1939 New York in HD Color - Looks Like Filmed Yesterday!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^​

That was because the CIA/KGB took over fully in America in the late 1980s', probably around 1988, 1989.

That's when America was about 90% dead, now with Obama its 100% dead, and this only took 80+ years since that Communist Infiltrator FDR (1933) came in as President...

No tats, no fats, no reality TV wannabees.

Difference between then and now, people had genuine self-respect and not just ego.

They had real job prospects and hope for the future.

Families were valued not appearing in Jerry Springer. Women were valued as homemakers. Men took responsibly as fathers.

Government was just big enough to organize and help but not so behemoth to oppress.

Warsaw 1939:

Oh I love that video.

So cool.

I love how crazy the traffic was.

I guess it was a good tard filtering process though.

Holy shit you idiots talking about the 'good old days' born in the 70's and 80's... Shut the fuck up

The only significant change is technology from that era.. The video was shit in 1939, so none of it should be nostalgic.

Some really stupid people trying to convince everyone they lived in a great period of time.

If you're not useless, sadly most Americans are, this is the best time to be alive. Hands down.

I wonder if NYC smelled like piss and garbage back then like it does now.

That's what I'm talking about...pride in being a human being. Nowdays, people acting like human life isn't worth that much. That's one of the TPTB wins, to make us think we ain't worth.

I know the Romano's material about the World's Fair ("The World of Tomorrow"). The Romano's stuff is a historic jewel. That's uncredible, Summer of 1939, the WWII hadn't begun yet! The Spanish Civil War was finished just some few months ago. Flash Gordon and Superman were then big new sensations... And the megahit was "Gone with the Wind"!

To watch these fragments of life & color from a relatively distant past is simply amazing.

He must be. What a nimwit. His mind is so narrow. You don't have to be from that time to appreciate it.

My mother starched and ironed all of our clothes. There were no malls in the late 50's and early 60's, so we had to drive almost an hour to shop on Saturdays in downtown Pittsburgh. I had to wear a good dress(no pants) with white gloves, polished shoes and all. We shopped in Joseph Hornes, Gimbels, Kaufmann's, Sears, Montgomery Ward, etc. multistory dept. stores. When we got home, there was a black ring around our collars and soot from the coal furnaces and the steel mill exhaust. Those were the days.

1956 Grooming Essentials for women..

Heh you were born in 1970....I was a high school freshman in 1970
:-)

Do it!!

You (and your kiddo's) will not ever regret it. Wait too late and you certainly will.

Pina colads 5 cents !

Here is London in 1920

I always think about that when I see these old films...
We're next!

I think I know what "trimming" the lady giving the lecture about meant. She meant really "the trim"! If you get my drift??

This. Sometimes I catch myself pining for a simpler time. But look at the reality of growing up in the 30's/40's, and even before. Diseases like Tuberculosis and Polio were real threats and randomly struck. I can still remember my Mom talking about her fears of catching Polio when they would go to the community pool or out to eat, and this was during the 1950's. And almost every city in the USA has a crumbling old TB asylum where people lived out their dwindling days suffering from an untreatable disease. The cure then for TB? It was rest, sunlight, nutrition and hoping some quack MD didn't want to perform some experimental surgery on your lungs. Now TB is treated with Rifampin, unless your Sh*t out of luck and get an antibiotic resistant strain.

Berlin, 1936

You first!!!! You graduated when I was born..


j/k

i'd like to do that with our super 8mm film but it is too expensive.

me too. I think oh, this guy is dead now. Why?

From the Romano Archives. Scenes of the Spanish Civil War and Franco's victory...

Those little boys playing in the fountains would be in their eightys by now at least

Most of them used tobacco...

Brainwashed by history revisionist aren't you? And now you are one of them. My grandmother wasn't in the house segregated when she worked in a ordnance plant and then ran her own cafe for 35 years after the war. My own mother was one of the fist female peace officers in Kentucky[deputy constable civil process job but still not in the home quiet as you claim}Oh and if you want to get into the plight of blacks then remember far more blacks owned their own business and home back then,more far two parent homes and the church{whatever you think about religion} was central to the black community and instilled moral values and decency. It was better in everyone way even during the harshest times. Communities really did rally together and respect and value one another but go ahead believe and spout you BS history revisionism. Tell your lies and try and sell it.It's what you people do.
