My parents moved to Austin in 1951. Their first house (rented) is still there. It's the white house at the corner of 6th and Mopac. I asked my Mom why they moved from there and she said, "It was so far out - it took too long to get into town".

My grandma was 10 years old at this time. She’s still well and kicking 💪🏽

Up through the late 70s it was a piece of heaven. Too bad gone forever.

@No LB I wasn’t brown, it was full of the red man. Native Americans.

Just want to share this was the year that my mom was conceived in San Antonio and my grandfather and my grandmother were here dude that he was stationed. 1981 My mom and her husband moved to Texas. Followed by several different family members over the years I am now expecting my third grandchild in April wow who knew we all be here in Texas 2022🎉

I live in a classic central Austin bungalow. It would have been brand new at the time this was filmed! Too cool.

Aw, the guy on the video from '43 spoke just like my grandpa

One thing I noticed is that, throughout most of history during the 1900s, Texas seemed to have been completely unnoticed by the entire US. Most movies and videos you’ll see took place in New York or Los Angeles. Nowadays, modern politics seemed to have put Texas under the spot light with the growing numbers of Californians moving here.

One exception- James Dean's 'Giant' was filmed in Marfa in 1956.

Wonderful years... 💘

Barton Springs was segregated until 1960. It was not open to all in 1943.

@@Bembieemusic Housing prices are going up because ~70% of the city is zoned for single family houses only. Not to mention the other zoning restrictions on mixed use, height and density. Overturn these terrible zoning rules and the city becomes affordable again and traffic will get better as a side effect of the increased walkability.
