I don't care what anyone else says, New York during the golden era was the best time period to be there. Noone can design buildings well anymore. I wish I could spend at least a day in Manhattan during the '20s, '30s, '40s and '50s. The other reason for my wanting to go back to that time is mainly for the cars, music, cartoons, movies and formal attire.

Hello, I was wondering do you happen to have any footage from coney island?

Yes... NYC was at its zenith around this time. It wasn't till the mid 60's did it start to decline. I guess it started when they tore down the old Metropolitan Opera House, and then tearing down the irreplaceable Penn Station.. and the flight to the suburbs. But love it now with Times Square cleaned up! NYC... you're the Top!

The skyline footage with the two officers are from the roof top of the R.C.A. Building. Love those old theatre marquees!
