Philadelphia (1960s)

[@montaeharris3464]

As a millennials this fascinates me to see my city in my grandparents time when they were alive and well with family and jobs

[@transitdude3352]

The rivers were so filthy back then! Remember those pretzels being spread with mustard like that? Memories!

[@jeromelombardo6053]

I saw Nan Duskin on Walnut Street wow that was an amazing place to shop. I miss the old Philly.

[@alancutler6453]

Grew up in Philadelphia and lived in Center City in the 60s.

[@jamesodom4980]

Great footage!
Everyone is looking down at their phones... I mean newspapers.

[@abdullatiif]

The Smart Phone = Alien newspaper

[@mariusmatei2946]

Right, if there weren't the phones, there were the newspapers; but then, just like now, everyone was looking down.

[@Dablkwid0w2008]

I wasn't born yet but I just want to see how the city looked thru my parents eyes

Loved those pretzels with Gudens mustard heavy on top. Pretzel men with their carts would come down the streets of South Philly every day.

[@tedlahm5740]

That pretzel was 5 cents each. the picture was two of them together.

[@beboplady1542]

Just found this video. At the 23 second mark when the video first starts there is a man that looks exactly like Jack Webb (Sgt. Joe Friday) from Dragnet. Maybe its him?

[@luislaplume8261]

No it's not him!

[@cwolf19380]

It does look a bit like him!

[@bogey19018]

Now look at it.

[@NeonRandy]

Seems like just the right amount of diversity.

[@Flerg3]

Not one person doing the dope lean.

[@Dalt21]

Because they were put in mental institutions back then

[@PalmBeachDog]

Holy smokes! I was in Philadelphia for a wedding recently and I’ll tell you it didn’t look anything like this video that’s for sure!😢

[@JokersAce0]

Crazy how it looks exactly like it does today.

[@johnny1963ify]

Except the people are darker.

[@JokersAce0]

John Miller black people were already there ya ditz, and the areas they showed in this video have the exact same demographic

Too much mustard on that pretzel.

[@rosannegailey9907]

This film is strange, no cohesion.

[@allstar72143]

Where are the brown people????

[@creolelady4096]

I am 67 back then, they didn't have us too much on film. Unless the police were mistreating us. Then we would make the news. I can remember so much growing up as a child.

[@liamsandal6360]

Who the hell cares? Do you watch videos of the Harlem Renaissance and say, "Where are all the white people?" Piss off.

[@DJ-tg3lr]

​@creolelady4096 hi what was it like for you and your family during that time period. I'm really curious if you dont mind my asking.
