Hoss this video is AMAZING! Thanks for all the screengrabs.
If you don't mind, I thought I'd add a view more.

I thought the photographer was standing on the maintenance truck with the elevated 'tower' (visible on the left in
Hoss's screengrab),
but maintenance truck is pulling away in my screengrab. (did they leave him up on the utility pole?
)
There's a nice looking bungalow at the end of this side street.
Does anyone know what building that is directly behind the bungalow? (the large one with the twin smokestacks)
And I think that's a shoe shine stand in front of the luncheonette.................................................................................

Oh and here's one more: At one point a truck crosses in front of the camera.
It appears to belong to "Peviani's Meat & Groceries"

In 1929 (a few yrs before the video) Angelo Peviani was running the Lone Star Public Market (with a Jos Ercole) at 643 N. Main St.

And living with his wife Angelina at 464 N. Indiana.
Here's what 464 N. Indiana looks like today.

And by 1934, Angelo's grocery business is at 654 1/2 N. Spring (& he's still living at 464 N. Indiana)

After that my trail goes cold.
