  • Check out the Prelinger Archives. Not sure what the name is, just do a search on New York City and you'll find it eventually.

  • Oh, so that's what horns and sirens look like.

  • You sit there and show me a video of some evil Goldman Sachs/Federal Reserve Zionist Jews great-grandparents...Some of those peoples progeny in this vid were responsible for ordering the assasinations of JFK and his brother. Watch this and then watch a Wal Mart video with those behemoths walking down the aisles buying their Whey Protein Powder, High Fructose Corn Syrup Mountain Dew, Made In China American flags, and Al Gore Eco-Mercury bulbs. Then I weep for America inside and pity her!

  • I've always wanted to live in the 1930's-1920's and 1970's-1990's

  • Amazing video! I loved the rides at Coney - so dangerous looking, and so much fun looking. People weren't such wimps back then. The Human Pool Table!

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan You can still tell what class people are in today by the brand of their clothes. The only thing that's changed is that some rich people don't feel the need to spend large amounts of money on high end brands when they can save money on clothes that are cheaper, but still look nice. Back then most rich people didn't have to work, they had "old" money and would make investments and sit back and watch the cash flow in so they didn't care if it was wasted.

  • I wish people still dressed like that today !!! It's to show what class you're in. People lost their value today...

  • Most of the film clips are c. 1917-1918 as far as I could tell

    

  • This had to have been between 1913 and 1930, since the Woolworth Building was built in 1913, and 40 Wall Street surpassed it in height in 1930.

  • @barry44250 To music. Usually Barry Manilow, Kraftwerk, or, for the ultra-orthodox, Justin Beiber.

  • Ahhh... The 80's.
