This is a digitized 35mm film from a car cruising the Las Vegas strip in 1975. Those were the days, weren’t they? No clue, I wasn’t even a worried look on my dad’s face yet. It would have been cool to experience Las Vegas back in its heyday though. Especially

Brought to us by Youtuber glamourdaze, this is some AI restored footage (noise and artifacts removed, upscaled to 60fps and 4K, color added) of life at Paris’s cafes in the 1920’s. It’s all got a very Great Gatsby feel to it, just Parisian. Obviously, while watching it I’ll try to
