Jeez, I was young and frequented Old Town then, this is sooo corny.

Never heard of the movie before; it was truly awful. It was like a train wreck, I just couldn’t stop watching. In 1965-66 I thought Old Town was the coolest hippy place in the whole world.

I was born there on weiland st. The next block over in 1966. Grew up there. A 1 of a kind place.

It was I remember 1969-71. It was filled with college kids and cool shops, like Wicker park today. This film hardly shows a fe establishment's. The evenings and weekends is when it really came alive.

My mother in law was the babe walking down the stairs in Old Town Chicago Scene at 5:30. We're going nuts over here. She used to model with Karen Black at the time and said she was pretty cool. Rad stuff.

What a delightful discovery! I always wonder when seeing these old films and photos of Chicago years ago if I might see a friend or relative or even myself. It's so neat you found your mother-in-law!

@@Misscollage better than looking at the human scat seen in films the last 30 years . this seems like a decent film so stop complaining.

Great movie I just watched the whole movie. My favorite was when the got those picture paintings and sat on the steps as they dried. Then the motorcycle picked up that chick at the end! It was epic!

That kid at the beginning who sold the newspaper is in his 60s today.

The one scene standing in front of the popcorn machine and the up down tobacco shop my mother was downstairs working at that time Lupe and we lived Wells on North avenue where Walgreens is at now.

Columbus,OH also had a similar, _single_ structure like that. Essentially the lower half of one of those buildings. Today's building architecture is devoid of such style.

Would love to see you post the entire movie in this pretty good quality. Would Love to see the old street scenes of Chicago!

I understand, but I edited this movies down to include the only Old Town scenes … that’s what I wanted as well. The rest of the movie is interiors and outside scenes from somewhere else entirely, like LA area

looks like a good film. youtube is not such junk now no surprise this whole movie is not posted online. beautiful film quality.

My mother LUPE at that time that year we lived on Wells and North avenue next to old Town Earl

Why not just post the entire movie? --The whole movie was posted by someone else on 3/14/22 but the picture quality is terrible and it's not in widescreen, like this is. This is widescreen and looks way better, but it's condensed to 9 min. Sure, it's a lousy movie, but so what? That's the fun of it. Post the whole movie anyway.

Does anyone remember a head shop store in Old Town in the late 60s who was owned by a 'Richard' and sold posters and had someone telling fortunes (astology) sitting at a table by the entrance? Very close to Piper's Alley. I'm writing about the era. Thanks!

Where to find the full movie I dig checking the old Chicago.

simple times good times classic days

Half the film was the intro itself .😔

Old TOwn is closed due to possible Gang activity this weekend....life and hoods move on and change.

Deficient cultures have ruined this city!

this film might have inspired the 1971 film the young graduates.

That perky blonde gal with her clean white gloves must not be one of the "runaways", looking like that. Must just be Dewey, the guy, who left his folks back home in the country someplace.

Absolutely horrible cliche-ridden junk. I imagine anyone involved with making this never admitted to it.

Worst thing I have ever seen. What a waste of time🤷🏻‍♂️
