"Babes on the Riverfront"
Detroit Riverfront Festivals PSA
:30 PSA
Department of Public Information
City of Detroit

U-Matic tape containing a public service announcement promoting Detroit's 1990 season of Riverfront Festivals in Hart Plaza. The spot features voice-overs which provide the thoughts of babies and a horse in a manner resembling the 1989 film "Look Who's Talking." The shop includes shots of women eating corn on the cob, an upright bass player, and a wide shot of people on the riverfront. The spot ends with a title card featuring a phone number to request more information, small photos from past ethnic and jazz festivals, and text noting the 20th anniversary of the series.

The video is on a 3M UCA-20 U-Matic tape with a printed label affixed over 3M label on its top. The tape is housed in a black plastic latching case with a handwritten 3M label on its cover.
