This 1950s clip shows segments of Tijuana, Mexico, which borders San Diego, California.

Cars drive down a busy city street. A Mexican flag waves in the background. One hotel's sign reads "Hotel Caesar." Another hotel is called “The Mexican Hat"; a giant sombrero sits on top of the hotel. Tourists wear sombreros as they sit in a carriage that's attached to a donkey. A man takes a picture of the tourists while local Mexicans look on with amusement.
