Here's a home movie focused on a small town’s businesses and a wide-scale community event in San Jose, California, in 1948. 

The clip opens with a man in a dress shirt and apron standing in front of a building with a young girl in a bright blue dress. She waves to the camera, and he ushers her inside.

A shot of a building that says "Red & White Rays." Then, a man stands in a doorway in front of an open sign wearing a white apron, brown sweater vest, and white-collared shirt. He goes inside. The building has a sign that reads “Beers - Wines”

A large, vertical, red and white neon “Liquor” sign looms against the cloudy sky. A young brunette girl wears a blue hat, top, and skirt; the skirt has a white fur trim. The girl stands outside of a florist’s shop with a man who's wearing brown slacks and a brown dress shirt. The man waves at the camera. Then the man and girl enter the florist business together. A sign reads “The Deco Shop." 

A man in a white shirt and slacks stands outside of a storefront with a young blonde girl in the same white and blue outfit mentioned above. Both the man and girl enter the store. A sign reads "Peters Bakery." 

A very young girl with strawberry-blonde, curly hair wears bright pink shorts, a shirt, and a hat alongside an older man who's wearing a blue shirt and brown slacks. They enter the store behind them. A pan shot shows the "Foothill Creamery" sign. Another sign says "Top Hat."

A man in a gray suit stands with a young boy in a top hat and tails. They wave to each other, and the boy walks away as the man enters. A sign reads “Top Hat.” 

Another young girl in the same bright pink get-up as before stands with a man in a white suit jacket and brown slacks in front of a store. They walk inside together. A sign says “Alum Rock Pharmacy,” showing the platinum art-deco exterior of the building. 

Interior shots show a busy day at a butcher shop as employees help customers. 

Another young girl in the blue and white costume stands next to a man in brown wearing an apron. They enter the storefront behind them, and a sign reads “Food Lionel’s.”

At the florist’s storefront seen earlier, a different girl in the blue and white get-up receives a white flower from a man in a gray suit before they enter the florist. 

Flowers are seen within a glass case next. Porcelain figures of different people are also within this glass case. 

A man in a tan shirt and pants set poses with a boy in a top hat and tails at a car mechanic shop. The boy walks away. We see an exterior shot of the “Shell” mechanic shop.

A sign reads “ Al's Lawnmower Service,” and an older man in navy blue overalls waves to the camera. 

At a storefront with a sign that says "Tony's Shoe Shop,” one man and two women wave at the camera. The camera follows them as they walk down the steps of the business. 

A teen girl in a black and pink ruffled top and shorts stands outside of a business that bears the sign “Mayfair Beauty Shop." A man and woman who are dressed in white stand next to the teen girl. The three enter the Beauty Shop together. A sign says “Mayfair Expert Dry Cleaners."
