GOOD NEIGHBORS (1944)

Here's a great video for those of you who grew up in Minnesota.  Larry was perusing internet archive.org and found this "Promotional film for the Minneapolis Star-Journal newspaper".   Most of it has to do with how a newspaper was put together in 1944 but there are photos of Minneapolis and the state and part of it's narrated by a very young Cedric Adams ☺

(A small aside: Notice how much Minnehaha Falls has changed, find the Foshay Tower,  and check out how many men smoked at work back then--cigs, pipes and cigars--while none of the women did).
THANKS, Larry!
