12 RECUERDOS de MONTERREY en los 60 que ya NO VOLVERÁN

What happened to the Monterrey of the 1960s, the one that smelled of toasted barley, roasted goat, and leisurely afternoons? The closing of the Cine Elisondo wasn't just the death of a movie theater: it was a sign that old Monterrey was beginning to disappear. On this journey through Mexican nostalgia, we revisit the city that many remember with their hearts: Calzada Madero on Sundays, the Santa Catarina River when it still flowed, the Fundidora Park bustling day and night, the city buses brimming with stories, and the Mercado Juárez where time seemed to stand still. We'll also remember that old Monterrey where neighbors shared the sidewalk, the heat wasn't combated with air conditioning, and life was lived closer, more slowly, and more communally. And in the end, you'll understand why the demise of the Cine Elisondo represents a much greater loss than it seems. 📍 In this video you'll discover: 00:00 The city that smelled of barley and goat meat 03:45 The Santa Catarina River with water and the Fundidora Steelworks 07:30 Madero Causeway, the neighbors, and the sweltering heat 11:15 Juárez Market: Where time stood still 15:00 Elisondo Cinema: The loss no one saw coming 💬 What do you remember about old Monterrey?
