Amazing what it was and now what’s it’s become is a travesty

Soo GOOD!! ❤

You would know better than I, but it looks like she is standing on the steps of 481 Quincy St based on the stone and railing, which have not changed as they appear on Google Street VIew.

Wish I had movies of my mom in her childhood during the 1930s. But there's lots of pictures that I am grateful for.

This is nice. Thanks for giving us this insight into the world right after the War.

Beautiful music by Anna Haas!

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely video of the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade

Thanks for sharing David!

Thanks so much for this great video. I remember many of those buildings from my childhood. My great grandparents had lived here in Dallas since the late 1800s. The next 4 generations were born in Dallas so going back in history brings me immense pleasure. The song and music was fantastic. Once again, thank you so much for posting this video. I'll be checking out your other videos.

Back in those days buildings and skyscrapers were just beginning to be built with glass. Most were concrete and brick and very simple box shapes. Nowadays they build skyscrapers with more advance futuristic design and engineering like the rocket shape Fountain Place, Reunion Tower sphere, AMLI Fountain Place, Museum Tower and other designs in other big cities.

Looks like Tijuana now! Such a shame

Thank you very much. I was raised on the foot of the mountain. I was held by my dad in the parking lot of the corner deli, as the whole mountain burned orange one night. The night this all stopped.

My grandparents lived on Shaw Rd, and my dad's friend lived on a farm, off of Moffat Rd, the Railway pass driveway.

Wish we can go back in time!

The gentleman who finished in 2nd place, Felix LaFenetre, was issued a medal for this event which fell in to my possession. Another medal - from a lot of three - suggests he finished 2nd in the same race in 1931. Thank you for closing the loop on my research. The theme music is beautiful and complements this historic footage well.

Aren't you better off putting marching band music to this video ?

How about the big jump off the cliff on the side of the mountain in Salisbury Mills, NY where many gathered in the 40s and early 50s? Anybody remember that location, favored by many Scandanavians. I believe they named that location after Togre.

I was born and raised in Skowhegan. Your granddaughter’s music is lovely.

Worst choir singing A corny song

I remember doing this with my family in the 60's. One time on the way down there we're two older women sitting behind us who started singing, "I left my heart on top of Mt. Beacon". I love those memories. ❤

Going back in time beautiful and yet sad! Dad was a Nike Base officer from 1962 to 1965 ( Fort Cronkite) headlands. Lived in beautiful military housing presidio. SF was amazing ; parents are gone now and so is the once beautiful city by the bay! 💔

I graduated 1970 the years prior

Where was Feller's farm?

Thank you ! I think it was ‘64 when we moved to Suffern - we lived in the house on Rt 59 that had the well right in the front yard and in ‘67 we moved to a house on Cherry Lane

Very cool We moved there in the mid-60’s .. love it ! The best of times. I had my first real kiss at Lafayette theater. 😊 I remember the seasons - how beautiful ! Incredible snowstorms. Thank you for sharing this !

Thank you for posting.

My dad took the family to watch the ski jumping there once around 1960

This is such rare, valuable historic footage. I've never seen Zachini, The Human Bullet before. I don't think anyone else has footage of him. Does anyone know the name of the singular rocket shown from 1:28 to 1:48? As someone else mentioned, this has to be dated 1941 or later because it shows the Parachute Jump and that wasn't installed at Coney Island until 1941. Thank you so much, David, for sharing this with the rest of us!! 👍

Super sweet!! Thank you so much for sharing this, David!! ❤❤❤

interesting at 3:36 it says "sophie tucker for president, truman at the piano." There's a song by sophie tucker that came out in 52 where she talks about running for president 4 years ago.

It looks the same, yet everything has changed

Absolutely amazing

The skyscraper at the 4:08 mark was the only skyscraper build in WWII in the U.S. The tall spike at the top told the weather by lighting up to display different colors. Blue was one type of weather, green was another, etc.

0:19 i30 going into downtown 😯

Awesome video!

Is Monte Proser the guy whose back is to the audience at 1:10?

World War II ended when the Japanese surrendered in 1945.

I had such a crush ona teacher whosename, if memory serves me was Mr Martin. Does anyone remember him?

Last time I was on Ocean Parkway was 2011 making deliveries.Brooklyn had a feeling all it's own when I first visited in the 1960s to see Railway Express REA where my Father worked in Queens.I remember meeting people who spoke old Brooklyn

Hows nice it once was.

Not as wild as it looks, they are mostly clowning for the camera.

The way she looks at him with so much love. But when you've got a Lily, there's no looking back.

This may be the National Championships in September, 1930. My grandfather, Eddie Seufert, was runner up in that race, losing to Domenick Tucellow, a jockey who raced for several years on the side but never turned pro. There no doubt were many other events there but this is significant enough a race that it may have been chosen to film. And Domenick was Italian.

Your daughter has beautiful coice

I went to SHS (class of 1977) but my family moved away in 1975. I was in the band and orchestra, remember some of these teachers. Thanks so much for posting!

Love the song...Find your home Anna Haas.🌉

Scenic and emotional at the same time. San Francisco will always be me my grandparents driving to the commissary in the presidio through the sunset district and baker beach to get there. We get food at the cafeteria and listen to the fog horns as the ships passed through. Very few people flew back then and the drugs were less toxic. The worst people did was uppers and downers. Marijuana and being saucy or being in the bag was bad living.. Hard to imagine that now with cannibus shops in every neighborhood....

This is quite something to see. Almost emotional. Thanks. And thanks to the person who said their parents ran the Oceanaire.

Never saw your film before! Great color. Just like being there again. Thanks for sharing.

What street was this on?
