I just graduated from the UofA, if your father did as well I've probably walked over his name on the sidewalk many times :) and rest assured that memorial hall has not been renovated since this video was filmed. Seriously, the women's bathroom is still labeled "powder room" and has big pink plastic chairs in it lol

This video is SO interesting to me. I grew up on S. Washington St. down there in south Fayetteville and a lot of what you caught on film are all places I remember so well from my childhood. I was born in June of 1967 and lived in that area of Fayetteville from 1969 to 1980. I am 50 years old now and I love seeing old films and photos of Fayetteville where I grew up. I don't know exactly what month and year this film of yours was shot, but it looks to be at least a couple of years before my time. However, much of what I see in the film was still there when I was a child. The intersection of MLK (6th St.) and School St. is so different from when I was a child just a few years later after this film that I barely recognize it. Dillon's Grocery Store was on the SE corner, Otasco Store was on the NE corner of that intersection, a feed mill and old house was on the NW corner, and Vaughn Battery has been on the SW corner ever since I can remember and still is. In your film, there appears to be an old white house where Otasco Store would eventually sit and is now Walgreens. All of what you filmed is so incredibly interesting to me because of old memories and times gone by and being blessed to see things in this film that no longer exist in the area where I grew up. I remember riding my bike around this whole School St. area when I was a kid. I don't get down to south Fayetteville very often anymore, but when I do I am amazed at how much has changed there. I hardly recognize it now. I noticed the little building that used to be Hoot's Chicken Drivein there close to that intersection of MLK and School St. was there in this ifilm. It was very cool seeing that. Used to eat lots of chicken from there. Archibald Yell looked virtually the same except the Pizza Hut at the bottom where the first curve is and that Pizza Hut has been there since the early 70's. I actually think it is now some Chinese buffet place now. I loved that Pizza Hut. I enjoyed hearing you all talk about what is on the film as it ran. It made me feel like I could remember things in the film better because of your narration. I do appreciate you posting this video for those of us from Fayetteville to be able to see and remember. I miss the simple days of the 70's. Thank you for helping so many of us out here go down memory lane with you. Oh, and the old Corvair is Cool! 😃

Amazing. The house at the end was on the same block that I live on now, in one of the few non-UA residential houses/complexes that are still standing in that area. It's amazing to see it back then as a quiet residential street compared to how it's in the middle of campus now with campus buildings and the monolithic parking garage that tower around.

Fayetteville has changed a lot with I-49 plowing through the city. And through her twin cities too. I call that area the Quadruplet City because of Springdale, Rogers, & Bentonville. Rogers has grown quite a bit it has Skyscrapers. now and a 7 story hospital. I live in a small town west of Fayetteville btw.

There's a paid ad for this record in one of the 1987 issues of National Lampoon and from the hyperbole in the advertisement, it would appear the makers were hoping it was going to be the next national dance craze. They implored people to buy the original record before everyone else was doing the "Dynosaur Dance".

It looks a lot like it, but i drove out and took some pictures to compare. There are some differences that lead me to believe it's not the same barn. Also, the terrain around it is different from the video. The hills and mountains are pretty close to the barn in the video, but the barn on Rupple is surrounded by plenty of flatland. Thank you for the suggestion, though. If you or anyone else have more, I'd appreciate it.

my father has never been able to find it again. It is somewhere off Wedington on a road going north (or used to be). In the 60s the place was about 10 miles outside of town. however, the town has grown so much I'm not sure how far out that was. It's quite possible that a lot of those old roads are gone now. My father hadn't heard of the town Wheeler, so it's likely closer than that.
