I was 6. We lived off of I-20 and Trail Lake and could see the CNB clock from our house. To me, that was the coolest thing ever. Thank you.

Thanks so much for posting this! I could see our family bookstore at 8th & Throckmorton; Dad never missed a day of work, he was probably there, ànswering the phone and running the cash register when this was filmed. Miss you, Dad.

That's awesome. I don't know the area could you give a time on that? I'm just curious which building and if it's still there today in July 2024. I see a Barbers Books est. 1925 at that corner.

You can see the roof at 1:44 Barber's Books. Still there, now owned and operated by my older brothers. I remember the old red bricks on 8th Street. Looks like the Convention Center is still under construction; I'd guess this was about 1970.

We moved from West Texas to North Texas fort Worth to be exact in 1967 me My brother and two sisters. I was7 at the time seeing downtown fort Worth was amazing to me. Coming from a small town I said to myself what a giant city.

So many buildings that aren't there anymore, the CNB Bank building (with a WORKING, revolving clock), the Convention Center nearing completion, what looked like the footprint of a former roundhouse. Things sure did change over time in the town of the cow.

Neat that you can see a few slices of the roundhouse on Google Maps

I watched the CNB building being built. You could go in the elevator to the 27th floor and walk up to the roof, door wasn't locked. My school buddies would go to the edge and "spit" to the street and time how long it took to hit the street. Dangerous as hell, we didn't know that!

I remember that old skyline well. You could see that clock on top the old CNB building practically anywhere in the city. The Worth Hotel and Medical Arts building still standing and the revolving Conoco sign still there. A lot of change.

55 years and so much changed!

Major understatement! Right? I was 8 in 1968. I’m 64 now. Things have dramatically changed over the years. We moved to Central Texas 10 years ago and when I go back to Fort Worth, it’s barely recognizable in some areas of town. So much so I have to use navigation so I don’t get lost. Crazy.

83 degrees just before noon. Must have been in April LOL

Do you remember the humidity in FW to be much lower back then? We had Horny Toads around our house. I always associated their disappearance with rising humidity.

Naw man remember it’s global warming climate change, that must have been mid august. Never use common sense you will confuse most people today who neither have nor want it.

Fort Worth back then had about as many people as Arlington does today. It's creeping up on a million population now.

Looks like the opening sequence to "Dallas", low helicopter aerial shot approaching downtown. Only it's over a public housing project.

I wish they never took down that cnb building . Could have been iconic for the years to come.

@roypribble2233 4 ай бұрын

It was "heavy maintance" and falling apart. Not worth the repairs.

Yes, it was much cleaner back then.

Why didn’t they film the Tarrant County Courthouse? I find that really odd.

@mikeifyouplease 2 ай бұрын

I was looking for that too. But if you watch carefully, right at the end...you'll see it on the left. They should have zoomed in on it,

I remember this skyline quite well and I must say this was the real Ft Worth cowtown I wish that they would have built more taller slender buildings because the ones built in the 80s are too wide and bulky
