Can’t believe how well dressed those three homeless people were.
To: PotatoHeadMick
The 3 homeless men sure don’t look like the homeless today.

McSorleys is my favorite bar in NYC and it's hardly changed a lick

If I had a time machine I'd get into it. I not sure I'd set it for NYC 1941-2, but I'd go back to pre 1960 somewhere. It was a much better country in those days. I think most smart people posting here know why.
Three more observations:
1. Notice that there seem to be no fat people.
2. Notice that there is little or no trash on the street.
3. Notice not a bit of graffiti anywhere!
Gee, I wonder why.

Interestingly, McSorley’s bar is featured. It gained notoriety for refusing to admit women until forced to do so by a court order in the 1970’s, and it didn’t have a lady’s room until the mid-1980’s.

Notice how nearly all the men wore suits, just because they were in public?

Amazing snapshots of a lost world. Thankfully some things have remained...Budweiser and hot dog carts.

Coca-Cola signs haven't changed.
We were in McSorley's just last year.

So many of these were just before Pearl Harbor.
There was nothing like Kodachrome, as everyone now knows.

Too bad there's none of mid-town.
I'd love to see some photos of Central Park, Rockefeller Center area, etc.
To: PotatoHeadMick

I do see a fellow holding a cellphone in one of the shots. What’s up with that?

Reminds me of something I’ve heard Michael Savage say a few times: “...back when the chrome was thick and the girls were straight”.
Maybe this country was better off when everyone smoked cigarettes and drank booze.
Oh well.
