Shot on 8mm film in 1938, this vintage home movie captures a bustling street scene outside the Hotel Berkshire in Reading, Pennsylvania. Men in suits and fedoras stand near the entrance, while a woman in a light dress walks past. Classic automobiles line the curb, including a delivery van for Ensslen's Cheese House. The grainy black-and-white footage shows a lively urban moment with pedestrians, luggage, and period clothing, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-1930s American city life.
