As kid who grew up in Old Town in the 70s I would love some more vintage Lewisville videos like this! I remember Mr. Nations and lots of cold drinks at Beasley's.

Tommy Nations was a friendly guy. Quite the character.

3:02 Funny. All of that there shown on the eastern part of the highway is gone. The water tower is still there, but I mean, the rest, south of Main, is just nothing. I remember ether a Jiffy Lube, or maybe it even was a Just Brakes (not 100% on the company) there in the mid 90s, but after it was demolished, nothing. ...so... ..umm... ...progress?
