Here are the notes from the site the video is from.
This old 8mm movie of Bend, Oregon was made in either the Fall of 1967 or early Spring of 1968.
The movie begins at the north "Y" and goes south down US 97 (3rd Street) to Safeway at the corner of Franklin. Then it turns west on Franklin past Murry Holt on the left.
It goes under the underpass and past the old hospital site on the right. The motels (Uptown and City Center) and the service stations are mostly or all gone.
Then it turns right on Bond and left on Greewood to get a nice view of the old Pilot Butte Inn. The Inn was closed by this time, and the furnishings were on sale (red sign)
Then the movie takes us along Wall Street and turns down toward Drake Park
Big Game tonight :)....... Savannah State Tigers (2-16) vs Marshall Thundering Hurd (11-4) in some hot Division I college bball action!! Go Tigers!! There is nothing else on tv tonight.
