Salt Lake City, Utah 1980

[@alibraika4335]

So awesome 👍! I love Lagoon, and Pioneer Village. Thank you for making this.

[@rickjones4363]

I was one of the stuntmen for the wild west shoot-out in 1980. It was a great summer job, paid for my college education.

must’ve been weird knowing about Gary Ridgeway now

Wish there was some footage of the great salt lake, imagine how massive it was in the 80s

[@DaddyDuckTown]

Incredible place, I lived in Salt Lake County for a year and you never get tired of the views or the city. I wish I could have been alive to see it in 1980 with the retro cars but I was born 20 years after and didn't even see Utah until 40 years after this video was filmed.

[@robpolaris7272]

I remember visiting SLC when I was a kid in the 80’s. We would eat at a place called Market Street Grill. The Salt Lake Temple is absolutely a must see. You always hear about Frank Lloyd Wright, but Truman O. Angelll designed the most amazing and beautiful structure in the US.

[@neo7759]

Market street grill is still here and going strong!! Ate there just last week 😊

[@robpolaris7272]

@@neo7759 Not many restaurants last that long. I remember liking the clam chowder.

Thanks for this video. I worked at Pioneer Village in 1988 and enjoyed it.

[@marymylonakis3811]

Awesome cars roaming the streets back then! ♥

[@spicymike7696]

I love those older cars wish I was around back then to see these beautiful cars just driving around

[@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767]

I can’t believe this shows 1980 which was actually the last time that I was at Lagoon and that it also shows the train depot where my grandmother was actually born in 1912 fantastic footage thank you so much for posting❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Memory records as it was and remains ever young - hence a shock when memory meets present reality. Film imagery can open the flood gates of memory - and when pleasant can rush the mind with feelings of nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinblanch]

GREAT VIDEO SO GLAD YOU POSTED IT;;;;

[@scratchpad7954]

This video really shows how much Salt Lake City has changed since this was filmed in 1980, especially when you look at modern aerial photography of Salt Lake City from the present day. The changes are just incredible; we have undergone quantum leaps and bounds of change in the last 36 years.

[@bobgrayson5599]

I grew up in holiday ut I remember going to a village built like this on 2300 east I believe this is it

[@HaleVideoServices]

Pioneer Village was originally located in Holiday but was moved to the LaGoon amusement Park in Farmington where it is in this film and still is today.

[@michaelflinn2791]

Who else remembers when they turned state street into a river in the 80's?

[@NuclearDeathWalk]

I filled sandbags. Then we hopped in our inner tubes and cruised

[@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767]

I remember 1983 that year like it was yesterday❤️🌈

[@brookebradford8009]

In Ft. Union (roughly 80th & 13th), I was laying sandbags to divert cottonwood creek away from Milne Lane when a piece of driftwood clipped me and broke my leg…

[@lindabriggs5118]

I remember the State Street River in 1983! I lived in Eastern Utah at the time, and the old town of Thistle was flooded out due to the mud/mountain slide that blocked the Spanish Fork Creek in Spanish Creek Canyon. At one point that year you couldn't drive west from Eastern Utah as every road was blocked by slides and we had to do our major shopping in Grand Junction, CO. I miss Utah. I live in the Southwestern Appalachian's now in North Carolina.

[@neo7759]

1983 and this year we have even more snow melting and are in danger of the same level of flooding.

[@ryanh3176]

I’ve lived here for 43 years.. I’ve done so many wonderful things and met so many wonderful people and NOT ONE of them had anything to do with the LDS church. I think as a state we need to move out of the shadow of the temple.

[@christianb8900]

That will never happen. No one is making you stay here.

​@@ryanh3176 Yes, it is typical how ex-communicated members can look for opportunities to bash the church, just from a watching a simple amateur film on some Utah history.

Wide Streets,,,, Narrow Minds!!!!!😊

[@NYKID10014]

Great footage, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately when Pioneer Village was moved to Lagoon from Connor Street, Millcreek, Utah it was never the same. They sold off half of all the artifacts, cars and buildings. Very sad.

[@mqbitsko25]

It was also promised that admission would be free forever. Needless to say that didn't last.

[@christianb8900]

@@mqbitsko25 Admission to Pioneer Village has always been free, and will always be free. (Admission to Lagoon itself is a different topic).

Great video. Where is The Hatch Collection housed? I'd love to see more of this.

[@HaleVideoServices]

The Hatch Collection is privately owned by the filmmaker Joseph L. Hatch himself. They contain a lifetime of A+ home movies of family, events, trips beginning in 1947. Some of these are on youtube and some are on vimeo under Hale Video.

[@kathrinebeeder9892]

It’s “Seagull Gate Monument” not Eagle Gate. It’s representing the miracle of the seagulls that showed up and devoured the crickets attacking the first crop of wheat.

[@HaleVideoServices]

You are mistaken, Eagle Gate marked the entrance to Brigham Young's estate. The monument you refer to is on Temple Square honoring the miracle of the gulls.

When I was in 4th grade we went to pioneer place in salt lake but it was cool

[@ToolFan68]

Utah is gorgeous but... "World famous golfing"? LOL! Oh yeah, everyone knows about the world famous Utah golf courses. Haha! So many Utahns believe so many myths. And ZCMI was hardly the "First dept store in America" as this dude says. (1825-1858) "Arnold Constable" was the first American department store. It was founded in 1825 as a small dry goods store on Pine Street in New York City. In 1858, Rowland Hussey Macy founded Macy's.

[@christianb8900]

Maybe what he said about ZCMI was considered the consensus fact back then? Open your mind instead of relying on tired old stereotypes of Utahn's being dumb and narrow minded.

[@joejacko1587]

to think people could afford to buy a house there back then

[@DaddyDuckTown]

Yeah, really sad what's happened to the descendants of the people that settled Utah. Their ancestors built one of the most beautiful cities in North America and they can't even afford to live there.

No not really I got married in October 1980 and Reagan’s inflation had interest rates at 19%

I lived up on Wasatch Blvd and 39th south in 1980, went to Skyline, Wasatch, and Upland Terrace as a kid. Why is he talking like that??.. its so disingenuous and phony..

[@HaleVideoServices]

Talking like what? The audio was recorded on an Elmo Super8mm sound recording projector on a tiny magnetic stripe on the film. Of course it is archaic sounding according to today's technology - I hope you can appreciate where we come from and how we got technically here.

[@craigslistrro709]

@@HaleVideoServices It has nothing to do with the quality, or technology, He is talking in melodramatics, its completely phony.

[@scratchpad7954]

I think I know exactly where that is. On the northeast corner of that intersection of Wasatch Boulevard and 3900 South is a collection of buildings that house a Wells Fargo bank branch and across the street is the Olympus Cove shopping center with a Sinclair gas station and on the northwest corner is a UTA Park & Ride lot as well as the freeway entrance onto the northbound lanes of I-215. I also went to Upland Terrace Elementary in grades 5 and 6 (Classes of 2007 and 2008). I think my home elementary was to be William Penn but I went to Meadow Moor (now Spring Lane) in grades 1-4 (Classes of 2003-2006) with my kindergarten year (Class of 2002) at Eastwood Elementary.
