@@BarryWinner2075 nah Detroit
Notice how many of one type of business that you rarely see anymore? Repair shops of all kinds. Shoe, machinery. Household goods. Not a throwaway culture back then.
That was a great observation I noticed the same thing repair shops nobody repairs anything anymore how we waste resources nowadays👍🏼😎🇨🇦
Just seeing ANY business in Detroit is rarely seen anymore.
@@argopunk Well from what I understand just seeing anything in a large portion of Detroit is surprising.
Yup. Before the era of planned obsolescence and the consumer landfill economy.
Jeff: I have lived in SE Asia for over 22 years now. There is a large mixture of all types of businesses on every block, just like in this video. That's because we don't have zoning commissions that tell a person where they can & can't set up a business and what type.
You drive down a street looking for a place to set up your business, see a for rent storefront, and contact the owner and see if you can come to an agreement on the monthly rental.
No environmental impact report, architectural sketches, how much room you'll be able to provide for off-street parking, blah blah blah! Just more govt interference/ruling/ control of your once believed "freedom's" that you've lost without even having your voice heard at a city council meeting that's now monitored by the FBI because you'll get labeled as a trouble maker/anarchist/militant.
Crazy how a lot of these folks saw the turn of the century from wagons and horses to automobiles and airplanes.
And broadcast radio.
My parents were born in the very early 20th century and often spoke of the changes they saw. Hell, my wife’s grandparents were born in the late 19th century and her grandfather fought in WWI. They had stories to tell.
Some lived to see spacecraft too.
@@MajorSeventh Indeed and television too.
There were even still a few veterans of the Civil War alive at that time, too.
The late 1930's...Detroit was on it's way to becoming one of the great major cities in the United States. A roaring Auto Industry beckoning with job opportunities that would see people from all over the country and from all walks of life move to the city. I would give anything to time travel back and witness what it was like if only for a week or two.
Me too. I want to experience the 1930s and 1940s.
us have casteist pajjeets too?@@siddrajput1029
and I wouldn’t really like to go back to those years, since there wasn’t the comfort that we have now
Detroit's prosperity peaked in the late 1920's. Once you got past 1929 you started to have problems with Communist influence and labor unions. By 1943, you had the 1st race riot. The city's great buildings and institutions had already been built and established by 1929.
@@ednorton47 True, Detroit is a city of the 1920's, not so much the '30's.
The first three minutes of this film takes place along Detroit‘s old Skid Row on Michigan Avenue just west of downtown. The movie Federal Manhunt is playing at the theater; it was released in 1938. Koblin’s Cut Rate is visible at 500 Michigan Ave. This whole area was subsequently cleared in an urban renewal scheme that was light on renewal.
Thank you for this work. I welcome more from Detroit, but enjoy them all!
Thank you!!
At 1:19 The film starts at Michigan Ave and Cass intersection and goes west down Michigan ave. Today the AT&T building sits on one side of the intersection and the US Federal building on the other side of Michigan ave.
😘
Nah
Why is there no litter?
The clarity of this is amazing. You can read all the signs clearly and see lots of detail in the people and vehicles.
Whoever Filmed This, WANTED To Save This City Scene For Posterity. Taking Their Time Moving More SLOWLY To Show The Crammed Shops And The Dirty Car Bottoms. VERY GOOD Restoration Of The Film Indeed.
It won't be long, when these films will be even clearer & in 3D VR. Goggles on to be IN there!
The color restoration has a realistic "grittyness" in this 1939 footage. Great work as usual NASS.
thank you very much ;;)
Agreed I love it! 👍
Thx!! ^^@@SecretWars98
some of the white skin came out ghostish in the beginning like they were covered in Noxzema but I only noticed a little unless its that time traveler I saw
My grandpa was born a farmer in Clear Lake, Iowa in 1905. He came back from the army in 1925 and returned to the family farm until the Depression, when the price of corn fell so badly, that they could no longer support themselves by farming. Grandpa had MANY stories about going to Green Bay, Detroit, and Chicago, and doing any job he could find, no matter how short or how menial, and send the money home to his family -My Grandma and aunts -Mom wasn't born until after the war. He ended up working pretty much full time in the Chicago Slaughterhouses from about the time of this footage until the War started. His stories about the slaughterhouse were hair-raising. He saw men get cut and bleed to death, and other guys die in worse ways. He was a tough old bird, and I was lucky enough to have him in my life until 1986, when I was 24. It is fascinating to think that he could be in some of this old footage, or maybe just someone he knew. I miss the old folks. Thanks for this....
People whine about OSHA, but for every regulation I can guarantee several people died that led to it. Factories during the Second Industrial Revolution in the U.S. were death traps.
I’m French but I’ve been to Detroit several times. Since the city didn’t evolve as much as others in the country, and a lot of places have simply been abandoned, you can feel some of this energy from ancient times that hasn’t really been built over like everywhere else. Despite what everyone says about this place, I found Detroit to be one of the most fascinating cities I ever traveled to. It has some mythical aura to it especially in the center. It feels like a time portal sometimes which is really rare for a Western city. I hope you do more videos about them because it’s really a perfect fit for your work. Great job!
thank you very much
It has nothing to do with not evolving. It was mismanaged with stupid democrat policies in the city itself and throughout the country.
@@ban80Yes, destroyed by Democrats like other once great American cities
@@ban80 Its multifactorial. But yes, very poor management.
Great description. It feels just enough that way, that it makes you yearn to see what it was really like at its zenith. So close, yet so far.
It’s amazing the stuff you are putting out lately from the source material to the restoration. Honestly, one of the best channels on YT.
thank you very much ;)
Doesn’t seem as bad as the depression is described
Really enjoyed watching this. All my grandparents were living and raising families in Detroit at this time. Most of my aunts and uncles were born by the late 30's, though my parent's didn't come along for a few more years. My paternal grandmother always talked about how wonderful Detroit was back in the day.
Thank you
My Grandparents too, my father was born in ‘36
My great grandfather was an editor and foreign correspondent for the Detroit News
@@elizabethowens8548 Nice, my Gramdmother worked for the Macomb Daily years ago. Not even 100% sure if that paper still exists. It was still around when my family moved away in the early 80s.
i love these videos man. thank you for the work
thank you very much ;))
I truly love when people see the camera and they have no idea that one day they would be famous on this thing we call the internet & RUclips! They are a staple in time. Thank you NASS.
Thank you
I thought the same thing!
Detroit was one of the wealthiest cities in the country back then. Nice video.
Atleast it's got diversity now, so much better
Most diverse cities are worse off in many countries. Look what the black population have done to all these great cities. Just facts!
I wonder what happened that made it so terrible today?🤔
Skid row -- yet even there, everyone has a suit and hat on.
Indeed and it's global too, people in China, Japan, Germany, France, all countries changed from formal wear to casual wear in public around the same time. It has to be one of the most fascinating changes in global culture in the 20th century.
Interesting how few women were out. Men went to work and provided, women kept up the home and raised the family.
This is how the streets still looked in the 50s and early mid 60s. By the late 60s and early 70s you could see the culture change, drug users and dealers were trashing everything.
Drugs exploded around the mid 60s EVERYWHERE
You mean the culture change of investing in Detroit to stealing all the resources out of Detroit to subsidize idiotic suburbs that never could pay for themselves? Yeah, I noticed that culture change to the suburban parasites too!
Called blacks
As a youngster I remember going to Hudson's and to Crowley's where the escalators still had no stairs, just the wooden slats. Ladies in high heels had to stand on their toes on those escalators. Also, Olympia Stadium. Detroit was actually a real city then.
@@brandonbell5357 What is the weather like in Moscow today, comrade?
Nass, Love your channel. The Mobsters nicknamed "The Purple Gang" ruled Detroit Underworld in the 1920's with their bootlegging, extortion and murder but sometime in the 1930's they started to fizzle out due to infighting. They had strong allies including the Al Capone syndicate in Chicago! Plus, I like the men's dress-style in the 1930's with their nice fedora hat, nice suit and nice shoes-It made a nice, snappy look! Thanks for the upload.
Hi!! Thank you
@@NASS_0 You are very welcome my friend. 😊
Were they Italian?
@@chickenalaking1319 The Purple Gang were mostly Jewish Mobsters. They were the Detroit dominant gangsters in the 1920's and early 1930's.
At one point Detroit was the 3rd largest city in America. My grandmother came here in the 1940's for work. She was born on the kitchen table in a dirt floor shack in Kentucky. She only had a 3rd grade education. She worked in a munitions factory and made parts for the bombs dropped on Japan. After the war she worked at Chrysler as an inspector. Since she was short she inspected the wiring in the trunk. She owned 3 homes and retired with a full pension. She had her dream home built in Florida where she lived out her days.
Great story!. I wish i could have lived back then.

I can't figure out what street US/MI 112 is today and and 3minutes it looks to be a Ford plant in Highland Park. At the 7 minute mark is either Highland Park or River Rouge plant. One thing is for sure, Detroit was ALIVE and KICKING.
What a great snapshot into the era...the businesses small and large and the people showing badges to enter the factory to the skid-row views of the depression. Thank you for sharing your excellent work.
Thank you ;))
At 1:28 - “Kentucky”, starring Richard Greene and Loretta Young, released December 1938.
yes 1938!!
Which could mean this was filmed in the winter, maybe as late as February 1939.
Richard Gere went on to a successful career
What always haunts me about these old recordings is the realization that all of the adults have since passed away. It's like watching ghosts,kinda cool.
Aside from the superb restoration, the audio is just the ticket. I imagine that part takes quite an effort to recreate. Well done and SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you for posting these.
What an incredible city Detroit once was.
All of out cities were once great. Los Angeles and Chicago were incredible cities too. But yes, Detroit took the biggest fall.
@GFY11, at least they are diverse now. And run by Marxist.
It would still be if it wasn't for the blatant racism
@@GFY11 @psychedelicsanctuary. more ignorant comments from ignorant people sharing ignorant narratives. Detroit has roared back, and is amazing again. Stop devouring mass media hate and open your eyes.
What a beautiful solid cars! The nice memories of old cities. A lot of little private business. I love that!🤔🥹As always historical footages,thanks!
Thank you very much
It's proven that these "solid cars" were more dangerous. Not enough crumple zone. In fact, the Tesla Cybertuck is thought to have the same problem.
@@GFY11 lol
@GFY11 you are what is wrong with the country
Thank you again for everything you do and cheers from New Brunswick Canada👍🏼😎🇨🇦
Thank you
Love the sign "Guns-Typewriters"
Yes, really cool. Firearms where everywhere and no shootings, with only mafia types being the exception. With today's rampant mental illness, even allowing folks to drive cars or own kitchen knives is a risk
Remington made typewriters and pistols in WWII.
Wow, what a fantastic job, Nass. Keep up the great work. JoAnn
Thank you ;)
Wonderful work on the colourisation, definitely adds to the ambience. Felt as if I could step into the scene. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you
I was trying to figure out exactly where these videos were taken. The only street sign I see in the first street clips is a sign for US-112. That is now Michigan Avenue near downtown. The other clue is a quick clip of a place named the "Triangle Cafe." There are a number of triangular lots along Michigan Avenue between 1st Street and Griswold Streets that could give rise to that name. You can also see a street number on the big pawn shop @1:12, which is 412. If we assume that they are still on Michigan Avenue, that corresponds to the northwest corner of Cass & Michigan; so, if I had to guess, it was taken heading West (assuming most people are walking towards downtown) along Michigan Avenue somewhere between Griswold and Cass. The 'low' character of many of the shops (cheap hotels, pawnshops, bars) are consistent with that area's reputation from back in the day.
Toda mi admiración por lo que hacen. Recopilando y emitiendo éstas imágenes. Muchas gracias.Desde España 🇪🇦
Thank you for making these video's
Thank you very much
@@NASS_0 Great work, A+ to you! 👍😀❤️😺
I’m from Detroit area. That era would’ve been when my dad began his big band musical career. He played in Detroit and all over the country.
Beautiful work, everyone's movement is so fluid, like it was filmed yesterday.
Thank you for posting , loved it 💯🧐🤨😆🤣 but was that George Baily , AKA Jimmy Stewart crossing the street?
thank you very much
Sure was and Violet was a few steps ahead of him!! 😄
Virtually every single car you see parked on the street was born in that city. Side note: where are all the waddling tubs of lard? Obesity is the norm today, sadly.
Scary how fat most people are today actually. I doubt most people could walk a mile or run a few blocks. Guess if they have to run, they would get caught first. I would be miles away!
@@toddaulner5393 You’re right. They don’t walk. They will drive around a parking lot for fifteen minutes looking for a close spot even if all they save is fifty steps.
The fact that you would refer to your fellow human beings as “waddling tubs of lard” says a lot more about you than it does about them.
@@birsay123 There’s absolutely no excuse for letting your body become a tub of lard. None. This is as bad as smoking and alcoholism. We, as a society, must stop coddling abhorrent, self-destructive behaviors. YOU are giving them a pass. That makes you an enabler.
@@EmilyTienne I’m giving them a pass? I’m not a gatekeeper giving out passes for social approval, like you seem to claim to be. Stop shaming and hating.
Great video! Lots of very good detail in this video. Excellent quality. The signs,vehicles and people are all so very interesting. Great prices on the advertised items along the main thoroughfare. There has, however, been some inflation since this video was shot....
Thank you
My great grandfather, along with his siblings and parents emigrated from Hungary to Detroit in the 1920s. He became a presser for Ford. I still live in mid Michigan and will never leave. This video is amazing to me! Thank you so much, as I've never been able to meet any of my family members from that side, as my grandfather killed himself whilst my mother was a toddler. This makes me feel what they lived and breathed!!
Love your videos, thanks!😊
thank you very much ;)
Some of the people walking on the sidewalk turn black and white for few seconds, it’s kinda trippy
Oh my, this was wonderful to watch, love this so much. Such talent to create this.
Thx ;))
I am so thankful to the photographers in that time, who considered filming scenes like this.
Really makes me appreciate current day photographers even more, knowing that in the future their footage might be the only way to look back at how we live now.
Very realistic!!! Great restoration job, man! ❤😊👍👍👍
thank you very much
AS A CAR NUT............ this film has to be darn close to 1938/39 based on the newest car seen. Possibly a car from 1940 (behind the fence @ 4:27). The headlights are the big give-away. Exterior tear drop headlights are usually pre 1940.
Little did they know how the world would change very soon.
yes 1938! thank you very much
Madre mía!!! Es un experto,!!!!
It's April 1939 to be exact.
@@NASS_0 1939, April to be exact. See my post up top.
just curious......how did you know......what was the give-away@@haineshisway
Just wow. So amazing to have footage of this in such clear quality.
Thank you!!
Excellent video as always.
The first 3 minutes of this is the 500-600 block of Michigan Avenue. You can see The Salvation Army Headquarters in some of the shots. But from the cars in the video, it looks more like the late 1930's than the 1920's. And, at least the first 3 minutes would be prior to 1938 when The Salvation Army's Headquarters moved to Bagley and Second.
thank you very much!
You're welcome. Always happy to help. @@NASS_0
Cuánto sabe!!! Es usted de allí, supongo. Qué interesante. Yo soy de 🇪🇦 , me encanta la historia, el cine, todo...todo me interesa.
Not quite. All the footage for the first three minutes are from the beginning of April 1939, which is when the double bill of Kentucky and Federal Manhunt played to Loop Theater at 418 Michigan Ave.
You're right. The cornerstone for the Bagley building was laid in 1938, the dedication was 1939. @@haineshisway
I grew up in Detroit on the southwest side in the 70's and 80's. I always wondered what it looked like in the 20's through the 40's.
Detroit was once the 4th largest city in the country. It was right up there with Chicago but, man, did it fall hard.
It was tough growing up in Detroit. I'm not gonna lie about it but it had its occasional moments.
How tragic all of this is gone now. Detroit is in the midst of a rebirth but so much has been destroyed and torn down that it will never be the vibrant city Detroit once was.
People get angry and burn their own city down. The tax paying portion of the population then leaves. It is happening in Portland and Minneapolis right now. People are fleeing to rural areas or cities like Miami
The portion of the video with everyone hopping off the street car and going to work is (I’m 99% sure) the Ford Highland Park Plant. Designed by Albert Kahn and where over 15 million Model Ts were made. It is situated along Woodward Ave where the street cars used to run. The plant is now abandoned but some of the structures are still there in Highland Park (a city within Detroit). I drive by it all the time. It is a National Historic Landmark.
The stretch of Woodward Avenue in Highland Park is also home to the now unused McGregor Public Library. My father as a ~ 10 year old played a violin recital there in the 1930's. He was a student of Charles Ambelides, then concertmaster of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In any case, the bronze double doors of the library are among the most wonderful of any art deco pieces I've seen. I really hope they can reopen the library. However, H.P. is much worse off than Detroit.
Excellent observations. I believe the 4 stack factory and train sequence is the Ford Rouge plant near Michigan and Miller Road. I lived 2 miles from it in my teens. Would you concur?
@@MrFullServiceH.P. is a corrupt SHITHOLE
Okay, took a few minutes, but this is beginning of April, 1939. The Lyric movie theater at 1:12 was located at 421 Michigan Ave. and was playing Lone Star Pioneers, part of a movie series about Wild Bill Hickock starring Wild Bill Elliot. More importantly, at 1:24, the movie theater on the right is the Loop Theater, 418 Michigan Ave. Playing are Kentucky with Loretta Young, and a B-movie on the bottom half of the bill, Federal Manhunt, which played there at the beginning of April for a few days. There are some nice photos of the Loop if you search the name of the theater, Michigan Avenue, and Detroit, Michigan on Google. Virtually none of this exists anymore, not a single building. THAT'S progress.

Now I know what it was like there when my parents were toddlers in nearby Roseville. My grandfather was one of the many who migrated from the south for work. All the way from Pembrook, NC. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years after this video was captured.

This video is truly amazing!
Thx!
This is a great restoration. Its fun to see the old store signs and prices. My grandparents came over from Poland in the 30s, and set up a machine shop in Detroit, making parts for the auto industry. They lived in Hamtramck and ran that business for 50 years.
Thx!!!
Hammtramck is hip now.
We were at the brink of war then, a lot of those men went to war and never came home. Detroit was turned into an airplane maker.
Really wonderful clarity to this one and all those wonderful neon signs. I could almost feel like I could jump out onto that sidewalk.
Like another world compared to today. I love these vintage clips. Film resolution is surprisingly good.
People were thinner back then. My grandparents lived in Detroit during that time.
People Ate Less Because Of Less Income, And Were A More Normal Size During The Ending Of The Depression Years Before WWII. And The Greasy Fast Food Joints Hadn't Evolved Yet To FATTEN People Up...

These amazing films are a moving testimony to the past and we are so grateful for their production. What a rare glimpse into the history of the common population and culture. Thank you!
After watching numerous of such films from the 20s and 30s, there is something strange I noticed: in scenes with crowds or city streets with a lot of pedestrians, you see very few black people. Like in this scene of the factory gate, there are hardly any. I really wonder why.
Ther restauration and coloring has worked pretty well this time. Even the sound was ok, may be a bit loud but ok. Some famous film director once said "The sound and music in a film is good if you dont notice it." Meaning, if you start thinking about the sound while you watch, there is something wrong with it.
Thank you
Great stuff! Was that possibly the Edison Conners Creek plant at the end of the film?
I thought the Rouge plant but not sure.
@@revon0521 like you, I'm mot totally sure, but it looks too small to be part of the Rouge.
A rarity. Stock footage FACING FORWARD in the vehicle instead of looking back. And what clarity. Your work gets better and better.

Ahhh yes, the once beautiful Detroit. In 1961 it was the wealthiest city in the United States, and in 1961 a particular party took over and has completely been in control ever since, and look at it today.
Wow! Look at how orderly everything was. No knockout games, carjackings, looting. Wonder how things changed 🤔
busy, vibrant, what a shame we've lost that

@@richfarmer3478 no I didn't lol.
And Big Al was in the Big House for tax evasion.
Note the Stroh's Beer advertisement on the right side of the Detroit streetcar at 3:47
Even though this is clearly not the best part of town, there’s very little trash on the streets. Everyone is well dressed even in the depression
Wow! Nice work!
Thx!
2:02 look at that guy, he's approaching like a gangster.
He's probably an accountant 😂
Notice the store that sells everything from guns to typewriters.
Up until the early 1960s we could buy guns in many stores. Most hardware stores had a section reserved for weapons and ammo. You could buy a .22 rifle for less than $20. A revolver for $12.95, ammo for 50¢ a box. Dads and sons spent many enjoyable afternoons browsing there. Crime in most communities was nil. I can tell you, without a doubt, no gun ever caused a crime, and not having a gun never stopped a criminal from commiting a crime.
I'm always amazed at how tightly they parallel parked those old tubs without benefit of power assists and automatic transmissions. (Maybe it wasn't quite as taboo to touch bumpers in the process as it is today?) One nit-picky item: The whistle of the approaching steam locomotive at the end is definitely a European-style "tea kettle" engine whistle, not a full-throated American one.
Really cool film full of interesting detail. I especially like all the advertisement!
PRETTY FUNNY @1:43......a store sign upper left stating that they sell "Guns & typewriters" .
That's quite an odd combination
Possibly they sold Tommy guns also known as the Chicago typewriter. I’m kidding lol😊
What plant is it that all those workers were going into?
We can talk about the good old days, but it would have been no picnic working in an old manufacturing plant like that.
Wow, Amazing Footage!!!
