Historical City Promotional Videos

Check out these two gems from Philly, the first from the 50's, the second from 1977. Do you have any for your city?

This was a big one for Cleveland in the Summer of 2009:

For some reason, the second one (funnier IMHO) isn't "available in my country"...

Both videos are pretty hilarious albeit the second one is much harder on Cleveland in critical observations.

I love how they are pushing Camden & Trenton as equals to Philadelphia. Even back then wouldn't any non-blind tourists notice a huge difference amongst these cities?

This one is part ABC affiliate promo, and part Detroit promo.

But it's one of the most memorable Detroit booster commercials of my lifetime.
