I was born the year Sun City was opened. However, 60 years later, I am so thankful I found Del Webb's promise of an active lifestyle. The things that have changed are the grass yards in the single family homes, traffic, wardrobes and thankfully the women's day out going to the beauty salon! Making life long friends, enjoying the beautiful weather and having many activities to choose from are the constants during these last 60 years.

Being a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 I was constantly inserting comments that the robots would be making into the scenes in both parts of this presentation, what a hoot. Watching this does send me back to my childhood growing up in Santa Ana, California and the seemingly simpler times of that era, but in a lot of instances they weren’t that simple but as a preteen and teenager you just weren’t award of life’s difficulties at that age. I’m 69 now and my wife and I fled North Hollywood, California and the zombie apocalypse for Prescott, Arizona where my folks lived for many years after my Dad’s retirement and are enjoying the beautiful mountain life here and our views of Thumb Butte just a mile away to the west.

My Grandmother and Grandfather moved to Sun City in 1977 from Chicago ILL.

"Ben... why are we driving down the middle of the road?"

Looks remarkably similar to the Air Force base in the town where I grew up during the 1960s, right down to the Wherry and Capehart housing and the bleak golf course.

It's a Corvair by the way, not a Falcon. :-)

Tg&y, and the Harvey house.

Love the old footage,I want to go back in time....life was simple 😌 The couple in the backyard on the golf course all seems nice until they get hit in the head with a golf ⛳ ball....

That’s exactly what I was thinking, and being a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 I had the guy in the golf cart slumped over backwards having had a middle heart attack. 😉

@ 13:05 move that Falcon to the right, your riding the white line

How corny.
