[Photos] Out and About on Nguyen Hue Boulevard in the Late 1960s

Most are out of focus for some strange reason.

Horse-drawn carriages, flower shops with white-tiled basins and a multitude of parked bikes: these were what used to occupy the length of Nguyen Hue Boulevard in the 1960s before it became the walking street that it is today.

In this set of film photos by American serviceman Darryl Henley who was stationed in Vietnam in the late 1960s, there was once a Nguyen Hue jammed pack with vintage cars; crowds of passersby wearing the same cut of pants, white shirt and nondescript hairdo; and colonial-style shopfronts.

Take a walk about town.
