Reportedly it was called "the Dakota" because it was built so far out of town (!!) There's an 1850s-era concert hall in the city where I worked years ago. I read that when it opened people complained bitterly that it was so far from the center of town. Now it IS in the center.

The photo appearing at 5:22 was not taken when the caption states; this was taken within the last 10-15 years of the Tennessee Valley Railroad's Engine 4501 on an excursion southward from Chattanooga, Tennessee. You want proof? Behind the bell and ahead of the smokestack is the mixing chamber for the feedwater heater, which was installed by TVRM within the last 10-15 years.

The alcohol Barrel Tower looks more like the 4th of July Bonfires that we had up on the north shore of Boston in Salem, Ma. In the 40’s-50’s-60’s. They were built by volunteers, made of barrels that were donated by the local leather tanneries. Having held lambskins from New Zealand, they were saturated with “sheep grease” (aka lanolin) and burned like candles. We’d sit on the park lawn on a blanket until after midnight enjoying the scene.

That UK television detection car was a dummy, there was no technology in it. It was just to pretend they could receive the telltale radiation from a cathode tube TV set. They couldn't of course, even if the BBC swore blind they could, but some people got frightened into applying for a TV licence anyway. Over the years different looking equipment was introduced with a huge complicated antenna that could be aimed in any direction on top of a van. But it was still all just a sham and still is even today. In fact modern TVs don't emit any kind of telltale radiation.

people complain today about the cost of living, but back then people were selling shoelaces on the street to survive. says a lot about the scroungers of today (not the genuine people who really need and deserve help ). life was so hard then, just to survive, no luxuries.

Isn’t it strange over the last hundred years how far we’ve come it’s mind blowing considering how long we have been here
