These were good time. High level of family values. If they only knew what was coming.......
Yes, really.....
You're absolutely right. It's such a pitiful shame what this country has become.
What do you think "was coming" that wasn't happening back then?
@@warrenlewis3977 hippies, democrat cheating in the 1960 election, civil rights of 1964, 1957 and integration. Also, hippies immigration act of 1965 great society... all these factors destroyed America inside out pernamently FOREVER.
Yeah... And the racism!
Films like this are a priceless window on our past. They need to be preserved as few survive, including “safety film”.
I am 37. This video is takes my breath away.
I was born in the wrong era. I Love this....❤️
Sad, truly sad. This was a time in history when the person you were talking to would look you in the eye and listen, not have there air pods in and looking in their phone, I wish terribly that I could go back to this time. But as of now there is no possible way for any of us to do that. All we can do is find and preserve films like this, to keep the American story intact.

Or you can just talk to people without having airpods in your ears?
It was also sad that people of color were treated as second class citizens, women per paid half of what men in the same jobs were, and so on. The past is not all good nor bad. Come to think about it, as bad as we think they are, these will become the good old days for our children.
In 1981, I was a baby being baptized in the church at 21:09 . The facade still looks exactly the same.
If only we could get back there from here and never come back to today.
Amen brother!
Thank you. Like looking through a time portal.
You're very welcome
Three. Years before I was born. In the Bronx later we lived in Somerville and Spotswood and.i attended Rutgers prep
Rutgers athletic center named after my friends father Lou brown who left his Alma matre Rutgers university a million dollars in his estate to build it. Jay gave me the nickname taranctula which stuck with me my entire life
My grandfather worked at the Baker Brush Company down on Greene street.
I was born at St. Elizabeth Hospital on May 3rd, 1954. It was at 689 Fort Washington Ave. in upper Manhattan known as the Hudson Heights area. St. Elizabeth's Hospital, which was built in 1928. In the mid-1980s it was gut-converted into co-operative apartments.
My brother Doug rand was born in 54 me in 51. He married a Dutch girl and moved to Santa Cruz Cali where is was a community organizer and peace activities. He was b o rn on May 4 and was an office manager
He was inspired by Phil oches and we grew up in Spotswood new jersey as kids
Next best thing to a time machine ...but watch this with sound muted.
America like we will never,ever see again.
Sad, truly sad.

@@HelloHello-hj7nw Sadly films like these showing good times are soon to be purged.
@@ZADOMAN48 so sad, American history thrown away. I believe that history is something that shouldn’t be erased it should be looked at and studied for entertainment and for lessons on past mistakes. Makes me so sad to see films like this go away, never to be seen again...
@@HelloHello-hj7nw So few words and so much context must be said by a true patriot.
NYC's advance in modernity was staggering back then. This is all gone, although NYC got some fascinating new high-rises in the decade before Corona. But today, NYC seems to head back into the 70s and early 80s.
7:51-8:37 is Green River, Wyoming.
18 years before the immigration bill of 1966. Heaven!
Went to Rutgers in the mid-70's. I recognize many of the New Brunswick buildings. The train station looked exactly the same. I went to see the Midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Art Cinema in Nov 1977. Before the movie, B&W Cards were presented that basically said, The Art Cinema didn't care what you ate, drank or smoked while watching Rocky Horror; the last card was "Please don't throw any Shit at the Screen!!" BTW - The screen already had a number of tomato? stains!!!
2nd BTW - If you watch th-cam.com/users/TheTimTracker , look at 17:15 -> 17:28. You'll go "Huh?!"
Is Tim immortal??
Time machine NOW!!!
At the start, the Hotel Pennsylvania, inspiration for PEnnsylvania 6-5000. And if I'm not mistaken, it's still the hotel's phone number, to this very day!
When you think about it, most things that made NYC the amazing place it was have now gone. The great stores on 5th Ave (just a couple remain) the incredible movie palaces (all gone apart from RCMH) Astor Hotel, Times Sq (now trashed) Penn Station, Hotel Plaza (pale shadow of its former self), the famous supper clubs at the leading hotels (all gone) and of course Manhattan apartments in a good area that you could buy without being a multi-millionaire/billionaire.
How did things go from being so lit up and shiny and interesting, to what we have now? Anything attached to postmodernism sucks. Say what you want to about Trump but he was absolutely right to mandate government buildings be built in the classical themes, even including art deco.
3:37 radio city music hall neon like scene the Godfather (1972)
HORRIBLE MUSIC M😨😑😑
Eighteen years before the democratic sponsored immigration bill of 1966. Heaven!
22:44 is the North Philadelphia train station. It looks similar to the footage here: th-cam.com/video/k8s6X-y7ol8/w-d-xo.html
No bl##dy internet or "Social Media"!!!!
Good ole days.... If you were white.
