    I wonder what the intersection of the opening footage, looks like today. There was every possible mode of transportation available at the time of this historical footage (streetcars, cars, trucks, horse and carts and finally, bicycles). Exception: roller skates. Traffic lights hadn't been invented yet either. I could be wrong but as then, the same is true today: Thank God for those that wear the uniform and keep order. Thanks for the adventure, Mel.
