This one was made by me, a drive to Ames.
The cars bustling to get in and out of the plaza might make you misty eyed
Though it isn't really, I dressed, styled my hair, and shot it intended to seem like it is from the Early 90's
I'm only 22, but since I look a lot like my dad, I just
tried to look the way he used to back then...(though he was mid 30's..)
I even grew his old moustache for the damn thing! (lol)
Keep your eyes peeled for a Pizza Hut and Taco Bell that are also untouched from the Early 90's, adding to the authenticity (nice!)

Unfortunately Youtube disabled the original audio (which was all 90's pop/rock on the radio)

Those are awesome videos!! When did you go out to Barre, VT? I was there twice this year, it was pretty exciting when I started recognizing the surroundings in the video and there it was Ames Plaza and the Ames store!

That trip to Barre was shot just yesterday, thanks to you.
I notice you and me have hit a lot of the same locations. I've lived in this spot my whole life.
I'd been there as a child. I wanted to shoot a video of it, along with the foliage (foliage makes me nostalgic)
and I wanted to make it look as if it were really shot 20 years ago
It was kind of neat how the sun was going down the whole trip (about a two hour drive)
and then I got there just as it hit the horizon, and 20 minutes later as I left it was already night.
The whole drive I was like "Aww the lighting for this is gonna be sweet"

Nice videos!  The first appears to be filmed in a former Zayre (Ames #2143: serie of number related to former Zayre stores) and the original Zayre font checkout numbers can be seen at 1:40 in the video.
