhandlers. (I don't give money directly to those on the street but I do support organizations that provide assistance)
oh wow.
This audio sounds like something Negativland would love to take snippets from.
4:03 Blood Farmers!
How about the movie, Breaking Away?
OMG that jingle!! hee hee
Richard Fish has a way with narration...
+6motion6 Yes, Rich is a great talent to the audio world.
this is awesome! I lived in bloomington for awhile I was in the Punk scene do you know who the punks are at 3:57? One of them looks like a guy that played in Panoply Academy
an alt rock band called "Blood Farmer." Not to be confused with the New York metal band of the same name.
1:50 Madonna and Pat Benatar?? wtf?
