Near the beginning, heading down Blackfoot Trail, one can see a number of tractor-trailers parked side-by-side. That is just north of Heritage Drive, a little south of today's Calgary Farmers' Market. Then the car turns and heads west on Heritage, showing the old Esso and Texaco service stations at Fairmount Drive, and the apartment building just west of there. Then there's a few scenes on Heritage Drive between Macleod Trail and Elbow Drive. After that, the car has arrived at Heritage Park.

Certainly an interesting observation. But it is better to draw conclusions from stats. My shot selection would vary depending on the nature of the scene. On cold days, the obese would be inside watching TV.

This is memory lane for my life in DT, going to the Dreamland on Saturdays, YMCA for swim and fitness. I think your filming is perfect as if the movement is a slice in time. A friend was caught staring in the Coffee Cup Cafe and ended up with a fork in his hand. There is a kid wearing my old winter coat or one like it in a scene. I had to double take that shot as I thought it was me. Much appreciated!

I lived in the neighborhood of Westgate and the hill was in use until 1978 when a friend of mine was tubing like in this video but at night from what I was told he hit a tree headfirst. After that the city brought in hay at the bottom of the hill to prevent anyone going onto the train tracks at the bottom but kids still had accidents, so the city just planted trees on the hill to prevent any more accidents

I think what happened was those who were disabled for life started using lawyers, so they could get a lifetime of help for their lifetime disability. Also, the emergency room doctors probably started keeping track of the damage that was done on these hills. When people are outdoors on a beautiful day, they find it hard to see the consequences of risk taking.

I do hope that someday someone decides to preserve the original films. The Alberta Archives in Edmonton has the potential. I talked to one person there around 2005 and when I described my Super 8 film "Edmonton 1969," I failed to impress her. Now, I am happy to see that so far it has gotten 32K views.

In most ways life was “better”…… less political corruption, less dept and inflation, stronger purchasing power power, less toxin build up in the environment however during the 70’s 80’s and 90’s our government was hiring and funding universities and hospitals to work on MK Ultra in partnership with CIA which developed horrific methods of mind control which are widely utilized today
