love to think back bro thx again for saving this shit

Fayetteville was a good town back than, until the radical left took over the town and turn it to little San Francisco

As a Fayetteville native, I love this video. Thank you. Sincerely.

1:20 is currently College and MLK's intersection. holy shit

What a cool video I'm glad I came across it

I just graduated from the UofA, if your father did as well I've probably walked over his name on the sidewalk many times :) and rest assured that memorial hall has not been renovated since this video was filmed. Seriously, the women's bathroom is still labeled "powder room" and has big pink plastic chairs in it lol

LMAO 😂 yeah you do sound dumb as hell.

My hometown. I miss that place even though I live here now. I miss that Fayetteville. <3

This was filmed around the area where I used to live and also the cross seen in this movie looks dirtier than how it is now

I was 13, a 7th grader at Woodland JHS. We lived at 845 N. Gregg Av. Good times.

I'm a young Arkansan (22) and this little piece of history made my evening. Crazy to see how much things have changed.

Thanks for the memories. I was a freshman at the University that year.

Damn. This was before when Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville, and all other towns in between were separate of each other. Now it seems like it’s all just one city.

very cool!!

I was born here and have lived here for my whole life. But I'm still a kid so that's not too long

As a new resident of Fayetteville ( 5 yrs Sept 2018), I appreciate seeing the way Fayetteville looked...my new home...thx fo posting.

Terry, may we include this with some informational video about N. College/71B for the City of Fayetteville?

This video is SO interesting to me. I grew up on S. Washington St. down there in south Fayetteville and a lot of what you caught on film are all places I remember so well from my childhood. I was born in June of 1967 and lived in that area of Fayetteville from 1969 to 1980. I am 50 years old now and I love seeing old films and photos of Fayetteville where I grew up. I don't know exactly what month and year this film of yours was shot, but it looks to be at least a couple of years before my time. However, much of what I see in the film was still there when I was a child. The intersection of MLK (6th St.) and School St. is so different from when I was a child just a few years later after this film that I barely recognize it. Dillon's Grocery Store was on the SE corner, Otasco Store was on the NE corner of that intersection, a feed mill and old house was on the NW corner, and Vaughn Battery has been on the SW corner ever since I can remember and still is. In your film, there appears to be an old white house where Otasco Store would eventually sit and is now Walgreens. All of what you filmed is so incredibly interesting to me because of old memories and times gone by and being blessed to see things in this film that no longer exist in the area where I grew up. I remember riding my bike around this whole School St. area when I was a kid. I don't get down to south Fayetteville very often anymore, but when I do I am amazed at how much has changed there. I hardly recognize it now. I noticed the little building that used to be Hoot's Chicken Drivein there close to that intersection of MLK and School St. was there in this ifilm. It was very cool seeing that. Used to eat lots of chicken from there. Archibald Yell looked virtually the same except the Pizza Hut at the bottom where the first curve is and that Pizza Hut has been there since the early 70's. I actually think it is now some Chinese buffet place now. I loved that Pizza Hut. I enjoyed hearing you all talk about what is on the film as it ran. It made me feel like I could remember things in the film better because of your narration. I do appreciate you posting this video for those of us from Fayetteville to be able to see and remember. I miss the simple days of the 70's. Thank you for helping so many of us out here go down memory lane with you. Oh, and the old Corvair is Cool! 😃

Thanks for this. I was a 21 year old English major living on Gregg Street when this was filmed. In these final years of my life, I often recall those intense college years and the unique experience that was Fayetteville, with both joy and sadness.

thanks for the video. we moved to bentonville in 69. every summer wed drive thru springdale and fayetville going to se arkansas. good days

Hi

Thamk u for this video .

Your dad doesn't sound like he is from Arkansas to me. I am from Louisiana and don't know all the accents, but my cousin grew up in Little Rock. She sounds like more of a country girl than your dad. He seems like a nice guy, and your mom was very pretty, probably still is.

NWA has gone downhill so much since then, i guess it really rapidly going downhill in the early 2000s, i am disappointed

Awesome to see this video I cant wait till November when I visit.

you said Pizza Hut and confirmed what I thought I was looking at. Penguin Eds BBQ is down on the right @4:30. We take the first exit off 530 and go the back way when we go to the games. COOL VID !

Awesome Video!!! Soooo glad your father thought to do this!! Thank You Uploaded!!! CHEERS!

Amazing. The house at the end was on the same block that I live on now, in one of the few non-UA residential houses/complexes that are still standing in that area. It's amazing to see it back then as a quiet residential street compared to how it's in the middle of campus now with campus buildings and the monolithic parking garage that tower around.

Fayetteville has changed a lot with I-49 plowing through the city. And through her twin cities too. I call that area the Quadruplet City because of Springdale, Rogers, & Bentonville. Rogers has grown quite a bit it has Skyscrapers. now and a 7 story hospital. I live in a small town west of Fayetteville btw.

There's a paid ad for this record in one of the 1987 issues of National Lampoon and from the hyperbole in the advertisement, it would appear the makers were hoping it was going to be the next national dance craze. They implored people to buy the original record before everyone else was doing the "Dynosaur Dance".

Thanks for the memories.

The farm you mentioned in this film was on West Double Springs Road, I rented one end of that house around 1975. Not sure if it's still there or not--it was in the Wedington Fire District.

Cool. Near Cockrill road and Sunrise mountain. I married a cockrill and they still live near there.

Very enjoyable--we moved here in 1967.

1960s vloging lol

Wow this is amazing! I live right next to drake field!

Awesome Video. This is what Fayetteville looked like when my mom and dad moved us back up. Thank you for posting!

My father tells me that it was Ralph Estes farm. I can't seem to find much info about a Ralph Estes in the Fayetteville area online. I'll likely have to dig around at the library unless this sounds familiar to anyone here.

It looks a lot like it, but i drove out and took some pictures to compare. There are some differences that lead me to believe it's not the same barn. Also, the terrain around it is different from the video. The hills and mountains are pretty close to the barn in the video, but the barn on Rupple is surrounded by plenty of flatland. Thank you for the suggestion, though. If you or anyone else have more, I'd appreciate it.

I think that's the barn off Wedington just a block or two north on Rupple to the left.

my father has never been able to find it again. It is somewhere off Wedington on a road going north (or used to be). In the 60s the place was about 10 miles outside of town. however, the town has grown so much I'm not sure how far out that was. It's quite possible that a lot of those old roads are gone now. My father hadn't heard of the town Wheeler, so it's likely closer than that.

I'm glad you enjoyed the film and if you haven't watched my other upload of this film, please do. It's much clearer. I added the link to it in the video description

Didn't see any hippies throwing a frisbee on the commons. And, yes, that would've been me ...

Haha, I love this so much. Definitely going on my favorite list. :)

You Dad sounds a little like John Wayne, I like it! Nice video!! Its nice that someone like him was thinking ahead that in the future we might want to look back on our nice little city of Fayetteville.

good history, nice to hear it from a local.

Thanks for the upload. I live not far from Drake Field. Fayetteville has changed so much since I moved here in 1991.

this video is incredible! thank you for uploading it!

wow i wasnt alive then but im glad someone got a video of it then to see ho much has changed since then

I uploaded a new version of this film. I re-filmed the original film. It's much cleaner and clearer. If you enjoyed watching this for the old images, then you should appreciate the new version. It doesn't have my father's commentary.
