This minidoc was beautiful. The narrator gave me secondhand nostalgia. That is how good a job was done.
My home for 45 years, this is a gem, thank you.
I'm 64, in Plymouth, Ma. Not so different. ❤ Sept. is my birth month and it still comes too soon!
I recall some of this as a little girl from Beverly, Massachusetts. The seafood is the best!!

Thanks Bob, great story really enjoyed it.
18:08 That’s my Great Grandfather Lawrence Ciulla the last man carrying the statue. That was cool.
Awesome!
Beautiful
at around 2:30 we see main street with a sign that reads Barker's. in the 60's this spot would have been occupied by Rexall Drug and the Tic Toc restaurant. the front area of Rexall's was called The Waiting Station.

I was in the crowd scene of that episode of Route 66
The credits indicate it was fixed in 1946 but that sure looks like a 1949 Ford. either way the story is told very well.
