@Leena146 Well said!

In 1954 Westinghouse, who owned KYW radio, bought WPTZ-TV and traded them to RCA for a radio and TV station in Cleveland. From 1955 to 1965, Channel 3 and 1060AM in Philadelphia were WRCV (for RCA Victor). In 1965 the FCC forced the TV stations to swap back and so KYW, which had been in Cleveland for those 11 years, came back to Philly along with Mike Douglas and Tom Snyder. Read Wikipedia on KYW for the whole history if interested.

@snorlax45 ignorance and bigotry was normal unfortunately. exactly what are "we" going to take back? as long as people continue to differentiate by race the wealthy will continue to control all of us. because the wealthy don't give a rat's ass if you are white black or purple. they only care about how much money you have. that is the real separation in this nation. you sir, are the asshole.

My impression of pre-1971 Philadelphia was that it was stodgy and depressing. With the exception of the Mummers Parade footage, his video actually supports it.

A quiet Sunday in Philadelphia...only because, thanks to the "Blue Laws" that weren't repealed until the 1970s, the only things that were open were churches, ballparks, theaters and train stations.

Look at all the great stuff we had back then! Blackface in public, crap beer, the systematic removal of the trolleys, and laughably failed urban and traffic planning.
In 2011, we've got a long way to go, but we're miles ahead.
