Periscope Films, I love finding the most "boring" sounding topic amongst these videos and watching them in full! Theres just something about the square, banal normality that I find really compelling. I like imagining im a tourist at a travel agency watching promotional films to help me decide where to holiday
Filmed 12 years before Daytona 500, 16 years before the Kennedy Space Center and 24 years before Walt Disney World opened. 1947 pop was 2.5 million and 2023 pop is 22.6 million.
My gramps was stationed in Kissimmee in the early 40’s He took me to his old house back in the late 70s right across from the states monument. He said he would pick grapefruit for breakfast from the backyard. Then on to Savannah then out west to Kingman then finally Blythe. All in 4 years! Gunnery instructor on the p-47 thunderbolt.
Very sad. A 60k cost for a 2/2 stand in line for 2.5 mill with what seems like a 36 hour span. Oh look! How cute! Another alligator on a golf course. Tee hee!
This was back when people had respect for themselves as well as the others around them. That acted/carried themselves in a way that showed they had respect for themselves and others. Today you walk down a street and you have homeless drug addicts sleeping on the streets...people yaking into cell phones cursing with every other word..."F this" and F that...etc. Also, many, especially young people look like trash covered in tattoos, pearsings and torn clothes. Many look like they just crawled out of bed and were too lazy to get dressed. Yeah, welcome to America. Do I blame the politicians....only to an extent. It is WE americans that have let it slip over the last 4 or 5 decades. We stopped going to church...stopped taking our kids to church....failed to set a good example and became tolerant of low moral behavour.
Like what you see here? Don’t worry we’ll fill in some more swamp land and wetlands for you, so come on to the future low rise capital of existence…The parking lot formally known as Florida. All are welcome.
The cigar rolling building in Jacksonville, FL is now a Maxwell House coffee plant.

Interesting Past Of Florida And I Have Been Here Now For 55 Years From Illinois And Wouldn't Go Anywhere Else, Thank You For Sharing, Wendy
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being a subscriber.
Where going to St Augustine was truly an Adventure, and not a traffic infested eyesore...
5:23 It wasn't that we lost the war, it was that it was not worth the effort to track them down in the Everglades.
Damn straight
Cypress gardens is still here.
How 'bout Silver Springs?
@@WAL_DC-6B yep, silver spri gs state park is still open and the glass bottom boats are still there.
@@theJellyjoker Boy that's good to know as I first visited Silver Springs as a very young child with my parents in the summer of 1964.
Funny, back then the southwest not mentioned. The wild life must have been great then.And the Everglades not mentioned or the Gulf Stream.

He said Miami Beach surrounded by Coconut palms and showed Royal Palms..LOL!
Sad to see what Florida has become.
Florida is wonderful! Great governor too. Everyone is moving there.
To many people on the earth. Texas so hot and everyone from California moving there. Live close to any Florida beach for freedom.
Agree...Has become a sweltering overpopulated eyesore...
Yankees and a special mouse is what has ruined Florida

Don't drink the water at the fountain of youth
Florida?
Much too warm for me.
Most likely because you're on cr*ck, is my guess.
I noticed that they completely left out Tampa and Fort Meyers which were more established and richer than Jacksonville.
