Shot on 8mm film in 1938, this vintage home movie captures a street scene in Reading, Pennsylvania. A white Ensslen's Cheese House delivery van drives past pedestrians, including a man in a fedora and several children, on a city street lined with brick buildings. Classic automobiles from the era, including a dark sedan, are parked and moving along the road. The footage exhibits natural film grain and a slightly shaky, observational camera style typical of home movies from the late 1930s.
