What a cool piece of old film, produced by local station WPTZ, which was (as I learned via Wikipedia) the precursor to KYW-TV here. Shots of Philadelphia (downtown, Connie Mack Stadium and more) and surrounding areas from the mid-1950s. Is there any chance you'll hear the phrase "our equally industrious, equally prosperous neighbor Camden, New Jersey" again?
Found this through Twitter. The link to it was retweeted into my timeline by the photographer behind the excellent Picture Philly site -- a photo a day of Philadelphia.
