The City Kids

Yet another vintage NYC clip in the grand tradition of this one, herewith "New York Children 1970s." Pay no attention to the inexplicable "2002" in the upper left hand corner. This footage probably dates back to sometime between 1971 and 1974, although that's just a rough guess. This is the same New York fleeting spotted in films like "The Taking of Pelham 123," "Marathon Man" and "Harry & Tonto," although this is all real archival footage. I found this on my comrade Yukie's ever-excellent blog, SoHo Memory Project. For someone who grew up here in Manhattan during this same time period, some of this footage really takes you back (especially the shots of dusty Central Park in the summertime). Enjoy...
