im from wisconsin but my dad was born n raised at dbq,in late 70s are family did all of are shopping at dbq, one thing i will always miss is the fountain in the center of kenedy mall
Just saw this posted on Facebook, LOVE it...please do more...I've always marveled at how different our community is today from how it was in history...
This is really cool to see the dubuque my grandparents grew up in, and as someone who has spent time in the shelter its really cool to see the old city mission and the info board for it to compare it to how it is now! For example now days its 8:30-10am for breakfast, lunch 11-12pm and supper 5-6:30pm and u have to be inside at 11pm now instead of 8:30, just cool to see history and how times change
I was born and raised in Dubuque as was my mom. She was 10 years old in 1940. Times looked pretty tough as the country was still recovering from the Great Depression. Very interesting.
@@jogmas12 nope. As soon as a democrat mayor came in and wanted to make it more "diverse" its nothing like it used to be. Shootings all the time and its just one big 💩 hole like all democrat run cities and states. I wish they would all leave. Its still a beautiful town though.
Fascinating! Never pictured the city being so cruddy in parts. Was the photographer a Dubuquer or one of those people working for the government to record poverty?
This is so true. We’re told these are the people (or the sons of the people) who built the amazing buildings in Dubuque in the late 1800’s. By the 1930’s it’s all in shambles. The canal photo is what does it for me
For real. I wish it would go back to the way it was before that idiot mayor wanted to make it more "diverse" and welcomed all the shootings here. I wish they never took down everything they did on Dodge as well. Its sad what they've turned Dubuque into.
My parents certainly weren't rich...the neighborhood my parents owned a home in from 1964 to 2020 is still perfectly safe. My Dad worked at the Dubuque Pack from 1952 to 1992 when he retired.
Worked in Dyersville in 93 and 94. Rebuilt the old Amoco Terminal. Lived on Jackson. What a great town and people. Was welcomed like a long lost son.
Is it safe for women and kids in Dubuque now!?
Sara : yes for sure I live in Dubuque now and I like it. However, I just move to Dubuque last year and I can say it good county
@@sara4557 what kind of retarded question is that? 😂 no there's an evil boogeyman that resides here that eats women and children
I love old pictures so much, I live in Wisconsin but just 20 minutes away from Dubuque. Its the main town we go to for groceries and to do stuff lol

Beautifully raw photos.

I love visiting Dubuque. I wish I could live there.
Downtown area is just all ghetto
@@buster1173how and please specify?
Margie We can't complain now.
0:25 That looks like where Jubeck’s is today.
Good video, are these photos available to the public?
Yes they are Gary.
Saw people I knew, including some relatives. Life looked so stark in black and white.
i think there is only one street section in dubuque with the red brick cobblestonthats pretty rare to see
Used to be a great place to live.
What happened? Is it still not Republican?
@@jogmas12 nope. As soon as a democrat mayor came in and wanted to make it more "diverse" its nothing like it used to be. Shootings all the time and its just one big 💩 hole like all democrat run cities and states. I wish they would all leave. Its still a beautiful town though.

As powerful as Dorthea Lange's iconic photograghy.
Fascinating! Never pictured the city being so cruddy in parts. Was the photographer a Dubuquer or one of those people working for the government to record poverty?
as someone who lives there, some parts are just old
A much better time than today thats for sure
How so?
As painful as these images are, I'd love for anyone to contribute memories - beautiful or otherise - to this montage.
I would love for a comment related to memories of Dubuque to be established! Is anyone else interested?
I'm from Dubuque, but I don't go quite that far back (born in '67, by which time a lot of things had changed, I'd imagine.)
This city's clearly is from another civilization. Research tartaria Jon Levi

I’m in dubuqe
40 or 60 years ago dubuque had alot of cigar shops and pool halls
However Dubuque is a joke...nothing but crime not a town to feel safe in unless your rich and can afford living out in the subdivisions
CORNDOG Extreme lol I feel safer in the millwork or lower main then I do in the subdivisions
if you really think dubuque is that bad try going to literally any other city man... appreciate what you have before its gone.
