Salt Lake City Once Upon A Time, 1995

 Item — cassette: 16

Scope and Contents

A KUED7 video. "Once upon a time, there were no malls in Salt Lake City. Parking was abundant, and anything past 2700 South was considered "out in the sticks". It was the early 1940s, and like most of America, muck of daily life revolved around the war effort. Streetcars bustled people downtown to shop at large, elegant department stores like Auerbach's. The city was brimming with dance halls and grand movie houses. Everyone took the train to Saltair and Lagoon. It was a time when men wore hats, cars had running boards, and everyone dressed up to go downtown. KUED takes you on a nostalgic journey to those days with this delightful video scrapbook featuring hundreds of photos, archival footage, and interviews with the people who fondly remember Salt Lake City "once upon a time.""
