The photographic look into the past was lovely, and the historical facts were so interesting and appreciated.
Super great...another saved history...🥰🥰
Love this presentation along with lovely music. 💝 Thank you.
Beautiful old photographs accompanied by wonderful haunting music and striking video clips made this a lovely, memorable one Renee. A little work of art really…..😊
Love these old pictures thanks for sharing
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City. Sounds, like fun, but alas, I'm a few decades late for those pictures. Maybe someday as I've never been. Great presentation Renee 👍👍
Unfortunately the beauty of that city as with so many other cities has been neglected and fallen victim to crime, drugs and prostitution. Do yourself a favor and just look through the old pictures and visit there through your mind. It's much safer 😉
Beautifully done❤️thank you for the glimpse into the past❤️❤️
Another beautiful step back in time Renee.❤❤❤
Thanks Renee It's sad that a beautiful, old hotel is now gone.
Lovely ❤🐨
Very nicely done, Renee! Atlantic City was once known as “The World’s Playground.”
I really enjoy watching all aspects of your show, but when you take a trip back in history, it is my favorite part, and tonight, when I watched this piece, it was no exception. Thank you for being who you are and always stay safe and healthy. ⚘️
Some beautiful photos. Thankyou Renee.
So these old photographs, like those from Atlantic City in the early 1900s, hold immense historical value for several reasons. They serve as visual time capsules, offering insights into the culture, socioeconomic context, and human stories of the era. In Atlantic City, these photographs reveal the opulence of the Belle Époque, the divide between wealthy vacationers and local workers, and significant events like the construction of landmarks and the Miss America pageant. They evoke nostalgia and provide a tangible connection to the past, allowing us to discover not just the physical landscape, but also the people, culture, and stories of that time.
They do hold so much history! I used to go to Atlantic City with family as a teenager, it was always “exciting” to walk the boardwalk & see everything. Between then & now, so much more has changed.
@@PaperandMoose Oh cool, I would love to see some pictures and if possible video of Atlantic City that you took around that time somewhere, please share :)
Never been to Atlantic City. Thanks for sharing these old photos
As always such a great peak into the past. You really have a gift doing these, thanks for the stroll down the board😊
A brilliant dive into the past - and, of course, into the Atlantic Ocean ! 👌Technically a little bit different this time, but I think that´s a great idea. I always wanted to visit Atlantic City but was told that it lost some of it´s previous glamour nowadays. What do you think as a Jersey lady about that, Renée ? "Meet me tonight in Atlantic City". 😉 Holiday tomorrow over here (Labor Day), so we might sleep a little bit longer. Greets from GER, U.
The “Meet me tonight in Atlantic City” is from a Bruce Springsteen song titled “Atlantic City. It has changed tremendously even from the late 1990s & early 2000s. I can only imagine what the people of this time in the photographs would think of Atlantic City now… from the bathing suits to the buildings. Enjoy the holiday & a little extra sleep!
Renee !!! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us all!!! I appreciate you! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!
These people must have been hot in their clothes on the beach.
Great video Renee.
I love looking into the past the architecture the style of dress, Your sure not going to see dresses or trousers like that at the beach now. And loved the music. You are a fabulous creator, love you and have a great day!!
Really lovely video. I have old pictures of Atlantic City but not this old! I am there every other week in the casinos and my parents took us on vacation back in the 1960s. Beautiful!
Somebody had a good vacation in Atlantic City. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for this. Really liked the music. I wonder what the folks in dresses and blazers would think walking across the beach these days! Positively scandalous :). You don't read about too many buildings or restaurants described as handsome anymore. I see the Dunlop was advertised as fireproof. Strange - we don't think about that so much these days, but so many places were advertised that way back then. Looks like the Dunlop lived up to its name if it made it to 1995. Other "fireproof" buildings did not, as you know. I won't say anymore in case you want to do a HBtP on Atlantic City Hotel fires! (A little off subject, but there was a fire under the boardwalk last week, apparently? Maybe a couple of small fires - arson? Couldn't tell from a quick look). Great piece as always! Hope you have a terrific Tuesday afternoon!
I also didn’t read too much on the most recent fire there, but I heard pretty much what you stated. I remember when Seaside Heights went through Hurricane Sandy & lost so much of their boardwalk & then a fire destroyed even more shortly after. Atlantic City really does have so much history, from the buildings to the people that owned the buildings to those that visited there. On my last visit to AC about 2 years ago, it seemed to have changed so much, unfortunately a decline, over the last years. Going there as a teenager it even seemed exciting & thrilling, with all of the hotels & casinos. How things change… including the bathing suits!
@@PaperandMoose or shall we say LACK of bathing suits! 😂
Very beautiful 👍🤓👍❣️🫶❣️. Thanks for sharing
Well done, as always 😊
very touching
Another great compilation! I remember AC before the casino days. Often went there as a kid. Thanks for sharing.
So awesome! I love a "look" at history!!
Afternoon ! Thank You for the walk along the early days of the Atlantic Boardwalk ! I have been there back in the 90s and walked the Boardwalk ! Have a wonderful Day 😄
Thank you Renee I enjoyed your video. Just want to say your awesome keep those videos coming. We all enjoy them very much love and God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏😇
Hello Renee. I love the hats the ladies wore back then . They look so happy. I wonder if they would be just as happy today On the beach ? I know I’d rather be somewhere I could go to the beach and relax listening to the waves. I hope they had an amazing life. This was very nice. You did amazing work and brought back memories for some and a family into the future. Lovely job. Take care. I hope your week is going great. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I wonder what the women back then would think of our bathing suits today? They probably would be in shock! But I agree, any day at the beach would be a good day!
That interesting and informative.Thank-you Renee.Most enjoyable
As always a beautiful presentation !
Love these old photos and the way you show them!😍
Thanks for sharing❣️
A long time ago (1970’s) my great grandma took me and my sister to a public pool and told the girl that was working the front area that we need to rent swimsuits. We looked at grandma and said they don’t do that and she said sure they do and the girl at the counter said no we don’t rent suits. ❤️
Love these videos. Good job, Renee.
Great little video Renee. Atlantic City, on my list to visit one day but I guess very different to one you showed.
Simply stunning ❤
Looks a little different nowadays,👏👏👍🏻🇬🇧🤠
You got that right!
Nicely arranged.

It is so sad how dilapidated AC is now. My Aunt who came to America in the 1940's from Norway (her family lived on a farm)decided one day that she wanted to find a rich husband so she got into her best, most beautiful dress and the only fur coat she had and worked very hard to buy on her own and went yo the boardwalk in Atlantic City with her sister. So long story short, she sees this young dapper looking gentleman and just KNEW that was him! That was her rich American husband! Well she goes up to introduce herself and when the young man opened his mouth to talk, guess what?!?!?! He had JUST as thick of a Norwegian accent as my Aunt! He was from Norway also! Well, they ended up getting married, having a wonderful family and buulding a highly successful company together that my Uncle has retired from and now his sons run the company. 😊
I love the story of your Aunt!! How funny that she makes a new home here in America only to find someone from Norway, just hanging out on the Atlantic City boardwalk. It was meant to be! I agree, Atlantic City has changed so much, from back in the early 1900s to even what it was like in the 90s & early 2000s. A shame, really. Your Aunt’s Atlantic City love story is one that adds to the history of that town & all the memories made there!
Another peice of history in the books This was a fun video Thanks for the nostalgiac look back I always wonder if you've highlighted someone that a viewer knows as a family member That would be a story in itself for you 🇨🇦🦩
