- 1930s USA - Real Street Scenes of Vintage America - Colorized
For most of us, the real vintage footage in this video is only known as stories from our ancestors. If you're lucky enough and have aged well, you might recall the streets of the 1930s in the USA from your youth.
The streets were far less bustling than they are today, and buildings, cars, and people had a different look. The colorized footage brings these scenes to life, allowing you to truly imagine what the streets must have been like back then.
Are you ready to step into a time machine? As soon as you watch this video, you'll find yourself transported to the 1930s in America in no time.
It's truly remarkable how we can now breathe life into old black and white photos by colorizing them - even video footage. Just for you, we've curated the finest visual material that captures the authentic look and feel of the streets, homes, buildings, and automobiles in 1930s America. This video contains footage from famous photographers from the 1930s like: Berenice Abbott, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Arthur Rothstein, Marion Post Wolcott and Leslie Jones.
Join us on a journey to the 1930s in the United States and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that time!

Who did it work for, skippy? I'd like to ask the Black and Hispanic and Queer people from this era how well the "law" worked for them
🎉
Where is this footage originally from?
Just amazing. Can't believe that this is all gone. The cars, the dresses, all this cool stuff that matched so perfectly together. Breathtaking
I've been to the mall at Tanforan (which replaced the old track) many times since the 1970s.
Masons don't let anything hang around too long.
Great grandma was a hottie! Referencing the beach ⛱️ pictures. I'm not sure any of those and the pictures are you alive now. Happy 100th plus birthday 🎂 to them. Time flies.
@@donavonmacallister3101 What about Schreiners. I believe one has to be a Mason before becoming a Schreiner?
@@MichaelDamianPHD What did?
My Grandmother was born in 1930 and is still going strong. I can't even begin to believe the changes she's seen in her lifetime.
Born at the outset of the Great Depression, and old enough to remember Pearl Harbor attack (Dec 1941), some call it the "silent generation," but she experienced more history before her 20th birthday than many had in a lifetime. Cherish every moment.
Ask her to write it all down.
В то время ещё небыло толстых людей. Все стройные. Привет из России.

Это же годы великой депрессии. И пусть Вас не вводят в заблуждения красочные кадры, которые здесь продемонстрированы. Это кино - всего лишь красочная витрина, а на самом деле все было гораздо прозаичнее и печальнее: толпы голодных, громадные очереди за бесплатным супом, масса безработных. Тогда от голода в США умерло по подсчетам самих же американцев около 6 000 000 человек!
Lucky her to see the Great Depression, radio and television, WW2, nuclear cold war, putting men on the moon, onset of fast food, many more wars, Mr Ed, Playboy and Penthouse, the home computer, pop-up ads on the internet, electric cars, cell phones, crypto currency and of course TH-cam.
This is impressive, amazing! This makes me kind of sad at the same time, people back then were so classy. We'll never see large crowds of people nicely dressed like that ever again.
I think that way sometimes and then remember there were people from that time who didn't see the fashion as nice as we do now. People are more lax on their attire and sometimes downright nasty. but then again, we live in a more capitalized time where even our clothes are manufactured and not tailored, limiting the average joe's choices. classy makeup is hard to find bc thats all made in a factory instead of in front of the customer for accurate match and color use. things are cheaply made and wear down quicker. it takes a lot of time and money to be well kept and for your things to be, especially since the economy went down and women can no longer stay home to focus on such things. the sewing that kept clothes lasting and attentive washing, the thought that goes into putting the family's wardrobe together, heck even the time it takes to go to salons. in an attempt to make money, everything got cheaper. didnt mean to write a novel but i think about it often and my opinion is that its sad that living like they did back then isnt a very accessible choice
Well said. Plus, the USA is huge. Here in Florida, you have to be insane to wear a suit all the time. People ridicule us for being tacky, but that is simply function over form. This place only became comfortably habitable around the early 20th century when A/C became prevalent, although I still love it here in the early 21st.@@sammy2189
There were no blacks.
Also no antibiotics or cars that worked well. But I can see you have your racism priorities straight haha
Yep the only people who get to dress nice and eat non GMO food without chemicals are the "royals" and "globalist elite"......Rothschilds, Rockefellers, etc. They basically stole everything out from under us and are slowly enslaving us all.
I have to pause on every scene just to absorb every face, every shop window, every car and street and tiny detail. This is absolutely priceless, a window through time to a completely different planet. Life seemed so much, healthier back then, even though in many cases it wasn't.
make america great again
Our cities were very beautiful back then. The architecture, the art, even the advertising. Everything was so thoughtfully made. I look at pictures of my city from 100 years ago and it looked nothing like it does today, it was really cool looking. The men that built those buildings were true craftsmen.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Do you know anything about Communists and what they do to nations in order to wreck them and take full control? One of the things they do is make everything ugly- art, architecture, fashion, etc. This is in addition to the attempted destruction of nuclear families, tight nit communities, nations/countries, pit women and men against each other, try to make people think there is no sex/gender. Absolute inversion of everything natural and good.
Building construction before modern codes and techniques was a deadly and inefficient affair that often led to shoddy construction with a pretty facade
The thing always stands out to me when I see photos from this era is how much nicer people dressed than today. Also, people were more slender.
Hello. Life before ultra processed food and fashion, eh.
@@martinfisher3883 yeah, but life before antibiotics and penicilin too..
And surprisingly, ate more calories. The reason they were so slender? They were outside! They weren't on computers or phones, did more mannual labor and walked to places. The other thing was that the food supply chain hadn't been poisoned with artificial this and that, enriched with synthetic products or flooded with fillers of hydrogenized soy, gluten and topped off with high fructose corn syrup!
@@kalinkaata Hi. Absolutely. Antibiotics have saved my mysery more than once as have ultra processed food. Also clothes are my artform. I'm allergic to penicillin, though. I guess my point can aline with yours to say: For every high there is a low, for every yes there is a no.
I guess for each of us it's a choice of ' At what price, convenience'? It was a great little montage, though.
@@forapps9364 Hi. Dead right. For me it's become a battle of the simple things vs convenience. Computer /play out? Computer/play out? Hmmm. Play out. Save time, have a ready meal.... Be bored longer or spend the day prepping a meal and get fed on many levels.
Have a great day.
The city streets are soo clean and spotless.
I think street sweepers were more common. Yes so clean.
Taxes paid for city services back then, not bloated cop pensions and tax breaks for booming boutique stores and areas.
Have not seen one come down my Street in years
Clean = no immigration
@@lorraineb.4698 no.. people werent fuckin pigs like today
Amazing walk back in time. Felt so fresh and wholesome. Now it´s trash, tents and trouble.
Agreed, including the Government!
Real people. No tattoos, no botox, no plastic surgery, everybody just looks great and natural.
Agreed. In fact, the only un-natural thing is turning an otherwise good film into a silly cartoon.

When I watch videos like this, it becomes quite obvious that our best days are behind us.
sadly i must agree. and i'm afraid it will get worse b4 it gets better.
100 years from now, people will watch us in 2123 and say 2023 were the good old days. AI taking over and watch the population decrease. Everyone replaced by robots.
@@dwaynecarroll6098 You'll probably come running back once you see that the Ireland government is no longer working on behalf of the Irish. They're forcing 'diversity' and cultural marxism on the natives.
This was during the Depression. You have no clue what bad days are.
@@robp9746 Have you walked around an average town lately? Half the businesses out of business, homeless people all over the place, drug addicts everywhere....Hell I'm poor as hell...you can't tell me anything about being in a depression that I don't live every fucking day. So bite me robp9746
I am only 63, so was a child of the sixties. This is absolutely fabulous work. My interests take me back earlier, so this is precious. Thanks.
63 lol...74 here,you kids today
I'm only 59 dad.
I'm also 63, and have loved old things and antiques since I was a young boy. I would hate to be young these days....
Same as. I belong to a 1940s society and still see this every day and it is very precious. My parents dont understand why I want to live my life like they did in their childhoods.
I'm also 63 and an American history buff.
wow, the cars were such works of art.
Really were, unfortunately pedestrian health and safety ruined that over the decades.
Cars were death machines back then with no security system in place. They are only nice to look at but not better.
If only we could go back in time with the time machine, how wonderful it might be.
Say what you want but the amount of decay in this country from then until now is astonishing. Notice how clean most of the streets were and how people took some pride in the way they dressed?
And no gang graffiti.
@@lilajagears8317 No gangs? This was literally the pinnacle of organized crime in America. Not to mention ethnic gang wars.
@@texaswunderkind There is a difference between org. crime and street gangs. I live in L.A. which has more street gangs than any other city in the U.S.
Today the organized crime has moved up to politics and corporations. It is the beginning of the end for society
In 1930s, any photo taken would be a photo of "good-clean" places. This is not the reality of life at the time.
It's crazy to see city streets scenes, (the commerce, downtown stores open, the way people were dressed, the cleanliness and lack of garbage everywhere) in the middle of the Great Depression that look way better than they do now.
Well I wouldn't want to be a worker in these times. Trump followers would say the USA was cleaner and above all whiter!
Saw plenty of garbage in the streets and just because people look clean in touched up photos doesn't mean they were clean in real life.
but you try to avoid black areas to live in right?!

What happened to us?
The grocery store vintage style is a charming and nostalgic way of shopping that I admire very much. I wish I could create a similar experience in the modern world, where everything is fast and digital. I think it would be wonderful to have a place where people can browse through fresh and local products, chat with friendly staff, and enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a small and cozy store. I have a dream of opening such a store someday, and I hope to share my passion for the grocery store vintage style with others.
I share your desire. Make America beautiful again.
It's called a grocery store, you too can go to one and walk around inside today. lol
The clothes - So much style. I love it
Everybody dressed up to go out…love that…can’t remember the last time i dressed up.
They had a lot of free time on their hands.lol
In the 60’s when we would go on family trips, the large cities I was taken too still had a lot of the look and feeling of the 30’s.
urban renewal movement hadn’t hit yet
Skid Row looks gorgeous.
...they had HAIR Metal back then??
LOL
Simply mesmerizing. It's unbelievable that it's all disappeared. The vehicles, the garments, every bit of this fantastic array that harmonized flawlessly. Absolutely stunning 🌟
The photos are beautiful. I don't know why but when I see old photos like these I feel very nostalgic, which is strange because they're well before my time.
What we wish America could be...
Exactly what I thought as I watched the video! The feeling of nostalgia hit me too. The music definitely helped. The combination is great. I was born in 1979 but I always did feel a sort of nostalgia for the 1930s to 1950s, when I would see pictures of drive in movie theaters, diners, cafes, etc. Even at the age of 8, when I watched *The Sting,* i always felt deep nostalgia, especially with the song from that movie. 😊
not strange really,u lived that era.v have many births.
@@Northanteusя тоже родился в 1979 году!😊
@@demri123 What it would still be if the "FED" tribe of foreign imposters had not been allowed to enter our country and take over our money system.
very well dressed folks. bring this back!!!
The woman in the thumbnail is like an accurate description of America at that time. So beautiful
Now we get overweight diversity and inclusion.

Americans, you've fucked up your country. 1930-1950 is the real America. America 2024 is a rainbow of globalists
Every time we get the precious opportunity to watch these wonderful videos we have the feeling to be travelling by a time machine, offering insight into a deep past. Great experience.
Back when everyone got dressed up just for the day and were in bed by 10:00 !
The peak of aesthetics has been at this time.
Thank you for this.I love looking back at life in this era. It's before my time but not by a whole lot. It's so very different than it is today. The colorization and the music is excellent.
Beautiful images... images of a time when most of the people; were good people!
Nah , way to white , safe and racist. Its much better now.
When I watch these it makes me think of my great grandmother and grandparents. This was just everyday life for them at the time.
I have only memories of these times in Black and White so it was amazing to see all this in color thank you so much well done.
The time of my parents' childhood. Miss them so much after seeing this.
why miss someone when they are in your heart anyway? :)
This is amazing. My grandfather used to describe the 1930s to me and to see colorized photos of what my grandfather may have seen.
I used to catch the school bus at an old store like Paul’s Place gas station in the early 1970’s. I loved working the mechanical pop chest. They were 10 cents. The creaking of the wood screen door and wood floor was awesome. Brings back great memories.
Amazing how clean and civilised everything was in those days. As a millennial who was taught in school that 1930s America was a miserable place of poverty and squalor, I'm so glad this colourised footage exists. Sad how far we've fallen.
1930s were miserable. This is a random home movie of one street in one town from one perspective on one day in one hour, and everything is abstracted from its context and meant to be viewed with nostalgic glasses. Please, do some reading
By that absurd logic, we could show you photos of the richest mansions and wealthiest areas in Somalia and you’d think that was what life is like for average people there. Google images of that and see for yourself - they look like well kept mansions in the Hollywood hills.
If that’s how America was in the 30s, imagine everywhere else, especially in countries that had to deal with the aftermath of ww1 and the Great Depression, which impacted other countries more than the US.
@@AdamsOlympia Yep lmafo these people crack me up. Glad you called it out.
Mate these videos often make working class pictures of Victorian England look nice and inviting. Don't be fooled :P They tend not to take pictures of the bad stuff.
This is so well done! Congratulations, the colour makes this pop! A few observations, this was the depression era but in general people are dressed so much better than today. At least casual dressing was so much more impressive. Good looking people looking good in spite of the era they lived in. Another thought from my family which moved between Canada and the USA like it was the same country. America & Canada were very comfortable with each other and mostly exceedingly friendly with each other. This is what is recalled in my family. Not hard to travel between the countries at all and so many interests were shared. The colour reminds us of the fact that we are looking at real people, Black & white cannot accomplish this. Thanks for this view of the now living past and the memories it evokes.
100 years from now, people will watch us in 2123 and say 2023 were the good old days. AI taking over and watch the population decrease. Everyone replaced by robots.
When you talked to people from this era (like my grandma) you appreciate how skilled people were. People largely did things for themselves. They made their own clothes, grew their own food, knew how to fix things. They had to, it was a much tougher time to live. They weren’t that far removed from the old west. My grandfather was born in 1914, so I’m sure he remembered life without cars for a brief time.
@@mplslawnguy3389 The Ford Model T was introduced in 1908 and other cars were available before then too.
@@waisinglee1509 Yes, but everyone didn't have them, it was a transition period. There were still a lot of people still using horses.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Yes, but in 1916 (your grandpa would be 2 yrs old and probably his earliest memories are from then) the US had 35 cars per 1,000 per people. That ratio is higher than people in India in 2012 which had 24.4 cars per 1,000 people and higher than people in Africa which had 33.6 cars per 1,000 people in the same year. So, in all likelihood, he would have remembered both cars and horses in his earliest years.
The seamless fusion of nostalgia and contemporary relevance in your ' video is profoundly moving, effectively conveying a powerful message of growth, resilience, and the timeless legacy of these iconic stars.
Blown away by this. So very well done. Fabulous work. It's as if I'm there walking those streets. Bravo.
Thank you ❤️🙏🏼
Wow! This is like a Time Machine!❤
Did you know even a tiktok somebody posted on your feed four seconds ago is a time machine...
My grandmother was a child during the depression. She didn't experience the cities and larger towns of the time, as she was a farm girl in Iowa, so a trip to Des Moines (which was a lot smaller then) was about as fancy as it got. She is 93 now but remembers it all and talks about it any time I ask. One thing that she told me, that has always stuck with me, is how her parents never let on to her or her siblings how bad things really were. She only really found out by accidentally overhearing her parents talking one night when she was supposed to be asleep. Her father told her mother that he had no idea how they would make it through the next month. She just says that her parents considered those problems to be "adult problems" and did everything they could to shield their children from having to worry about it. To them, it was just normal life for that time period.
"She just says that her parents considered those problems to be "adult problems" and did everything they could to shield their children from having to worry about it."
Yea as you should, sounds like she had good parents.
Same here. My British parents had conversations I was not privy to, nor should I be at a young age. I had great adoptive parents, despite their problems. I was loved, fed well, clothed, and educated. I never asked my parents for much as I knew we weren't rich even though my Dad was a skilled man, but I was still showered at Christmas even though they went out of their financial way to do so.
The 80's I think were the last decade of innocence where people still thought like their parents, without the modern diatribe of indoctrination for political gain or shameless self-promotion. Society will reap it's own negative reward in this respect, and I'll be long dead and laughing my ass off at how pathetic it becomes...and it's already sad and pathetic.
How appropriate
It's amazing how she can remember all that as someone as a 7 years old or younger at the time in the 1930s.
В каждой семье так было. Проблемы взрослых, в которые не посвящали детей. Покажите это видео бабушке.
so amazing to actually see the sights and sounds of the 1930s thank you! please showcase 1955 my birth year some time.
yep, I love watching the vintage photos and reels
It was a far better day for the USA.
Not really no
@@1WonderingApe One thing that is better now besides air bags in cars?
@@xxcelr8rs cars are way better than even in the 80's, I remember in the early 70's my electronics teacher saying how good the cars were compared to when he was a kid, the biggest single thing was when the cars went to fuel injection, they would start no problem in 10 below, before that a lot of people wouldn't shut them off so they could get to work. A tank of gas was $6
BTW, this is very, VERY cool! Thank you so much for posting this - I think it's important for people to remember these simpler times when certain aspects of society were more aesthetic and hopeful.
Thanks!!! ❤️
There were no "simpler times". Every society is complex and full of problems.
@@marcinna8553 although most societies on earth have had their complexities and problems, I remember the 60s and 70s - but sorry dude, yes, they were simpler times.
The difference is back then they didn't have social media. Back then they basically only knew what they were told. The biggest difference between then and now is that society was stable. You had your cultures and social norms and people followed them. In the modern world traditional cultures and values have all been broken down which leads to chaos. Hence the theory order out of chaos we are ruled by. The difference is because we have social media we have access to information outside of elite ruler controlled and disseminated information. This is both a good and a bad thing with pros and cons.
Those times were simpler though in the sense that you didn't have access to information we do today, you didn't have cell phones and instant communication. Yes they had their own problems and it was complex world. But the flavor and feel of it was different. Life was actually simpler and SLOWER paced for the average person. People still had traditional families back then. Relatively healthy stable nuclear families and a sense of community that hadn't yet been broken apart and replaced by big daddy government. Which honestly still is the case if you go to the right country.
For the poor and have nots they had it bad, but regardless of what time you are in life is going to suck for some people and be better for others. The point is for the middle class and those that have it decent, the actual life style and feel of existence is going to change depending on the times. Which is what people are talking about.
One problem is you dont know what you have until it is gone. Plenty of people have no idea how good they have it, until exposed to something worse. This is true through out human history as it is today. It is an unfortunate aspect of the human condition and experience unless something changes to end that cycle. The real problem is that we are a dumbed down slave species by design. The systems we live under are fundamentally are their core satanic and part of the problem and create a host of problems. With no easy solutions in sight. At least none society is capable of embracing any time soon or quickly. Part of the problem is going to be our systems our rulers. But also our psychology and perceptions which is flawed. Genetically speaking we are an imperfect stupid species. And I think it is design, that we were intentionally genetically dumbed down by either the gods or an alien race that did so to make us more controllable and manageable, because we used to be too smart for our own good. Which there is scientific evidence of and also coincidentally coincides with ancient myths. You see the continued dumbing down of our species every single day and year and decade though, especially recently. So it isn't such a crack pot theory. IT is literally happening in real time currently as we speak. We are living it. The only question is how far back does the dumbing down go?
@@marcinna8553
Thanks for your work and sharing. Despite the fact that I love black & white photography, these restored and colorized photos bring the past to life.
Music and time life, amazing
its amazing how our countries open borders took all this away from our future generations. We no longer share the same ideals or even language. cool video but kind of sad. Those days are long gone and never coming back.
c'est tant mieux, la société à évolué, les femmes d'aujourd'hui ont plus de droits, l'apartheid abolit, camps de concentrations interdit, le travail des enfant abolit, plus de droits pour les personnes LGBT. Quant la société gagne en liberté, il est intéressant de constater que l'on perd le costume 3 pièces, c'est comme ça, on brise les codes pré établis. si vous êtes une de ces situations que je viens de citer, je suis sure que vous êtes content de vivre dans la société d'aujourd'hui qu'a l'époque, même si elle n'est pas parfaite.

I absolutely understand the pain of you Native Americans. Those open borders allowing all the Europeans to come in, and then your way of life was gone forever.
@@ammumeme5789 The native Americans lived subsistence lives and had a life expectancy of about 20 when we include their infant death rates. It's a sad and stupid comparison only made by genuine morons.

Thanks, Linda. I just added your feedback on my list for coming videos!
Great experience...love the pictures and the soundtrack is awesome too!
Beautiful. Please never stop doing this.
Amazing time. Measured life, sympathetic and kind people. Although I did not live in those times, in my soul I yearn for this bygone time to the point of tears.
Life tends to be measured when you work for starvation wages during a depression, that is if you are lucky enough to get a job, that killed and maimed and obliterated the security of millions
You are not alone in your sentiment.
I am stunned when you look at all the pictures of the older women - and crowds of people - there are few cases of obesity. The older women in the beach scene - there figures look amazing -
no heaviness or sagging skin from weight loss or similar issues that we have today - they look in the prime of health. Yes - this was the era of the great depression but I have seen pictures of
crowds at the beach and other places up to the 1960's and almost all the people were naturally thin.
all people are natural to this day. food additives more than eating habits cause most weight gain. read ingredients on labels and you will See the main culprit.
@@suppylarue220 Back then the food processing wasn't as good as today. The safety of how food was prepared and pack wasn't well defined as it is today. The regulations of food safety wasn't as stringent as it is today!
@@lox_5017 that's not what I was talking about. today virtually all processed food contains additives which promote weight gain. food safety was already well developed.
@@lox_5017 and yet most stores still sell Coca Cola. These sugary drinks have been proven to cause autism in children. People just need to stay off fast food in general. Cancer rates are rising and they've been higher in the last 30 years than in the last 5 plus decades. We're being poisoned.
Indeed! I remember back even in the 60’s folks still looked like this. Back before corn syrup, saturated fats and various chemicals introduced into the food chain. Obese people were sights to behold in the circus freak shows in those days.
Beautiful... wonderful... Glorious days. Congrats man!
It's the music that gives those scenes life.
No, it’s the fact that there are no blacks.

Maybe it’s better to say that we did not consume so much sugar per person per year. Not to mention high fructose corn syrup. This is a fact!
Wonderful videos that bring sadness at what was and what could have been. Our civilisation has been destroyed, and on purpose.
Are you going to throw out your computer and phone then?
Ah yes, what a wonderful time to be alive. Right in the middle of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, racial segregation, etc.

@stuartmurray3995: You are absolutely correct. They are enslaving us with corporate monopolies, bankster inflation, taxes and technology.
I love old style advertisement. Hand painted signs and such. They still do it that way in Central America. I saw a man painting a store wall in Guatemala once and I'll never forget it. Meticulous. There was something serene about it. There's so much more character to it. Very charming.
Thank you for another episode of healing therapy. I wish I was born in that era where there was less trouble, war, and violence. Even the buildings and sceneries reveal the calmness of the era.
Less war? It's literally in between the two worst wars in history, and by far. Many of these say they're from 1939 and the world was most certainly not at all calm in 1939.
"There are millions like me that feel the world has gone wrong. You can feel things cracking and collapsing under your feet" - George Orwell 1939
il y avait aussi l'apartheid, et le ku klux clan qui tuait et pendait les noirs américains avec la bénédiction du shérif du compté. On voit bien , pas une seule personne de couleur sur les photos, c'est une des pire époques où on martyrisait une parti de l'humanité, et n'y parlons pas de nazisme et les camps de concentrations en Europe à cette époque. franchement je préfère voir l'avenir d'une société plus tolérant mais pas parfait, que du passé avec une humanité moins évolué du point de vue sociétale.

There are over three times as many people living in America now. So cool to see uncrowded streets. Thanks!
👊🏼❤️
Very nice and varied collection of photographs!
What always strikes me when looking at these old photos or films (here we have mostly depression-era scenes but the same thing holds true even up to the 1980's) is the preponderance of independent businesses. These days, there are almost none. Almost everything now is a part of a national chain. Homogenized.
Preponderance and Homogenized. We're duly impressed. 😅
A few corporations are buying up everything. IT's called a MONOPOLY. And when they get complete control, we are their slaves.
Amazing video 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
The music is as fubulous as the coloration is those wonderful photos! Aaaaahhhh.... the ol' days
Colorizing old photos and footage makes the past come back to life in a way that draws them much closer to us, with the realization that they are not 'some other time' but simply an _earlier_ time. A better time, where people had respect for one another (racism aside), weren't in a huge hurry to go nowhere and do nothing, and had a sense of decency that modern society lacks in spades.
When my Dad passed I colourized an old Photo of him from when he was about 11 years old with Photoshop, and also one from just before he got married to my Mom. She cried buckets when she saw it as it brings people to life. (graphic design was my employ at the time). RIP Dad/Mom.
People in better health and have more dignity than today.
@@HairOfTheDog2000 What about all the pathetic taboos now?? There are more now than in the past.
This is pathetically obvious.... Of the plethora of taboos that exist now that never did in the past, just a few include so-called appropriation - be it language, culture, etc. The taboo of patriotism, with half the country claiming the US is a terrible place, this is followed by the taboo of religion - which is now unacceptable to many - only if you're a Christian of course, Muslim or anything else you're great. There is also the gun taboo now - something never complained about before on the grand scale it is now. Even being masculine now is a taboo in society, with endless insecure liberals calling everything they don't like "toxic". I mean come on man, the list is endless....
Fantastic!! I love how the people or most of them were dress up and almost everyone had a hat. One thing thro, the printing at the bottom of the screen needs to stay on longer before panning back. By the time you read it the picture is gown.
This is a piece of art. Stunning.
Fabulous collection of images!
Notice how clean streets were
Notice how white the people were, too.
There is a direct correlation.
Today, everyone dresses like they work at the Fulton Fish Market!!
Enjoyed the visual Time Machine to a place where my grandparents roamed, worked, and played.
Wonderfully relaxing, thank you 👍
You can smell the societal innocence from back then. Wow. Magical.
I would have loved to live in the 1940's. Class, style, respect...bring it all back please!
And being sent to a war on another continent… jk, I know what you mean
OMG. It is just amazing. Thank you for sharing this experience.
That's one channel worth its name. True treasures.. Cheers from Montreal
Back then, you could sit in a restaurant with someone else and actually talk! Now, everyone yells!
Back when the world was a better place to live.
Same as now, okay for the wealthy. Absolute poverty for many. Unemployment, homelessness and malnutrition.
Yes, the Great Depression and rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. Amazing time to be alive, if you're a fascist.
@@poppypalais3108 Absolutely NOT the same as now. A hard-working person could establish a store or a company and have great success. The US had an identity, and the global powers hadn't degraded the country yet.
There will always be rich and there will always be poor, but this country is being intentionally filled with people who hate it.
Awesome video man! there something so nostalgic about the 1930s
Wow, just great to see how things were about 25 years before i got to America at 8 years. Beautiful work and music, well done.
Thanks!
Our grandfathers, authentic American people...
To be able to go back to this great times.
As a boy I still saw small town scenes like this in the 70's.
Agreed!!! I am 57 now, and I can tell you I spent my formative years on a 90-acre farm in southern Maine during mid-to-late 1970s, where it was a VERY Normal Rockwell-type of wholesome way to grow up. I wouldn't have traded that experience for anything, and we were slightly less than middle class, but we LIVED richly, as we had meat, fruits and vegetables galore, straight from the farm, so again, we LIVED richly. Our hay field doubled as a makeshift baseball field where the neighbor's boy and myself shagged fly balls until it got dark. An oval-shaped frog pond down the road doubled as an ice hockey rink where my friends and I would spend afternoons skating around playing hockey.
Not to go on and on, but the few examples I gave just doesn't happen today, where kids would organically get together to play a game of baseball, flag football, etc. Just doesn't happen, largely because of video games, social media. I truly pity kids having to live in today's society.
Take my like. My Grandma have by that time 3 or 4 years. I miss my Grandma who live one time in New York. My Grandma pass away. Greetings from Puerto Rico. 👍👍
Awesome video! One small correction, the town is called Ann Arbor not Ann Arber :)
It was cool to see what it looked like almost 100 years ago! Thanks for putting this together.
Oops, thanks! 🙏🏼
At 1:57 that woman photographer has to have nerves of steel !
She definitely had nerves of steel! In World War II Margaret Bourke-White took part in bomber missions in which one third if the planes were shot down!
Awesome thanks
Wow, just wow!
Enjoyed the old gas stations thanks for the vide
Gas was as little as $.10 a gal. or 10 for a dollar, during the "Depression"!
Thank you!

My mother and father spent the 30s in the Great Depression in Dust Bowl of Oklahoma. Nothing would grow, no rain, no crops at all. Starvation was rampant. Little kids died trying to walk to school from the dust and heat. No jobs to be had at all. No grub stake to move out abd signs every way you could go sayinh No Okies! Usually armed barricades to keep Okies out. Yeah, great time, big fun. My mom had TB has a teenager and received no treatment.
Free masons did it
incredibly difficult times for your parents
Love it thank you for sharing it
This is back in my parents day. Amazing! Like another world.
Clean, orderly and safe. How times have changed, and not for better. The decline began in the 1960s and 1970s.
No blacks.
The creation of welfare fucked this country

@@edharley7254 Segregation was alive and well back then !
Don’t fool yourselves you two racist!
Loved the video. I’m so glad you included other states besides just New York, New York, New York, all the time California comes next. There are 48 other states have diversity, culture, Christianity, wonderful people who have work to contribute to this country and invent items to help their jobs go faster or easier. I visited all 50 states and 3/4 of the Canadian provinces. I like the Boonies.
I traveled the byways and highways and see the real “Americana” of our Great Nation. Grassroots people are amazing and friendly.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your comment! 🙏
"48 other states have diversity, culture, Christianity ..."
92% Christianity and 8% diversity.
@@ColtraneTaylor It's the lack of Christianity today that has all the Chaos and violence and madness we see today, as people reject God and Christ the less God is willing to protect us and allow us to move from the almost paradise like times people had in the 30's here in this video, not to say there were not hard times but today it's different.
In Christianity there's a line you don't cross and morals to adhere to, remove these and you have no morals and cross over any lines you want causing chaos and anarchy today the likes we've never seen and as we continue to reject Christ the worse it will get as people only care about themselves and their sinful ways.
@@ColtraneTaylor as it should be, all people that are much the same get along far better in society. Diversity isn't something to be proud of, quite the opposite.

It looks so peaceful in the '30s. Good old time !
