Born in 1961 in Brooklyn. This is what I see when I close my eyes and remember childhood. NYC will always be a Black and White Film to me. It was dirty and sweaty, even in winter with the steam heat radiators. Dog shit everywhere- even in the batter's box at Shea! I watched the Twin Towers go up from my roof in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and as they came down way too many years too early. Back then, everything smelled like piss, but a slice was cheap and smokes cost 55 cents. We could play many innings of stick ball without a car stopping us-and we stood up on the swings!
Are you still living in sunset Park? downtown Brooklyn is getting priced out and people are slowly moving towards South Brooklyn. Sunset Park is going to be the next IT. With the subway Express stop at 36th Street this is a no-brainer for real estate developers. I used to get my haircut from a barber in that area 4th avenue and the 30 something street.. way back. I live in Bay ridge.
I was a kid there in 70 & enjoyed my childhood. But, realistically NY was generally a grimy city at that time with pollution and crime problems on the rise. A lot of the industries in the NY and Connecticut metro areas were shutting down, with many people losing jobs. It was sometime in 1971 that graffitti hit hard and things went downhill further. But for me it was a wonderful time to be a kid and I enjoy seeing videos like this that remind me of those simpler times.
At the end you saw the R10 subway trains of 1948 in the yard and the stack of retired subway cars R1, R6, built in the 1930s ready for the trip by barge to the scrap yard. I am a New Yorker, I should know. I rode on those trains. The difference was the R10s had florescent lights and the R1s thru R9s had light bulbs on the ceiling.
Great footage. And a big thank you to your Father for having the presence of mind to shoot this on his business trip, in what I imagine would've been very early days of home movie cameras. A big thumbs up!
I used to fly to New York City in the early-to-mid-1970s to stay with my grandparents in an apartment they owned there. It didn't seem so bad then. But by the early 1980s, when I was a student in CT and used to go on day trips to NYC, it became really seedy and much more dangerous (or so it seemed). Thanks for showing us a slice of life from an easier time.
Love and miss every inch of N.Y. best place to grow up in Whitestone. We went on a good friends boat ,layed down as huge JET went right over us. Amazing ✈️🚤🗽
+kakashi101able It's funny when young people have no concept of how things were. the 60's, 70's, and 80's were some of the most wonderful decades in history!!!! Music, Fashion, Science, Philosophy, Technology, Art....What , You think that because the fact that you are watching old grainy 8mm film, which makes everything look dreary and weird in color, and because you weren't alive then, that it must have been a "dark time"?????Get a clue kid, You missed some great stuff.
Oh no! It was the best time for entertainment! Some of my favorite movies/music is from those decades. But it is true though that crime was very VERY high in those days!
Again, the very way that you think and process information amazes me!!! How would you know that "It is true" that crime was "Very, Very High" then? How would you know that? Did you read it? You have an impression which is completely wrong, and in your limited experience (None in this case) you have formed an opinion, which you are spouting as if it's true. People acted exactly the same, and had all of the same problems. the only difference is that more was expected of kids in school, so people generally dressed better,and learned more, so they were smarter and more well rounded. The biggest difference that I see, between those decades and this one, is that in spite of all of our technology, and the ability to contact people any time and to get and send info instantly, To learn about any subject on earth, people today talk less, know less, and are generally more lazy.
Again you speak as if you know. You are talking to a man that owned a store in NYC for over 30 years. I know the truth about Crack while you read statistics. Crack was and is a huge problem, and some of the best stuff that I ever bought was from crackheads who would come into my store to sell their stuff to buy crack. You can read all of the statistics that you can find, but there is nothing that tells you the real truth, other than actually living it.
The crime rate is normally not evenly distributed over a city and typically varies depending on the day time and the social classed you deal with. I'm currently living in a city which may have comparable crime rates to New York in the 70's, but till now I'm still lucky to not have been exposed to it. ... but there is alway a chance to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Places that are no more. A quick glimpse of Shea Stadium at :40 with the Worlds Fair Marina in Flushing Meadows Park. The construction if the World Trade Center in two views, street and from the river. The street view also shows construction of 1 Liberty Plaza. I was born and raised in NYC, it was dirty and run down back then. It started making a come back in 1994.
NY Airways was everywhere back then. I was a teen student pilot at the time, based at LGA. I'd watch NYA choppers land on top on what's now the MetLife building in midtown... a kind of aerial taxi from the airports. This series from peettheengineer are wonderful. I don't care that it's not videos.
Katz's on Houston St. at 3:16 followed by a walk down Orchard St on the Lower East Side. I was a little kid in 1970 living in the Bronx, but I'm not sure the city was any more "beautiful" then as it is now. In fact, the city was an absolute mess by the late 70's and quite dangerous. NYC is much better now in many ways than it was in the 70's and 80's but I tend to romanticize the "good 'ol days" myself. Excellent film, really nice work by your dad. Great stuff.
As a native New Yorker seeing this film really brought back memories. It was if I was in the future looking back in that time. I know that may sound a bit sureal, but I alwasy loved that time. It wasn't a perfect city but it was the best. i couldn't afford a hot dog back then, but now i can and it's not good for me anymore..go figure! :):) Good clip. do u have anymore?
Really great vid! Twin Towers construction is priceless. I live in the Bronx and have been to all the places seen in this video. Those were great times even if the city was starting it's downfall.
Your dad caught the Twin Towers being built @ 4:04. There's a solid 9 seconds of footage here. Was on the lookout for this given the year of film, and there it is. Cheers!
as art student i got robbed of my tuition $ in central park while shooting a super 8 animation in the snow...5 boys with a gun snuck up on me...followed them maybe a mile hoping to find one cop in that ritzy upper west side...no cops and had to beg bus money to get to jersey that day. Manhattan was my playground from 15 yrs old on up....free museums...central park zoo...going up tall buildings for views...street musicians and crazy people all the time...even a Buddhist monk burning himself to death on the sidewalk on Broadway...got there after it was over. Saw celebrities like poet alan ginsberg...john lennon...alan rossi...salvador dali. You could wander nyc all day and feel totally alone....feed the pigeons for company...or meet really friendly people sometimes...i had nearly gotten caught by a few pedophile porn men...it scared me silly! It almost makes me cry to look at these clips. For 35cents u could ride to any burrough...to my cousins in queens...grandma in grammercy park...and the long island RR took me to my rich grandmas beach house in Long Beach...cheap...ladies on the old rickety train cars knitting out of baskets as the train went from under to above ground with opened windows and no ac in summer...soon...last stop Loooonnng Beech! says the conductor...and youre in sand and sea gull country...wooopee! Never like the twin towers from their start...my old friend and priest Mychal Judge died famously at ground zero...😢 Could go on for days talking nyc...bronx...queens...brooklyn...MANHATTAN! Greenwich Village...Viet Nam war protests...on & on thanks for posting this😌
1970. The year I immigrated to the USA and I am still living in Manhattan. It was so lonely at the beginning because it was so hard to meet people without command of the language and Manhattan is just not small town, Iowa. Eventually, going away to college took care of that and have seen the city go through many phases. I don't like that lower middle class people can't afford to live here comfortably, so many neighborhoods were gentrified and entire blocks of people like in the UWS were removed and diversity diminished. Amazingly enough, your father took more footage of that time that I ever did. Thanks to him we can have a glimpse of what it was.
Police officer writing on something and leaning on a 1969 white CHEVROLET as you can just make out the model year as CHEVY somewhat like the PLYMOUTH/CHRYSLER/DODGE had a simular ONE BIG CHROME OVAL SURROUND ON THE FRONT END*Lady with leopard design coat and her man friend with the all famous ALPACA STICH 2 COLOR TONE V NECK CARDIGAN (brown and pale yellow sandy color) as thats all I wore to high school:SUMMER:LIME GREEN/SOFT YELLOWS/MEDIUM PINKS/WHITES/SHADES OF LIGHT OR MEDIUM BLUES ALPACA (pull over or button fronts) CARDIGANS with the lighter color pants (straight legs but FLARE legs by 1971/74) in summer then DEEPER/DARKER COLORS in fall/winter:and thats how ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DRESSED (all spiffyed up and accepted every where and sitting on all those stoops around the school as WE all looked presentable and no home owners ever told us to please move from the stoop!!!!!) They really liked those FASHIONS on the young men/ladies back then****** In winter the IN STYLE was a fur type coat or with a FUR TYPE COLLAR /SUEDE/CRUSHED SUEDE/WESTERN CUORDOROY STYLE* Mention ALPACA STICH or STICH COLLAR SHIRTS (irredecent shine of stiching around collars) and the fashion store owners RUN FOR COVER!!!!! And the shoes for men:DARK PINE GREEN/DEEP DARK BLUES/DEEP COFFEE BROWN/BLACK (deeper or medium GREY in middle of black shoes)/DEEP BURGANDY/DEEP ORANGS RUST for fall/winter and of course for summer:WHITE/PALE YELLOWISH/LIGHT MEDIUM BLUES&GREENS/TANS:WE SURE WERE FASHION PLATES and not bad making $34.55 a week for about 44 hours with NICKLES AND DIMES TAKEN OUT FOR TAXES PLUS LESS THAN 50 CENTS A DAY CARFARE TO GET TO SCHOOL/JOB SITE AFTER SCHOOL but at 15 years of age you could not work a job where a MACHINE FOR CUTTING ANYTHING WAS PRESENT!!
05:10 The WTC under construction The engineering that went into the construction of these buildings was UNREAL. Sadly only there for 28 Years ..Soon they are going to have been gone longer than they were there.
Mike, thank you very much for this comment! I was looking at these country scene many times trying to get out, where it was shot, but never got a hang on it. I guess you are right. My Father can't remember, but I guess it was on his trip to Caterpillar in Lafayette. So Warren OH would be very reasonable.
That was the Real New York! I found these MAN ON THE STREET videos from NYC in the 90’s - This guy JERRY RIO is very funny conducting interesting outrageous interviews on the city streets. Very sarcastic New Yorkers. Like a 1990’s time capsule - Humorous observations and sociological exploration - I loved Rio’s tours of the many pop & trash culture landmarks that are gone forever.

I'm producing a student film documentary and I would love to be able to use some of the footage from this archive video you uploaded. This footage provides a great feel of what life was like in NYC during the 70's and I would love to be able to use some of it with your permission of course. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thank you.
Hi Peter, This footage is really cool! I've got a a few vid's up with my song "New York City". I'm going to put together a classic one with older footage. Can I use a little of your stuff? I'll give you credits etc Thanks Nicky
@@peettheengineer Hi Peter! Nice video. I've been on the hunt to find some stock footage for my film. Would it ok, to use a few parts. Mostly of the crowds? Let me know thank you!!
+Wilson Calle correct. we still have the camera. Yes, it does not have audio. If you want to have audio, than you have to take it seperately. For synchronisation with the movie you used the old traditional clapperboard.
+Wilson Calle Not a video camera. This was shot on 8mm film, which is the smallest gauge of film they made. The kind in theatres is 35mm to 70mm. You would have to take it to the drugstore, and they would send it away to be developed. It would be projected at a screen. Later, they developed what was called a "telecine", which was basically a video camera that was used to record the projected film. this allowed movies that you would normally see in a theatre, to be watched on your TV at home. Anyway, Video camera and film cameras both record an image, but the way that they do it is totally different.
The special thing was that the film you put in your camera was a 16 mm film with perforations on both side. The clockwork operated camera recorded exposed on the first run only half of the width of the film. Once it was through you turned it around and exposed the remaining width of the film. Than you send it to the lab. They developed it, cut it in two and glued it together. So you received a double length film with perforation only on one side. The system was called 'Standard 8 mm' and is also described here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_8_mm_film
Yes they had that form of it, but Kodak sold regular 8mm film, which was loaded into the camera and you didn't have to flip it. I have sold hundreds of that type of camera, and we sometimes find original undeveloped film in the original box. A lot of cameras were "clockwork operated" . you'd wind them up like you would a toy, and a spring would operate it.
@TheYaom, I live in NYC and couldn't have said it any better. Passing by a Starbucks window and seeing at least 5 asses in a row hanging out of low-cut pants-and these are supposedly educated women that should know better. And don't get me started with the gangster rap mentality a lot of people have bought into...

There's a bit of spookiness to this for some reason. I think if you cut this video in with scenes from crime scene, it would meld quite nicely.
People still have class in the 70s because people dressed more elegantly and the city was much more beautiful back then than now!

What part of New York City was that, where the cows were grazing in the farm field?
2indulgent I would guess that this part of the film was shot in Ohio, the gas station is a Sohio station which was called Boron outside of Ohio.

Can I use a little of your stuff?
I'll give you credits etc
Thanks Nicky
very good just to think that elvis jimi hendrix and jim morrison were still performing.
...... and John Lennon was about to move to New York, and Steve Prefontaine had just started running, and Steve McQueen was the King Of Cool.
@@gary1961 They were interesting times indeed.
hi peter, i've been looking for some stock footage of nyc to use in a film i'm making. are you ok with releasing the rights? Thanks!
Hello Peter, The film is very nice. I am creating a video art and I would love to use some fragment. Would it be possible? Thank you very much!
Ok, I give you the permission to use it. Sorry no other resolutions available.
@@peettheengineer Hi Peter! Nice video. I've been on the hunt to find some stock footage for my film. Would it ok, to use a few parts. Mostly of the crowds? Let me know thank you!!
This is Classic Manhattan LONG LIVE NYC!
WTC construction - priceless. I can't believe those bastards tore them down, let alone killing thousands of people...
Bella Abzug. She was such a NY blabbermouth. I'll never forget her.
New york city street signs were yellow back then
In that time the video camera don't have an audio or what.
+Wilson Calle correct. we still have the camera. Yes, it does not have audio. If you want to have audio, than you have to take it seperately. For synchronisation with the movie you used the old traditional clapperboard.
+Wilson Calle Not a video camera. This was shot on 8mm film, which is the smallest gauge of film they made. The kind in theatres is 35mm to 70mm. You would have to take it to the drugstore, and they would send it away to be developed. It would be projected at a screen. Later, they developed what was called a "telecine", which was basically a video camera that was used to record the projected film. this allowed movies that you would normally see in a theatre, to be watched on your TV at home. Anyway, Video camera and film cameras both record an image, but the way that they do it is totally different.
The special thing was that the film you put in your camera was a 16 mm film with perforations on both side. The clockwork operated camera recorded exposed on the first run only half of the width of the film. Once it was through you turned it around and exposed the remaining width of the film. Than you send it to the lab. They developed it, cut it in two and glued it together. So you received a double length film with perforation only on one side. The system was called 'Standard 8 mm' and is also described here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_8_mm_film
Yes they had that form of it, but Kodak sold regular 8mm film, which was loaded into the camera and you didn't have to flip it. I have sold hundreds of that type of camera, and we sometimes find original undeveloped film in the original box. A lot of cameras were "clockwork operated" . you'd wind them up like you would a toy, and a spring would operate it.
Kodak sold actually both types: Standard 8 mm is the system I describe and we used, Super 8 is yours.

When NY was a great place to live under Ed Cauch.
Insert the All in the family theme song hear.
@TheYaom, I live in NYC and couldn't have said it any better. Passing by a Starbucks window and seeing at least 5 asses in a row hanging out of low-cut pants-and these are supposedly educated women that should know better. And don't get me started with the gangster rap mentality a lot of people have bought into...
