The Vancouver footage ends at around the one-minute mark with the barges in the harbor. Winnipeg, Manitoba is the next place. They must have taken the train across Canada. The Winnipeg scenes include the train station, streetcars, Roman-looking government building, and HBC building. After Winnipeg they show Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee. The big city with all the skyscrapers is Chicago. The Chicago scenes end with the fountain. Then they show Cleveland, beginning with the public square. The final city is Pittsburgh.
Also...correct me if I'm wrong - and an unforgiving git for period accuracy...but as lovely as the music is, it's a a bossa nova - unknown in the 1940s in any of the places shown here. Fabulous and fascinating footage, though. Thanks.

Thanks, born and raised in Vancouver and was really having a hard time identifying some of those Vancouver landmarks til I saw Chicago.
Yup, about 1:06 mins. of Vancouver footage!
As a Vancouver native, this confused the heck out of me. Thank you for clearing that up!
At 2:28 is a Chicago & North Western passenger train (perhaps the "400") arriving at Milwaukee's C&NW station.
I'm a Vancouver born 76-yr-old, who says only a minute City shown!
Not much of this is Vancouver. Around 4:00 we see light yellow streetcars, which was the colour used in Minneapolis.
Vancouver is only in the first two minutes. Not sure what other cities these are. Interesting footage though.
Seattle and Portland, it looks like.
Quite the travelogue. Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Chicago?, Cleveland, Pittsburg.
3:21 Field Museum, Chicago
4:21 Cleveland Stadium (opened 1931 - demolished 1996) and Cleveland City Hall (opened 1916 - demolished ????)
Stunning clarity, award winning clarity from film nearly a century old wow

Good point, but I always MUTE my videos so I never noticed!
Cool 😎 😊
Perhaps a new title for this video is in order! Vancouver , Canada footage almost non -existent !!
Newest car I see is a 1949 Ford..
