It's unbelievable how much the US (and the world) has changed in less than 100 years - and not for the better !
True it has changed but in many ways it's still the same considering so many buildings and structures are still there
Bye bye Nazi Germany & holocaust you want to some greatest hits from that sh*t show called national socialism!
Yep, for example the commercial at the front of the videom.
The change is pretty remarkable.
10 years.
Glimpses of a forgotten world . I wonder what those people would think of the world today . I love to see these images . At 84 I can still remember when it all looked like that .
Hugs for you 🌹
@@gustavoperez5480 Thank you . All the best my friend .
Love the lounge vibe, and the beautifully colorized pictures. Thanks for taking me along on this ride!
Transport me back to those times! They were better in so many ways.
With all the knowledge of sports results. You will win millions
'The Great Depression' was not better in any way.
@@fluffy1931 1 in 3 were unemployed that means a lot of people were getting by okay. They were buying cars and houses and other stuff. Life was tough for some, but not all
The US economy shrank by 50% & unemployment was 20% and GDP decreased by 30% it was dumpster fire despite your fantasy.
@@dearbrad1996 33% unemployment is never getting by okay. Those that were employed were often feeding, clothing, and sheltering more than their own family, so while people survived through the goodness of others, few were getting by okay.
But of course those in the upper income brackets that caused much of the chaos cast the blame on many factors, primarily weather unlike the rich climate deniers of modern times. Those folks were indeed getting by okay, taking full advantage of the less fortunate.
Ahhhh, the good old days!
My parents married in 1933 and I really enjoy seeing these; thanks!
Thank you for your time and effort.
Closest thing to a tine machine! Love this. Thank you ❤
Very nice videos ( not kidding). Thank you for posting, be good, be safe !
Good vid. Beautiful pics.
WTF is a vid?
So wonderful and Historically Valuable that Channels like History Lounge have preserved America in each decade. Thanks to producers and editors from the Lounge we get to see the finished product. The many interesting look backs as our Nation grew and evolved right down to present day. I was surprised that so many Cars and People were crowding the streets in I guess it was New York. I thought traffic Jams were a modern headache of the past 30 years or so.
Had people back then realized just how collectable their cars would have become, I'm sure more of them would have kept them for their children to enjoy.
The prison workers reminds me of the museum in Panhandle, Texas. They still have the iron Paddy Wagon used to haul prisoners around that area for work projects. They also still have the mobile prison cell, that would follow the chain gang; where they would house them indefinitely outside, in all weather and never return to town. A pretty rough existence, but very efficient, as well.
Thank you for sharing ❤️🇺🇸
A better world.
In that one shot, did you see all those magazines? They read a lot is a understatement.
No TV, no interweb, just print,movies and radio for infotainment
People were more intelligent back then, even the illiterate ones
3:10 I grew up in an area where "hill streets" were popular destinations for parking vehicles that sometimes needed a little "manual starting assistance". Drivers would walk blocks just to be sure they wouldn't have to push [or hand crank, as another viewing just now makes me realize this old vehicle probably was].
7:37 "Can be purchased on the Partnership Plan" Two (or more?) men (in those days) would come into the dealership to find a single vehicle that would meet each family's requirements with Bill of Sale stating portion of purchase price and terms of use for each party. Even/Odd days, Daytime/Nighttime, Weekdays/Weekends, etc., were popular arrangements, with maintenance and repair proportions generally based on normal wear&tear (all parties or milage percentage based), accident (driver based), etc. Great way for best friends to become bitter enemies!
Thanks for another trip down memory lane.
Very nice compilation.
Awesome as always- Especially like seeing West, Tx- I live 10min N. of there- Thx for sharing!!
Did you see the big BOOM???
Very nice...
Wonderful restoration of some great snaps and the music is just soooo good
Wow, that was fantastic.
You cou can see. How simple It was back then. Love The speed limit sign and the beautiful California girls.
That was awesome, thank you.😮😮😮 👍👍
Jim Crow & Segregation strict race laws, Ku Klux
Kland, poll tax . Redlining & sundown towns forced relocation internment for loyal americans of japanese american ancestry.
Amazing footage. Well done and in deep gratitude.
I agree with you
1930s thumbnail sure worked
I'm a Seattle native. My dad had a radio & television store north of the Aurora Street bridge some years after the photo at 2:50. BTW, the squeaky door seems a bit quieter :)
So, what happened to your dad's store?
@@gustavoperez5480He ran it for some years, didn't care for operating it, and went to work for the national park service.
Simple living back then. It is true America had problems throughout her history no matter what decade or era it was however I would give up all of today's social media, electronics and fast food If I could go back to live in a different time period before Local politicians, Government and big tech sold us all out. Our leaders and presidents, on BOTH sides sold us out to China, and other countries. Towns were manageable, you may not have had all the gadgets like you have today. Women were plain lovely, men worked hard everyone loved America! Today is ghettos and slums and small towns are dying each year. I'm not that old however if I could live and love as my parents did, I would do it in a heartbeat! America is no longer strong, safe and free! Thank you so much for this video!
God Bless you Citizen !! One of the few remaining Americans with common sense, you do-your parents well....My #3 son just saw the light at 59 , he was most embarrassing to me as an ardent Obama supporter, we seldom spoke for years one day recently he called and apologized for doing just that.
In the early 60’s, I read Durant’s Story Of Civilization, have watched the decline of this society for decades, exactly as Durant wrote.
corporate boardrooms sold us out no matter who u voted for. lobbyists bend the laws and here we are.
love this.
I’m glad to hear it! Thanks for your comment!
Great video - thanks!!
The pretty young girl sitting in the middle of the seat in the pickup truck…has that beautiful, all knowing look..as if she can see into the future.
💯👍Thanks a lot, sir!
5:35 I'm in doubt that newspapers were printed in colour in the 1930's ;)
Nevertheless, again a very entertaining view from an era I never experienced, being born in 1950, but still gives me a feeling of nostalgia.
They weren't. When you use AI to colorize a photo, it isn't real easy to prevent it from colorizing everything. You'd have to go back afterwards and reinsert the B&W things you'd want by editing it.
Thanks!
@MelvinJ64 - Thank you so much for your contribution! It’s very kind of you and much appreciated. I’m glad you liked the video. Thank you!
Something distinct missing that is not our greatest strength after all.
That missing ingredient is for ALL the marbles too.
Been to Seattle lately, not clean anymore, love these pics.people were in shape, how did doctors make a living?
I live not far from Seattle. It's not clean anymore, very sad.
@@kennethphilips3226 well one thing, no one can take away the beauty that once was,that we were able to appreciate. Be well.
Dr's invented "High Fructose Corn Syrup" and blamed it on Billy Gates.
I moved, after 50 years I couldn't take Seattle it anymore!
yeah, seattle is dirty, like most large cities in the US. shame
Keindahan dunia yang fana
Alguém poderia me dizer o nome da música não dizer se jazz adorei a música e vídeo uma volta ao tempo obrigado brazil.
Super
Next item added in the travel checklist: sleep in a wigwam.
life in ancient times in Indonesia during the kingdom era. Evidence of the remains that still exist today can be seen today
I stayed in that wigwam!
How far back was the 1930s? My parents were toddlers and my grandparents were young adults. And they're all dead now in 2023.
Sad.
E muito triste mesmo.
Nothing rare about 1930's colorized photos. Real color photos from '30s are fairly scarce.
I don't think there were that many *purple* cars in the late 1930's..
🎉
It was funny to see the coke bill boards on the photos
🖐🔥🙄so glad I didn’t live back then! “The good old days” weren’t all so good. Great video!
Life was simpler back then. It was not always as good as now, but it was not as miserable as some modern progressives make it to be.
@@tuele4302 'The Great Depression' enters the chat ftard.
@@tuele4302 true, people can't miss what they never had.
Fun fact: until about 1970, 80% of the world was purple. The more you know.
Purple what?
@@YouChwb purple cars, purple signs, purple suits, purple hats, and on and on…
@@the_trevoir Purple Rain? lol!
The picture of girls on bike looks like 4 bodies to me .
The middle sister's whole body is facing the camera.
What that lady was wearing with the shorts just didn't fit in with the 1931 timeline!
It shows you that there was some game dames around in those days
they are all dead.
And soon you will be
And then we!
Wasn't there someone in your life you cared about that was around in the 1930s?
@@dearbrad1996 True. You knew I was depressed about pancreatic cancer?
Yeah it was the way you wrote your first reply. It had soon to be forgotten as a concealed phrase
