What a grand glimpse of Atlantic City perhaps at the pinnacle of its popularity. Amazing color retention despite the passage of a considerable amount of time. I will echo the comment of RW R regarding the needless destruction of Atlantic City's Traymore Hotel c. 1972. I would add to the Traymore the Marlboro- Blenheim and a host of other architectural masterpieces of the past that are now lost forever. These places were built to last for centuries but due to changing fads and styles appreciation for their beauty fell by the wayside. There is a brief shot of Huylers restaurant. My family and I had the opportunity to eat there in the mid 70's. It was a nice experience.
It's a pity some of those classic structures are gone.
Thank you for posting this.
The beautiful Traymore Hotel @2:10. It was torn down for the new generation of hotels, and after 45 years, it is a vacant lot. My god what a waste. It was a literal treasure.
You ever go there?
@@acnj228 yes mostly the Trop
The casino owners as I understand it wanted to keep the grand hotels and I guess restore them as I understand it. The city government said no and almost all were torn down. One of the casino owners worked part of the original design of the new hotel, I forget which one. But you can walk inside and see part of the original design and ceiling. Those hotels were indeed beautiful, especially the Treymore. While watching Boardwalk Empire I was in awe at the exterior set designs and the interiors... at moments it felt like stepping back in time.
A lot has changed in almost 80 years. This was amazing to watch! Thanks for sharing!
Atlantic City is one of the best beach areas in NJ because it offers casinos, fine dining, shows and people from all around the world 🌍 visit, it's the closest to Manhattan..... about a 2 hour drive with good traffic and daily departures to and from the NYC Port Authority. 👏👏👏👏👏
It’s also the dirtiest
5:33: Wow! Huyler’s was my grandparent’s restaurant. It survived until the 1980’s. They also owned a bingo hall. My middle name is Huyler.
So cool!
The lobby area of the Marlborough Blenheim adorned with sofa was the highlight of a trip to Atlantic City after EXPO 67.
Thousands of people and not a single mobile phone.
Is that all you think about
Where are those people now?
Real natural green and with out having to use the phone for green or anything else
Noticed a couple of things about this. It seems to be shot on two different days. If you notice at both 1:44 and 6:49, the marquee for the Warner Theater has two different movies. The first one, "The Impatient Years" was released Sept 1944. Also showing is evidence of damage from the hurricane of the same month. Later on, the marquee showed "Bring on the Girls" which was from March 1945, which would confirm it was from Easter of 1945, along with the Steel Pier marquee.
I bet AC looks and feels like this today as well!
It's a shame they tore down most of those old hotels. They were architectural wonders. In this video you will see The Ritz, The Marlborough, The Blenheim, The Dennis, The Claridge, The Brighton, The Madison, the top of Haddon Hall and the one most prominently featured is The Traymore. I'm sure I'm missing a few but those were the bigger ones.
Dude that’s so cool
My Mom and Dad went there for their honeymoon, about 1957, I was born in 1960. I've been there myself, it's cool, I live on the coast of Boston, just south on the ocean, very similar to their beaches, the cold, clean Atlantic ocean, my home, where I feel best. Thank you for video.
Looks like Easter Sunday, 1945. AC would always be jam packed on that day and it kicked off the beginning of the tourist season.
High quality film (8mm camera sure?) Very good!
Yes is 8mm scanned with professional film scanner and then restored
Amazing how classy people dressed
I dont know if i would call it classy. More like formal. Too formal fir spending long periods of time outside near sand. Plus its easter.
I'm thinking that most of this video was filmed between Boardwalk Hall and Clarige. Lots of views of the Bally's Dennis Tower.
People dressed better back then.
a matter of perspective.
All those service people wandering around, blissfully unaware that they would get recalled in six years time.
Funny you should mention that; at about 3:00 they pan over what would later become the Korean War memorial
I'm going there tomorrow
Where you from
The city committed suicide once they tore down those beautiful old buildings.
Lots of folks with a shirt and tie.
Unbelievable- great clip
I hope that couple at 1:13 had a long happy life.
My family watched the lunar landing on The Dennis Hotel's lobby.
When you watch some current videos of the AC, boardwalk, you realize that it is now just a shell of what it once was. The nice stores have been replaced with spaces that look like flea market booths. To tear down magnificent structures like the Traymore in favor of what is now a vacant lot is just criminal. The Million Dollar Pier is now a mostly vacant "upscale" former shopping mall. I will always love AC deeply, but they ruined it forever.
My one aunt would go to ac on vacation but I was to little to know we’re she stayed looks very nice at that time
Easter in 1945 was April 1st.
People had class back then.
The theater in the right of rhe thumbnail is still kicking im pretty sure.
1945!!! A SEGUNDA GUERRA CHEGAVA AO FIM EM MAIO NA EUROPA E QUATRO MESES DEPOIS NO PACÍFICO!!!
FOI A JORNADA MAIS BRUTAL DE TODA A HISTÓRIA DA HUMANIDADE ATÉ A ATUALIDADE!
Must been war time still or people returning home from war
AC always gets a bad wrap but it's much safer and cleaner then NYC, Philly, B'more and Chicago
Is that saying much?
We used to be such an amazing country... we are now a decrepit husk of what we were, a pathetic shadow of what we could have been...
We were never that great. Your priviledge forced you into a state of naivety. As you got older you realized, "Wow... so things arent as perfect as i was led to believe."
All those people nicely dress including the ladies
Did any knew that women dress skirts are more genetic then pants
Is a fact
