The photo at 1:38 taken at 10th and Walnut shows a Buick car of the 1950s in the left hand picture. Thanks so much for these amazing contrast photo's well done!
@@jenniferboyle2865 I guess, being European, I don’t understand that 300 years is historic. America’s historical marvels are geological and of an indigenous nature. Having said that, it’s an awesome country full of positive, hard working people. ❤️🇺🇸
@@Whippy99 A building does not have to be 300 years old to be historic, I’m from the UK and we have plenty of buildings of historic interest. Some only built in 1920 and 30s. I think you’re getting confused with what historic means. We have a charity called the National Trust that looks after these buildings but sadly a lot still got pulled down especially in the 70s.
The picture comparison is awesome but the 2011 Japan really stood out for because it shows in my life time what a Tsunami 🌊 can do! What a scary beautiful photo of resilience! Thank you 🙏🏽 and I love the old school jazz🎙️🎷🎸🎹🎼
Just what I thought! I don’t know much if anything about NYC but I do know about the old Penn Station! The only thing I know about it is when my son and I took my first and still only train ride from Albany to NYC the last year of the old Yankee Stadium. Penn Station was really ugly!
Yes, I saw the Buick too, it cannot be earlier, the Buick is a 1951 or 52. It could be later but I doubt later than 53/54, the Buick looks kind of new.
Considering the Coca-Cola building in LA, all kidding aside I was expecting to see at least a remnant of a homeless encampment 😮. All in all a great collection as always. I liked the WW1 trench photo most of all 🙂
The Kansas city photo near the beginning looks like it was taken between 1935 to late fifties just going by the style of clothing that the people are wearing , so as almost 90 down to seventy years ago the original photo was taken .
The New York in 1957 & 2021 photo description is inaccurate. That girl is from the 1970s. The clothes and hairstyle are very wrong for 1957. And the Los Angeles Coca-Cola building one is mislabeled because those style of traffic lights didn't show up until later.
I am afraid you are wrong about the Bristol pictures. The new is the corner of Colston Street. The old no longer exists and was over a mile away. I used to buy my Dinkey toys in a shop in the old photo corner .. Bristolian.
Not sure if I am alone in my thoughts, but that first tower, my first thought was "when they rebuilt it, they didnt even try to make it like the original....." I mean, its "mostly" the same. But some key things are noticeably missing as well. But then again, how old is the tower? 500-800 years old? At what point in history should my mind place an attachment to in regards to that building. Its likely had many faces over the centuries, my silly ideas of how it should look based on a 100 year old picture are definitely not the entire story that the building has to tell. Its literally a snapshot in my mind. Does anyone else have a hard time seeing pictures that only show a fraction of the buildings life, but yet still think "why cant it be like it was supposed to be"......when all we are seeing is a picture of it after centuries of it enduring many, many things? I know its silly. I am thinking too much about it. Much better the buildings be preserved, I guess its just my inability to accept the passage of time, maybe?
The El Tovar Hotel was where Clark Griswold realized he lost his wallet and stole all the money out of the cash register before taking off without paying the bill.
AS A FORMER OCCUPANT OF BRISTOL, THAT PHOTO IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS, HOW THE HELL , HORSE DRAWN CARTS GOT UP--OR DOWN THAT COBBLED HILL, MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD COLAPSE IF SOMEONE SNEEZED.
We know Germany had its fair share of Bombing in W.W.2 , I think its good to see some of these building were saved The Bridge in this film aspesely, & the Building in Poland was nearly flatend in W.W.2 The building now looking Good all credit to the peaple of Poland, 😂
The Steep St and Griffon Pub (Bristol) then & now is NOT correct, shows two differing locations, several yards apart. Please do some homework before simply assuming, thank you.
4:42 -- that's Emerson's house. Alcott's is next house over to the left. Unless of course the Alcotts owned Emerson's place a some time, in which case, never mind...
So many before and after where there were beautiful old buildings, and they’re not there anymore. Some replaced with so called modern buildings and others with nothing there at all! 😮 didn’t like this at all.
@@leftpastsaturn67 no there's even more ice. And the environment always changes. Thats normal. And most things that are happening now is man made. (Cloud seeding etc.)
I just love the. Music playing in the video. I could listen to that kind of music all night and day. The pictures were great too.
Me too, I was going to post a comment about the music, when I saw someone had beaten me to it!
This computer blues on an endless loop is the purest nightmare . For me as a musician this is unbearable !
The music is haunting and I love it!
What happened to Architecture? There's hardly a single modern building that can hold a candle to ones from the past.
Demoralization.
Fascinating. Always appreciate it when the photographer makes the effort to try and take the picture from the same spot as the original.
That music is jamming!!!
you can see a lot of change in the pictures, but im not sure i would call it "progress".lol
Yeah, sadly you can see the devolution in some places
You are right. Changes are not always progress.
Enjoyed the photos and the music

Ice always melts it even melted in the ice age. That is how we got Oceans and Seas etc.
4:29. How weird! The old building now seems to be under cover! Love these before and after photos! 😊
I noticed that myself, in the first photo it's completely outdoors and in the second it looks like it's in some kind of a shopping mall almost?
@@sanddabz5635 I know!! Certainly evolved! 🤣
I find it sad that a lot of historic buildings in America have gone.
Historic?
@@Whippy99 Buildings of Historical interest, Historic.

@@jenniferboyle2865 I understand what you are saying, but I live near Portsmouth. Anything under 200 years old is not historic.
Wow, I love this! Thank you!!❤
You're welcome!
Poland seems to be the only Country that rebuilt as close to the original buildings as was possible.
The new world is a pale and disappointing reflection of the old. (in most cases)
In just about every picture the modern picture showed decline.
5:36 What the hell happened in Kansas city !?
It went poof!.......... I'm out of here?
Two different locations.
The picture comparison is awesome but the 2011 Japan really stood out for because it shows in my life time what a Tsunami 🌊 can do! What a scary beautiful photo of resilience! Thank you 🙏🏽 and I love the old school jazz🎙️🎷🎸🎹🎼
Main Street became surplus to requirement once suburbs and shopping malls started.
Looks like it was leveled.
Good video, good blues. 👍
The picture of Oxford looks like you've just colourised the original. Everything is still the same, including the tree. 👍
Great video. 👏👍
Wonderful! I love the music-especially the bass!!
Thank-you for confirming what I suspected. The buildings behind looked different as did the gradient.
8:30 so nice they got rid of those pesky old buildings.
I really hate when the end of a video is covered with ads for more videos.
Most of the ‘after’ look much better
Color makes a lot of difference
10.28: Now that was a street corner!!
7:37 Incredibly even the tree in the centre of shot is around the same size and shape.
Time has moved forward; architecture has done the reverse.
Kansas City - years unknown, but the exact times are known.
I'm still mad that the old Penn Station was razed and replaced with that eyesore!
Just what I thought! I don’t know much if anything about NYC but I do know about the old Penn Station! The only thing I know about it is when my son and I took my first and still only train ride from Albany to NYC the last year of the old Yankee Stadium. Penn Station was really ugly!
well they really downgraded that Elbbrucke bridge in germany
It's like time stood still for the Coca Cola building in Los Angeles @ 2:42. Even the trees are the same exact height. 🙂
odd, the older bristol street corner looks more like the corner of saddler street in Durham
What happened to Kansas City? They nuke it or something?
It's not the same location in the two photos.
6:30 The Hill Walley from Back to the Future was much nicer
So many building gems have been replace and completely destroyed/wiped out in the U.S. Europe treasures its architectural history.
At 1:43 Kansas City years unknown there is a clue. The Buick on the left is from the very early 1950's.
Yes, I saw the Buick too, it cannot be earlier, the Buick is a 1951 or 52. It could be later but I doubt later than 53/54, the Buick looks kind of new.

0:06 "a German city" is Freiburg im Breigau (Martinstor)
the very first picture is the beautiful city of Freiburg im Breisgau, the entry to the black forest.
It's the Kaiser-Joseph-Straße with the Martinstor
Sad evidence that culture, heritage, and soul have been receding as fast as the glaciers

"Date unknown" Kansas city pic looks like a 1948 Oldsmobile maybe. Any care experts out there? I think that's an old police call box also.
It's a 1950/51 Buick Roadmaster.

In most cases I prefer the old buildings.... Dresden is Churchills shame and a war crime.... great photos thank you

No it’s the people luv
No people do
Sky scrapers also. The two Manhatten images are awful. They look like mazes for a rat race.
Some examples of tragic city planning and great preservation. 5:36 is a disgrace. I guess they figured the future was in suburban malls?

8.38 : Random neighborhood in Brooklyn looks more like 1926 instead of '16 (those cars are from the '20's)
