This video is priceless. Our Facebook group, "You might be from Charles City if U remember when....?", has enjoyed seeing this video of our town from it's 'better' days! Are there more videos we could see from the same source?

Clark, the arch still exists as part of the Charley Western Trail http://bridgehunter.com/ia/floyd/bh55120/ , and I just edited the video so people can just click "Play on YouTube" to go directly to the video.
