When you really take the time to properly look at this, the scary thing is just about everything IS EXACTLY THE SAME.......
Lets take the whole thing shot by shot -

* Tram ride to city - Still there and a great ride. Did it last week
* Parklands walks - Still there and more manicured than ever in places
* Grand North terrace buildings - Still there and just as good as ever. Did it last week
* City views from the balcony - Still there and great from the majestic second story at the end of Rundle arcade . ( Or top of the OAKS apartments at Glenelg ) - Did it last week.
* Husband phoning wife at work to discuss weekend plans - Still there.....
* Car Manufacturing - replaced by ship building

* Boat cruises on the Torrens aboard the " Popeye " Scary, but that exact same boat is still doing boat cruises on the Torrens daily
* Rowing on the Torrens - ditto

Its actually quite scary, but you could retake that whole 20 minute video today in Adelaide and the only thing that has changed is the fashions and cars.
Life is what you make of it. People can choose to sit on the couch saying everything's turned to carp and there's nothing to do, or they can get off their butts and embrace all of the great experiences and opportunities that are out there. Your choice !
