Whoever the unknown person is who shot this film, they deserve our gratitude for such a perfect time capsule. And the quality of the video is excellent. Great snapshot of a place and time.

Japanese Gardens is in Sweeney Park. It became Jaenecke Gardens during WWII. My spelling could be wrong.

Cool Video you found JR. Except you should of found the restaurant that you hung out at when you where 8 years old. Its also cool to see all of the Gangsta Cars roaming the streets of the Fort back in the day. I can Imagine my Grandpa and his Brothers Running shine from the old Farm up to the Lakes.

Amazing they tore down so many of those old buildings in the 70s and replaced them with some of the ugliest buildings ever conceived, along with acres of parking lots.

I think they would only have them out during the summer I’m assuming .. palm trees need a constant 60° or up to stay alive so I’m assuming they died off in the winter ! Would be cool to have palm trees in Fort Wayne though !
