Have you done one on Montreal?
If so, plz send me the link😌
Is this a hobby or do you work for a company that preserves old footage?
No
You are a' Time Machine'.... thanks!
I did, shared this one just now and new subscriber. I minored in Historic Preservation in college and this is right up my alley, you rock. Would love to see you do one on St. Louis, Please and Thank You.
To think this is almost 100 years ago is amazing. Probably little did the filmmaker realize he or she was saving forever a little sliver of history for future generations to see and enjoy.
I completely agree with you.The question is will people in 100 years look at our world today with the same interest?
My best wishes from Russia.
Likely a he
@@sergei6572maybe not as many but there will definitely be some. So document and post some publicly for that exact reason. Only way for future generations to know is to document
there is nothing better on You Tube than these old historic films. This is mind blowing
it's an actual time machine
It's like time travel
Absolutely mind blowing
Hi how are you?

@@Puro4letraspuroMAGA Hi hope you are fine
Each time I see something on this channel I know I'm in for a treat,sit back,relax and enjoy,take in the surroundings,car's,atire and folk going about there day along with Nass's attention to detail,I find myself returning to these vid's as each time you notice something different,thanks for bringing pleasure to my day. Best wishes to NASS,family,friends and fellow fans.
thank you very much 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@NASS_0 My pleasure,as always.
Most of Nass's work is worth more than one view!
Yep! 🤠👍
@@JohnShinn1960 So true,have a great weekend.
Just found your channel and I am gobsmacked at the level of restoration possible and the authenticity the added sound design creates too. Many thanks for putting these together. It really brings new life to the history of our species. It really is quite magical to visit these places in a different time. Your work is fantastic. Please keep it up.
Fantastic! Superb job of making the viewer feel like he's actually there. Thank you!
This was one of my favorites from this great channel. Very nice to watch more than once.
thank you so much ;)
tators missed, Hi I agree. I like this episode a lot! One of my favorites as well and I like many that NASS has done!
I can't thank you enough for sharing your work. My hero, my grandfather, grew up in KC in the 20's and I'd always wondered what the streets he used to run around on as a younger man looked like. This is just incredible!!! Will be showing everyone in my family, thanks again!!
I can't stop smiling at remastered footage like this, it's so amazing to see it in almost video quality like it was just more recently filmed with someone's camcorder...
What’s a camcorder?
@@craiggillett5985 Look it up.
@@craiggillett5985 really?
Phones have in built camcorders.😉
The gentlemen were so mannerly to take their hats off in front of the camera. You would never see such a thing today.
That was something I noticed, too!
It's called common courtesy and respect. Two things lacking in society today. People used to hold a door for somebody behind them and said "thank you" or "please". A gentleman stood up if a woman entered the room or came to their table at a restaurant. A man gave a seat to a woman or elderly/disabled person on a bus or trolley. A man tipped his hat when greeting somebody. Men removed their hat when riding with others on an elevator. I'm from a different generation and era.
Its going to be cringey nowadays
Today everyone have camera in smartphone. Make no sense to take hat off everytime when someone make short movie.
@@Jeff-uj8xi and million others
Very genuine. It takes me there. That was the time my grandparents were young adults and starting their family. I can see environs similar to theirs and get a feel for what their lives were like then.
I like that the individuals filming communicated with individuals and got them to do that hat off greet. It was a really nice touch and made the video all the more special
Renegade, Back in the 1800's to the 1940's most men naturally and automatically took their hats off for photos and also tipped their hats to ladies walking by. They did it naturally back then. They did not have to be asked. It was the natural and polite thing to do! That's the way it was back then my friend. Men do not do that anymore sadly.
Unbelievable how recognizably modern or modern-feeling everything was already a century ago...
So bizarre to think, some of the 80+ year old men in this video could have fought in the Civil War.
Kyle, Hi, very true. My grandma, who I knew very well, was born in 1914 Alabama and was a kid in the 1920's. She almost lived to be 100 years old. And I know in her youth she must have talked to a few former slaves and maybe some civil war veterans as well.
Counsel Grove still looks pretty much the same 2022! I recognized the area immediately! Very cool thanks for sharing!
It's like being transported back in time, I'd imagine this would be cool in some sort of virtual headset environment...
How strange - a world that is at the same time both distant yet familiar. I have to agree with the other people that say your videos “are like a Time Machine” - they really are. These make me feel closer to history than any book. Please keep making these films if you can!!!!
Hi bradonomous, I agree 120%. Love NASS videos!
@nuddekutsch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Almost expect to see Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker to drive by at some point.
Being in Kansas City it was nice to see the WW1 Museum and Union Station 100 years ago, I pass by those landmarks almost daily. Also, notice how a gentleman removes his hat when someone is taking his picture. WOW I enjoy all your videos, thank you for taking the time to restore them!
Amazing restoration! 🙌
thank you so much
Wow, what a coincidence you just uploaded this Video today. This afternoon I started reading „An American Tragedy“ by Theodore Dreiser. Thanks to your Video i can imagine the whole scenery of KC in the 20s a lot better!
A great slice of Americana. Good work. It's like you are there.
Love your stuff Nass! This video is even more of a masterpiece because you see the 1920's people in closeups, along with the great background scenes! Love the horse & buggy parked next to the car at 2:48 at the hitching post! I love history and enjoyed this video immensely! Thanks for the upload.❤❤
Your videos are so amazing. 😊👍🏻 Come from JoeyB Tunes. He talked about you in a nice way in his show. Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪
Thanks for this video. Kansas City, Missouri has a lot of houses and buildings that are older than the 1920's.
Excellent footage! I had to watch it several times. Thanks,you did a great job on this one.👍
Thx ;)
Hi Linda how are you?
@@morrisdonte7064 Do I know you?🤔
@@lindabenstead6672 I do live in Austin Texas USA. I am Morris Donte would like to be a friend. Where do you live and how is the weather condition over there?
My Grandmother and her parents, my Great Grandparents came from Michigan. Wouldn't it be something else if they showed up in footage like this. Loved the look back, bring em on my friend. 👍
Wow, the difference between this and it's original!
Great work again Nass!
👍👍👍👍👍
Worth more than one view!
thank you very much
Terrific job putting this together!
I Enjoyed this video very much it was interesting to see people up close as to there dress and expressions. Things really have not changed much.
Im a 80s kid and this era draws me in. The cars oh man do i love those cars. This time period is beautiful to me.
The RUclips algorithm worked its magic today and your channel popped up in my recommended feed and I’m so glad it did!
I can’t imagine the reaction of one of those people in the video being told that in 90 years time people will be watching the footage back in colour, some on iPhones, some on TV and some on laptops on a video sharing website called RUclips on this thing called the internet.
Its easy to notice the obvious such as the older cars, more formal attire but for me the most incredible thing is that people are able to get on with life without a smart phone, I can’t imagine what it would be like without one. Even the little things like meeting up with friends down the pub!
You upload amazing content. Thank you so much for posting!
thank you so much ;)
Another one of your great videos, thank you!
Thanks for venturing outside the major coastal cities!….still waiting on a Cincinnati vid
amazing , loving your vids bro
Incredible work Nass, great job once again.
Thank you for making these video's.
Thx ;)
Nass, Again I must say this video was fabulous. it's one of my favorites out of many fabulous ones you have done. I would love to see even more like this. Maybe New York City or Chicago around 1919-1925 where you see close ups of the Flappers in their fur coats and men on the streets too! Keep up the fantastic work friend! 😊
This was brilliant. Thank you 🙏🏼
thank you very much
Like actually taking you their a step back in time. Amazing!
I enjoyed this very much! It was great seeing my hometown (Topeka) in the 1920s and in color. My dad was born in 1923 - can't wait for him to see this film! Thanks!
Would be so cool if he recognized somebody and went "Omg! That's Frank!" :)
Wow the restoration is amazing
I am almost speechless by this. This was mid-America, pre-depression and pre-dust bowl. I was looking for Bonnie and Clyde and/or a space ship from Krypton to crash. What a find this is...
Bobby, Hi I agree with you 100%. This was fabulous to watch. One of my favorites that NASS has done and he has done many classics!
the hell with remastered film somebody's got themselves a time machine
These videos are great the person who filmed this 100 years ago never would have thought in their wildest dreams that someone a hundred years later would be looking at these videos. How fascinating they are. Life seems so much more simple back in those days.
Do you see how much respect there was back then, for something as little as pointing a camera at them those hats came off and smiles came out. You still see that with the old timers down here in the south, but I'm sure that custom is soon to be gone forever. Great video as usual, nice to see the cows and rural areas.
Nass, WOW. Great! Another classic by the best at doing this sort of thing! This is the period of time when my grandparents were little kids,. But it wasn't in Kansas or Michigan but Alabama. Some similarities with the country life and all. Thanks for the upload.
Great and very interesting video!
Wow! This is mesmerizing.
Here because of JoeyBToonz. These videos are great!
Amazing ride, just wish I took more historic photos and flicks. The coloring compliments the era, great work, thank you!
Thx ;)
I love all the trains and streetcars!! Beautiful buildings too! What a lovely, ordered society!!
"Reset" buildings. They were already used once by other people. Believe it or not!
Thx for showing our American’s that made our country great ❤
Amzing job!
Beautiful
Fantastic. Thank you. Sharing.
When the camera rolled by “Tecumsech” my eyes watered, my Mom spent time there with Grandma & her stepdad. I grew up in the Clayton area SW of there 1950 - 1979
GREAT VIDEO SUPER NASS YOU ARE THE BEST
NASS I appreciate you uploading old footage of these large cities before they went down the toilet.
I live a few minutes from Liberty Memorial in KC and always bike there, it seems like Midtown was more populated back then and even the grand building across the Union Station used to have huge billboard signs. Thumbs up!
Going back time well done
Hi Cynthia how are you?
It's interesting how the more further away in time we get from those times, the more videos like this crop up. You would not have seen this anywhere on screen even back then unless you or someone you knew shot the footage. Even though no time is perfect, I would jump back to that time in a second if I could. Better than the bizarro world we live in now.
You wouldn't if you were black.
Overall I prefer now. Better technology and medicine.
And RUclips never existed back then! Lol
@@bobsmithy9024 I'd rather go back in those good old ''imperfect times''...now we got much much more worse pollution, overpopulation, climate change, never ending covid pandemic, plastic waste, light pollution, endangered animal species, threat of nuclear war, stupid comments and fake news on social medias, online teen bullying, dark web...NO this is not the ''bright future'' that those ancestors who lives 100 years ago ever imagined...
It's hard to say - some things were better and some things were worse. Certainly the world in those days was more full of opportunity to the common man. Opportunities now are mainly available to those with some kinds of specialism and educational "tickets" of some kind - though the basic entrepreneur can still make not, but not as easily as in the 1920s.
However, let's not forget that some of these people had just fought in a world war and they were (although they didn't know it) heading for the Wall Street Crash, The Dustbowl and the great depression of the 1930s. Many things seem now to us simpler then, but again, these people had seen motor cars and trains replace horses and carts and they were seeing the introduction of the phone and the radio - so their world was also full of change. They didn't have the scourge of hard drugs and the results of it, but alcoholism was not rare so it wasn't all gravy then either.
I respectfully disagree. Entertainment media have a strong tendency to romanticize the times of the past, especially with the recent boom in movies and shows focusing on the 80s, a trend started by Stranger Things. I had the same idea as you too but then I have come to appreciate the modern era which we lived in. Sure it has its many many issues but it's infinitely better than what our parents and grandparents' generation had to deal with.
Obviously there was the two World Wars and how that impacted the world, political propaganda was running rampant during the Cold War, domestic abuse was always high, families living in extreme poverty (rundown buildings infested with pests), healthcare was still trying to find its footing, etc.
This is super fascinating time capsule into the past. Looks like an old west mining town from cowboy movies. Just great! At 4:11 the old fashioned taking off your hat for a photo. I saw a scene of Yankee baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig do this too. You could almost smell this mans and others, straight razor barber shop shave and cologne at 4:11. With his common for the time center-parted 1920's style hair. You could also almost smell the cow pastures too! I guess cars are Model T Fords and Chevrolets. Thanks for the upload
thank you very much
@@NASS_0 You are very welcome my friend! :)
Fantastic clips.
My late father that passed at ninety-six took a road trip from Connecticut to Texas in 1935 with three other buds. He said those tires on the cars which weren’t all that much wider than a bicycle lasted roughly one-hundred miles before a blow out. Those cars heating system with similar to a stove pipe on the floor which brought heat in from the manifold. This looks like the late 1920’s to perhaps 1930. The cars were rudimentary. My dad had a Model T and a model A as he grew up in the Depression and went off to WW2. Keep in mind the road infrastructure was long before any expressway and freeway network.
Ostaraeb4, Hi thanks for sharing. My grandparents were kids in the 1920's at this time period. But in Alabama. Kansas was similar. My grandparents drove cars at 13-14 years old on these dirt roads. Like you said no highway and hardly any paved roads back then. Especially in the Southern states. all the best.
Nice gesture of those gents taking their hats off in front of the camera, something you never see anymore in today's standards.
Raven, Hi back then in the 1800's to the 1940's men did this sort of thing naturally. They did not have to be asked. It was the natural and polite thing for men to do- Taking off their hats for a photo and tipping their hats to a lady walking by. Things you do not see any more sadly.
The buildings look old even back in that period ,when they were much newer. The vehicles had an old look to them also, and they must have been built in the 1920's or so. The film was great. I think everyone that watches these video's is literally amazed at them. It's like you feel you are actually back in that time period, at least for a little while. Watching them is a nice escape from the reality, of today's difficult world for a few enjoyable minutes.

In the area where I live we have ancient train tracks that have been converted into bike paths. I'll take 35-mile rides on these paths, and it feels like navigating down a river --- the way the path takes you through woods and then past rivers and past residential streets, and houses in the woods, and downtown areas. It's like journeying on a river. The opening shots of this video remind me of that.
My only critique: the farm scenes around 5:40 have a strange white noise in the audio 'background' that misses the aural experience of a farm in the middle of nowhere: quietude. Don't mean to be critical, your work is a masterpiece - I feel like I'm in a time machine watching these restorations of yours. That's why I felt compelled to write something, because that little white noise took me out of the incredible time travel you created.
thank you very much ;)
Wow. That was incredible. The small town scenes, The countryside. The men posing in front of the camera. I could almost smell the hair grease and the cigarette smoke in their clothes.
NASS another great trip back in time. 👍Any chance you could do some of those WWII aerial combat reels that the recoil of the machine guns vibrates the camera so bad that it's hard to watch?
Oh God what a beautiful video is this.... wonderful country with very green,the people you thought how speak to you....the faces .. yet and the sounds....the walking of the people the sounds of their shoes.. excellent, excellent, excellent ❤️👏🌹😍🌷👄💕
thank you so much
Hi Elina how are you?
I live near KC union station, thanks for this
Love ur videos 👏👍🙏
thank you so much
Wow. It is just amazing how you have transformed these vintage clips into the appearance of current videos. Unimaginable is the word for it....but you did it and I am grateful for all the time and effort you invest. Outstanding !!!!!
Thx ;)
A great effort to colorize old videos.
Awseome....one place I grew up as a kid....another spent my teenage years in....thanks.
Fantastic video interesting enjoyed any more?? 🤔👍
A much simpler and peaceful time!!!!
Hi Melinda how are you?
Respect taking their hats off just like when a wamen were walking by it's unbelievable how things have changed
Your videos are incredible!
I'm working on a project and would like to use some of your video clips to illustrate the narrative, is it ok to use it? Your channel will be in the description of each video
I love to see video and picture like this
Love the small city views of Council Grove ,KS. Apparently nicely combed and styled men's hair was the in thing back then.
I love theses videos. You almost feel you're there back in that time. It could almost be today the way people just go about their business in such an ordinary way just as they do today. It's only really the fashions & old cars that give it away. I think the movies that depict those times give us almost a false image of things but these make it so much more real & normal.
my evaluation of this footage is that in retrospect, not much has changed in the last 100 years. (other than humanities disconnect from itself) sure things change, but things also stay the same. fantastic footage as always NASS
Very nice made. Please do Amsterdam next time ;)
Amazing
Finally, the Midwest!
GREAT VIDEO SUPER NASS SUPPORT FROM CROATIA
Amazing to see how my nearest Union Station and ATSF tracks looked like about 100 years ago
I remember when I was a little boy in south Texas and we were in a pharmacy and everytime a lady walked in the men would stand-up
Hi Joe how are you?
00:51 The Liberty Memorial. I had no idea it was so old. Just found out it was built in 1926.
It’s like another world amazing to see how people lived years ago wish I could go there to experience what life was like then
Interesting video from railroad too lots of 20s cars fashion of the time and farming life back then great quality too Nass.
Great!
Grande trabalho você faz! What a great job you do.
thank you so much
Close to 100 years ago! Basically have the same technology we use today. Auto, electricity, running water and wearing modern style clothing. Only thing I miss... automatic transmission...
Amazing video. Can you please make one of these for 40s/50s/60s Sofia, Bulgaria? thanks
NASS......I dont know what kind of magic you do to these old films ...................but I'm sure glad that you do it. Thank you!!!🥰🥰🥰
Thx ;)
