    All I could glean from the info shown above was that this vid was posted in 2019...then I saw all our friends were MUCH, MUCH younger. Finally found that it was actually filmed in 1994! Thanks to whoever posted that because I was about to write to the 'Team to find out who their plastic surgeons were!

      Notice the sharp edged cars , typical 1980s, which would still have been around in the early 1990s.

    This whole program is so pleasant. It's a witness of a culture, it's architecture, values, attitudes, well worth protecting and preserving. Beware or it will soon be overrun, as countless others have been throughout history. It will take open eyes and a firm stand. Do it for posterity. Let them enjoy what you have been gifted with.
