Tainan during 1971 - part 1

This footage shot by father-in-law Ted Staberow, who with wife Elayne came to visit Joyce and me, in June 1971. I was stationed in Tainan while with the USAF, and we lived at #2 Lane 181 Ta Tung Lu. The house behind the red gate was our home. Ted took his Super 8 movie camera and stood out on the street to shoot what he saw, which was traffic heading south towards Kaohsiung, and north up to Tainan city center and beyond. Sorry, there is no sound. He also was very attentive to any female passerbys. A good glimpse of this really excellent city back then, though I hear this stretch of Ta Tung Lu is gone, due to an intersection with a new north/south expressway. Back in 1971 this was the north south expressway.
