Newburyport: A Measure of Change

Wow. I haven't had time to watch the entire piece, but I wanted to post this as soon as possible.

I've seen hundreds of still photos of downtown Newburyport, but this film presents actual color video of what the city looked like prior to the urban renewal movement.

The description:

Lawrence Rosenblum's award-winning examination of the landmark decision to use historic preservation principles for the first time in Federal HUD projects. Uploaded to blip.tv with permission from Mr. Rosemblum.

Simply amazing. There will be a test on this, so watch and learn.
