Q95 on the radio....Def Leppard Love Bites being played...Man!! Takes me back to being young. Many memories.

The old compass on the dashboard, really takes me back to when I first started driving. Back when you had to use paper maps, and look at the compass to know which direction you were heading. Wow, have times changed in 30+ years...

Man this brings back some memories Weidner Chevy was still open and Russ Reganal Pontiac aswell and the prime battery building was still there.and best of all I was still a youngster.Thanks for posting.

Tragic that it's blurry because of the windshield.

Wow that big boys brought back some memories of Anderson in hey days we moved out in 1972

There's a big difference between 1989 and present day 2019. There is at least 50 percent of the businesses that are gone, plus 30 percent - ish housing has disappeared. It truly is a shame. We can use all the jobs we can get.

Roger Martin I have lived in Anderson practically all my life. My family has lived in Anderson for many many years. From the stories they told me, Things started to decline after the GM factory closed and left. Now it just seems so desolate and empty. Some of the old stores are still lucky to even be open. Go to the lemon drop if you get a chance.

@@MrvuMrv Lemon Drop has been there a long time , since 1950s. Bill Pitts is the current owner and has carried on the tradition. Of course when G M left this town , a lot of mom /pop busnesses and people population left as well. It will never be the same industrial powerhouse as in the 1960s at it height. Hopefully this town will keep what industry it has recently obtained, and does grow more in the near future.

I moved to Anderson in 2014, it's cool what the town looked like back then! Thanks for the video!

You actually moved to Anderson in 2014? Why? I left Anderson the same year. It's gone down the toilet big time. I miss growing up there in the 60's & 70's though. Lot's of good memories as a kid.

WOW The Clark Gas Station on 3rd and Broadway was still there, I use to work there back in the early 70's

Based on the Jeff Healey concert date, this was July 22, 1989.

Perfect soundtrack!

Amazed how little has changed. Wow

Man this brings back memories..70s broad St., Anderson, IN looking for my 70 Chevelle SS 454

Downtown is as abandoned back then as it is now. Couple of car dealerships gone, with new ones on Satterfield

Weird question, and I hope it's not too personal, but did you teach at Highland? I remember a Mr. Hilderbrand, but I never had any classes with him. It was a beautiful school, and so sad to see it close after all those renovations. They weren't quite complete when I graduated in '08, though. Would love to walk those halls again just to indulge my nostalgia.

No relation, although I get asked that quite a bit. I believe the teacher's name is spelled slightly different.

I lived there two years in 89 and 1990 wow some good memories there I was a teenager loved to go to the mounds mall on weekends

I was born in Anderson of 1987. And my mom was born n raised til she moved.

The creator of this video is a LEGEND. Big props to him.

Can't believe my home town was exposed so badly...on national media so bad

oh Anderson, how it turned into a giant turd in the late 90s but hey Q95 is still Q95 lol

Wow... this is surreal. this was 8 days before my 7th birthday.

Anyone know Dan the meter man?
