Why are you showing the Philippines?

Make the video longer. Repeat things 5 or 6 times instead of just 3 or 4. How many times did you need to say the city hall was demolished in 1938?

Who did the narration? Certainly had our Fort Worth accent. And a question; did Weatherford street in front of the Tarrant county courthouse run to the West on across the trinity river and on to weatherford about 28 miles to the west?

Would really help if you showed an overview on a map too. Cut out the Philippines.

Very interesting photos - but could have done without annoying CG narration that sounded like (ugh) Mike Wallace. Mute button made it OK

What in the world did the Philippines have to do with early Fort Worth???

Court house looks about the same in 2024.

Way to show the same pictures over and over. The AI narration doesn't time out with the pictures. Then, the last three minutes and with no explanation, you just start showing old photos from the Phillipines????? Why?
