Excellent!

I love these old vids that you post.

The people of NYC have changed....but, the buildings have not!

A lot of pollution over those buildings.

Trying to determine if the ferry, at the beginning, was on the Hudson or the East river.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting. Brings back a lot of memories as a child growing up in the Bronx during the 50’s and traveling to NYC with my father.

Still wouldn’t want to live there.

I read a book..Letters from America from 1820.
It was about a sister in NYC who was corresponding with her sister back in England.
She described NYC as “charming” and “everyone is friendly”

NYC - December - winter with no snow? Climate change!

One thing I’ve noticed about old newsreels is how much better people dressed in those days, when we were much less affluent. Most adult men wore suits and ties in public, and many wore fedoras and other hats. Adult women typically wore dresses and some sort of hat. Now, most people dress very casually, and many are complete slobs.

Very cool, but I couldn’t help but think, all those people are dead.

That’s a lot of dead people...
