@saschneider. Thank you very much for sharing your family treasures with the You Tube community. It's like going back in time. Though this from way before I was born I can appreciate how your great grands were enjoying their day. I makes you think, how many thousands of people stood at Buckingham Fountain and had their pictures taken since this fim was made? Some things are universal. No matter what race, color ore creed you are, you always enjoy Buckingham Fountain. Thanks for sharing!

@hellomikie92 vicious crimes is still happening now.. leaders AMERICA = kill more and label them whatever we want through the media and fool the public into it

never thought I would see the Pabst sign lit up let alone in action.

@MrMabloz In my opinion, life hasn't changed much. You people will never know how life was back then by watching video's. Some of the most vicious crimes occurred back then. Black Dahlia for example, so stop judging how life was back then, by watching videos.
