    Check out the powder blue roadster (MG?) at about 4:08 in the video.

    The guy with the Hula-Hoop at the end of the video was pretty funny, I think he must have been spending time in that bar behind him there on the corner. I saw street signs for 12th and Robert St. at one point, that part of town is totally different today.

    I stay with a friend in Bloomington and take surface streets to the fairgrounds during Back to the Fifties. Pretty sure I saw a couple of buildings along my route.
    I wish that was filmed with a camera as good as the California videos you have linked before. I believe I would have enjoyed St. Paul in those days, unlike now, where I pretty much despise it.
