Plus, with a growth of a whole fucking city, do you really not expect to see more populace in Manhattan? It''s just a part of the city, has to do with nothing. If LA grows, can you not expect to see more people at South Beach? Dumb fuck.

    Great work! The earliest car I could find was a 1924 Packard on the west side highway so I suspect that film is probably from a couple years later. The newest car I saw was in Central Park, a Beautiful Buick 40 Series so I would guess the latest film footage is from circa 1941. Incredible work by the folks at New Yorker.

      There were no video cameras in the late 19th century, they were film cameras, video wasn't invented until the 1950s. All moving pictures are not "video".

    Interesting in that there seem to be many more people using bicycles for transportation now than back then, when presumably an automobile represented a much larger proportional investment. They also seem to have gotten away with many fewer traffic control devices such as marked crosswalks and pedestrian signals - people crossed willy-nilly and I didn't see any conflicts. Beautifully done. Interesting choices of neighborhood-specific music.

      All aves were two-way in Manhattan at some point. In 1908, south of 59th street was widened...it's likely that around that same time, traffic was averted to one-way.

    • @kwbalance108
      @kwbalance108 6 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      A good two decades or so before these videos were taken, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens were independent. They weren't boroughs; they weren't consolidated into New York City. before 1898, New York City was exactly that; Manhattan Island. A number of folks of this time would have still had the habit of saying New York City for Manhattan and not the other boroughs. Gotta understand that part of our history.

    In the 1930s, they use the early Westinghouse Mercury Vapor lamps, which look like brushes that used for car wash because the fine bristles that used for shielded the light to the ground only to reduce light pollution back in those days.

    • @rayfridley6649
      @rayfridley6649 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      David, those old street lights may have been arc lamps Just before Edison invented the incandescent light bulb, another inventor created an arc fixture whereas an arc inside a sealed globe would emit a very bright light when turned on at night. Arc lighting was simply impractical for indoor use. These were used for about fifty years since their first appearance in the 1880s.

    Unlike the "Then and Now" film of Los Angeles, where most people thought the new city is horrible in comparison, I think New York actually never looked better than it does now. There are more trees which add to the ambiance, less litter, better landscaping, and a LOT less pollution today than before. 42nd and 8th streets aren't a seedy mess of prostitutes and pimps like it used to be. You don't have people following you around trying to sell you drugs anymore. The crime rate is down. Since 9/11, the people are actually friendlier too. I only wish they would bring back the Checker Marathon Taxis and get rid of the trashy, disgusting Taxis that are on the roads now. Those Checkers were IDEALLY suited for New York's roads. They were HUGE inside. They took the potholes and other badly rutted streets like they were nothing. Like London did with their Taxis, New York should have done with theirs.
