Trading Centers of the Pacific Coast (1947)

★★★★ · SEA, PDX, SFO, LAX, SAN · Wilford B. Wolf · 2004-08-02

Fairly early Coronet film chronicaling the major cities of the West Coast. Excellent footage of the cities in the late 1940s, giving a glimpse how the cities were. Interesting to see places like Seattle and Portland back when the major focus was timber and agriculture. Also a decent broadly theoretical outline on how and why cities develop and grow.
