1940 America Part 1

[DATJACK61]

yep..

a wonderful era i missed out on by 55 years.

i freakin hate the 20th century.

people are disgusting.

the government is comprised of morons

music doesnt even use real instruments

clothing is smaller yet more expensive.

trashy is the new classy.

f the 20th century

America has died

[mojochessclassics]

aesthetically it looks like something of a golden age- proper cars, proper jobs, proper buildings, proper signs, proper clothing, proper food.... but can anybody call jim crow laws or the mob 'proper' ?... probably not. Similarly, could anybody call the current state of any of the aforementioned things 'proper' these days? It seems to many that America has nothing left to do but stagnate... how far it has fallen in many ways. The USA used to be a producer. Now all we can do is shop.

Very nice and interesting clip...only wish I knew where the photo's were from.

[Desertjxj]

Music and photos are stunning. Beautiful trip to a bygone era. Well done.

You can tell from the shots that there wasn't much money back then and that it must of been tough to live in small town America. Today, even the old timers probably can't recall how tough it must of been.

[JDProductions2]

If you're this country's future...we are in big trouble. Learn the English language before you speak of topics you have absolutely NO clue of. Until then, just... STFU.

[skot66]

Half the people today would never be able to make it back then..I guess I am an old soul..my whole house is done in 1930-1940 decor..Hell I don't even have modern phones(automatic electric AE40's) I must have been born in the wrong time..I'm 35..

[JDProductions2]

My playroom is circa 1939, except maybe for the HDTV.

[imyourfuturewife]

@skot66 I'm 15 but I would love to live back then. I watch classic movies. I can get a cell phone but I don't think I really need one. I don't really have electronics besides the computer i'm using. I love using old machines. My parents have old stuff they've gotten from there grandparents. And were going to through the stuff out. But I beg them to keep it. I sometimes even do my homework on a type writer. It's fun:) Also the style was great too!

[hep2jive]

bad music- you did better using glenn miller or benny goodman or anita oday...

[hudsoninbury]

This is strange.

I was reading your comment about the music and watching video and Glenn Miller came on .. on Radio 2 Chris Evans show 'In the Mood' So I have watched the video with the music you suggested...!!

[Masferre]

[JDProductions2]

Agreed...

[stukeck]

Better times and a better place,,,

Papy muttered it...

[JDProductions2]
