I've seen this video. It is great! I've lived here since 1974. I think Phoenix had so much more charm in the earlier days. The entire town was more resorty like. It was clean, open, quiet and had more charm.
It's hard for me to see how all or most of what I remember is gone. I loved Phoenix in the good old days. I miss the charm of the place! Thank you for posting this. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
