Video duration: 121 seconds

Lloyd in his usual fine form. I fondly remember Lloyd as the zany weatherman at NYC's own WOR Ch9 during the 80s. He's a broadcast original in a sea of blandness and conformity. I'm told that members of the WOR viewing audience loved him or hated him, yeah I'm in the former.

Soviet Propaganda re. Nuke defense Soviet Propaganda re. Nuke defense
Posted by: PaulJD2006

Video duration: 48 seconds

Cold War film from USSR about defending the Motherland from the West. I'm guessing this is from the 50s when anti-missile missiles and anti-aircraft missiles might have offered some protection.

AstroLand commercial AstroLand commercial
Posted by: PaulJD2006

Video duration: 32 seconds

Astroland got a reprieve from destruction and is supposed to operate for one more Summer season in 2008. I was there in 2007 and it was jumpin, plenty of business. I believe major development plans for the boardwalk have no place for Astroland, sad. This spot for the amusement park in Coney Island is from around 1980.
