Just check out the video at California Room at Martin L. King library(5th floor). It has a tv monitor set with VCR recording available to anyone who wants to use it with a headset. The video is called "Downtown San Jose, a 24hr city". It was taped by channel 11 for its news special back in 1989. The report said there was pride in downtown back then when the first redevelopment effort was done-convention center, Retail Pavilion, office towers, light rail, Fairmont hotel and etc. Night life was thriving with DB Cooper and Oasis. Check out the video and see how Downtown has come along way since 1989 when people were excited about downtown. Note: no Sap arena, Tech Museum, no residential high rises and etc. were built yet at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923860625279115418.post-51734474412781892792014-04-09T09:17:25.352-07:002014-04-09T09:17:25.352-07:00Wow, first I'm hearing about this, and I feel ...Wow, first I'm hearing about this, and I feel relatively connected to stuff going on around here.
