Here's what downtown Salt Lake City used to look like

[@therealdarrenlwilliams2183]

I still miss Crossroads Mall- such a fun place to go hang out and the people-energy was tremendous

[@ultraviolettas]

It’s silly but it’s amazing to see those mountains still right there in the old footage, exactly how they are right now

The 1971 look up State Street with Der Weinerschnitzel to the left brings back memories. Thanks, Craig.

[@EricDavey]

Craig Wirth is a true local gem!

[@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy]

that's so cool. as an 18 year old, man you don't know how bad I wish I lived in the 60s.

[@davelarsen9847]

I remember so well the Crossroads Mall and ZCMI center. Fernwood and Snelgroves ice cream shops. I haven't been to Salt Lake in many years and I wonder in the Beck apartments are still there along with the Hansen planitarium. I remember Grand Central and Sears too.

Buzz words in the Beehive State, That was good! Thank you. I enjoyed that.

It seems SLC was really punching above its weight back in the early 1900s. I'm not sure there were many other big cities in the west between Missouri and California.

My grandma would always say people always dressed up when they went out, Sunday best was every day

I loved the crossroads mall as teeb that was the mall we went to besides valley Fair Mall they were good malls before they turned unto stores that scammed customers and too expensive

The guy on the left hand side of the reporter as he is walking downtown, this guy looks like a person from the 1920s... look at 1:52

[@rayne6737]

Hat does but the clothes just don’t fit right and the cell phone blows it out of the water.

[@Perich29]

[@TheIronweed-vx5lg]

Wow! After 50+ years State street still looks like a dump! 3:04

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

[@rayne6737]

Downtown is now snobtown.

[@AussieBodybuilder]

Beautiful place before diversity showed up

[@ultraviolettas]

I enjoyed Harmons KFC.

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

The car boom 4 the baby boomers doomed downtown.🤔
