Re: Sidewalk Surfing - Central Park - 1965
And now one of my faves by dir. Claude Jutra for the NFB about a group of young Montreal high school kids anglin' around Westmount circa-'66 and ducking the fuzz at Beaver Lake!
This footage is all shot around Mont-Royal (urban park designed by famous landscape architect Frederick Olmstead sometime in the late 1870s, who also designed Central Park in NYC) and the kids appear to be LCC'ers - same prep school I was kicked out of at roughly that age!

I love that. Such cool kids.
George- I've been on the bay and one or two interesting, less obvious, alternatives. I'll send you a PM in a little while.

Any excuse to play my favorite Beach Boys song:

Mom, I'm goin to the beach, ...yeah, I'll be home before it gets dark.

Hold up... did you say, 'ducking the fuzz at Beaver Lake?'

Liam, I remember that and it's not a bad choice... but I'm still after an original '60s Campus tee in green or red stripes, they can't be beat!

Aye, it's not a real alternative. Just plugging the hole in your heart till you find what you really want.
