I believe these folks in NYC looked alive since they were eating good wholesome food. Not this GMO crap and a list of other chemicals in foods today. They looked better and more on the ball mentally.

Modern day Mr Know It All must think shoppers at WalMart with their sloppy clothing, heavy bodyweight, and tattoos all over the ying yang being the norm of the day is quite exceptable.
 Quoting: WhatsItAllAbout Alfie


Alive and alert! I suppose mcdonalds didn't even exist. And everyone bought fresh food and cooked it at home. The family had a sit down meal together.

Before ADM & Monsanto fuked thing up.

Did you see the food prices?
5 lbs potatoes - 10 cents!
4 lbs lima beans - 10 cents!
2 lbs okra - 15 cents!
Cool video.

Everyone has such nostalgia for the past... Anyone remember what was going on in Europe at this time.

Also everyone looked the same, go to the financial district all the shirts will be tucked in. Not a lot of character if you ask me... Weren't blacks still at the back of the bus at this point.

Wake up people, yes it was a cool place and a cool time, but so is today and it is what you make, just imagine the discussions on GLP at the time, not much different than today, war, coming out of depression, segregation.

It is fine to think of the past, but don't idealize things that are not true.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40334276


Things were better then. We had more freedom. Sure, there was segregation. But that was not a bad thing. In fact, studies show that blacks were better off under segregation. There was less crime, they had more jobs, they had better education.

The way things are now is just awful. You can't force people to be equal. They inherently are not equal and forcing them to act like they are ends with the problems we have now.

Very cool video but nothing about this looks like it was filmed yesterday unless yesterday was 70 years ago. Looks pretty typical of color footage from the time period.

proof that evolution is BS

Look at society now compared to back then , pants hanging down, sideways ballcaps, sneering looks, men call women bitches (literally means female dog), women call each other bitches. Society is sick now compared to back then.

Amazing how well dressed everyone was. Not a single man had his shirt tail untucked. All the women wore dresses. I would have actually liked to visit that version of NYC. Nowadays, I don't care if I ever see it again.
 Quoting: Dr. Atmood


Being respectable used to mean something.

Now days if you want to be a slob, you just tell yourself that other people's views of you don't matter as long as you respect yourself. Such is the lie of self respect.

How lovely the people looked all dressed up like that :)

Such pretty hats and hair bows the ladies wore. I'd have to be rich to dress like that now a days. 5 cent Pina coladas :D

there were no "wonder years" where everything was all hunky dory

shit was bad back than too...what the color video doesn't show you is the crime filled and impoverished areas


but granted,people did take pride in their appearance even the poor/homeless dressed relatively well
