Hello all,

I've been doing a bit of NFB research lately and stumbled across a wonderful short film that was used as a promo piece for the Gréber Plan. There's some excellent colour footage of "pre-Gréberian" Ottawa as well as some excellent screenwriting ("even my bunyons have bunyons!").

Great find. Ottawa looks so rough and ready (and dirty) in that clip. It makes the Ottawa of today look that much blander. Good thing they got the trains out of downtown and solved our traffic problems. ;)
