Chimney Implosion on 12th and other vintage films

Thanks for posting that link of the Broderick being built. I love seeing how bustling the streets were with cars, even in the 1920s. Grand Circus Park was also pretty packed with people. I wonder if the footage was taken at lunch time, given the number of people on the streets.

There were a lot of people on the streets simply because Detroit was booming in the '20s. The area would boom again postwar, but this was during Detroit's first huge growth period.
