*Ignore the people in this video. The main purpose of posting this is to show old 80s footage of Houston freeways and downtown scenes.
I arranged these clips in order as they were filmed, even if the events/locations don't make any sense.
The end of the video will mention where it came from. I recorded this manually using my iphone off the screen. I don't own the footage.

When Houston was still a good place to live! Love the 97 Rock billboard!
-
Buildings and freeways look very similar to now. It's the cars that have changed.

moved to Houston in 83 and it was a cool somewhat big country city with Ice Houses everywhere. You could drink a cold beer in different parts of town, have fun and it was cool. Not so much now. Too many crazy drivers, like everywhere and the city is being ran by corrupt people like most city's now but that's the sign of the times. I still love Houston

That traffic way too chill compared to today lol... got lots of memories riding with my dad around Houston in the 90's.
-
That NIGHT TIME footage was ON-POINT!!
-
I moved to Houston near the end of 1986, this is how it pretty much looked around the downtown and freeway areas.

Billboard @3:29 reminds me of the "97 FM Rocks" and the "Rock 101 KLOL" days!
-
I remembered the old north 59 when I was a kid. The stores and homes used to look alot more rundown than it is today.
-
Freeways looked so chill back then, but now we’re the new LA 😩😩
-
Cool video. Video quality and edit is nice. Thanks for sharing!
-
I remember watching this movie on HDNet Movies back in the 2000s. One thing that bothered me is they went from I-45 to suddenly being on 59 and then 610 and Shepherd. Anyone from Houston would see that.

OMG…..Bless you for this!
-
This is just footage from the film Paris, Texas.
-
If I could only spend just a day in 1983 again….
-
Very cool what you did here!
-
Hey I emailed you two weeks ago about the tree branches that were sitting in the driveway. Are you still going to pick them up?
