Ah yes, the gay 90s. Was called that before gay meant homosexual.

If I recall correctly, the Seattle worlds fair of 1962 had a gay zone, a play area for kids. Today a gay zone would have a very different meaning.

Mules.

No cars and no electricity = no pollution. Right?

My grandmother was 10 years of age in 1898. When she lived with us when I was child she would recall for us her Father hitching up the buggy to go to town or church.

Noticing the size and speed of some of the carts, and well as the large piles of horsesh** - I can understand why the Victorians found a need to invent sidewalks.

A bunch of the wheels on the buggies are not turning. 0:15 - 0:20 is an example. Some wheels on buggies turn while others do not. Watch the spokes. Strange.

Looks like one Brit driving on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic.

Find some film clips of U.s. cities up to about 1920. You will be amazed at how many horse drawn wagons, carriages, and horsemen are among the street traffic since cars were only then coming into limited mass production.

Even at the beginning of WWII, the vaunted German armored Panzer divisions were largely shock units with most transportation furnished by horses. And of course everyone still remembers the futile courage of the Polish cavalry charges against them.

Real saturation of private autos in the US didn’t come until after WWII.

Those trees get another 42 years to grow and provide shade for future German troops.
