Me too. My paternal grandparents were both born and raised in the Irish channel during this time. My grandfather on 6th street and my grandmother on Magazine Street.
@@pheddupp So cool! The shotgun house my grandma grew up in is no longer there, but the building where my great grandparents and grandpa lived is still there at the corner of Magazine and Jackson. His uncle owned a furniture store on the first floor.
my favorite movie hard target was shoot in new orlean.I am from ussr never been there.because watched movie so many times could recognize styles of the houses with balcony.
I love going to New Orleans. I’ve been there in the summer and winter. I don’t know how people could have lived there without AC in the summertime. It’s worst than Orlando.
Oh, what they did to the Old French Market, in the name of progress. Don't get me started on Canal Street! Once beautifully alive with the hustle and bustle of shoppers, people meeting for lunch, or just browsing, it is now a desolate ghost town of its former self. City officials seem to have laid it to rest. Sad.
@New Orleans Lady Maybe the numbers are lower, but I wouldn't say Canal street is a desolate ghost town. I work on Canal, and it's pretty busy everyday.
You're right, of course, Joshua. My strong sentimental feelings were comparing it to it's former self. I would guess that you are young and don't remember Canal Street in it's "hey-day". It was glorious. My first trip to Times Square brought me back to the way Canal Street used to be. I would love it if Canal Street could get back its original charm. Maybe it's nostalgia for this 68 yr. old Grandma. I can accept progress, but I don't see the present Canal Street as better.
New Orleans Lady : I remember when the movie "Paint Your Wagon"premiered at the Saenger Theater on Canal Street around 1969. My mom and dad got dressed up to go see it and she wore long white gloves and my dad wore a suit and tie.
I remember it well. That was the year of the two little girls murder and John Coffey. I was working at Cold Mountain Penitentiary on E Block. We called it the Green Mile. I never did catch that damn mouse...
Yeah. Back when New Orleans had no police and no jails. Boy, those were the days. My dad told me when he was a boy, in the 1930s, the only people in the French Quarter after midnight were predators and victims. Pretty civilized.
New Orleans was always a high crime city, throughout most if it’s existence…The Italian Mafia got its start in America right in New Orleans, the French quarter was once a ghetto, and it had murders even in the 1800s…it was a place that brought out the worst, prostitutes, pimps, gamblers, thieves, and gangsters.
I like to pretend I'm related to The Great Marginey De Mandeville But realistically as far as I'm concerned I'm just a Fan boy lol.🇨🇵⚜ But I proudly state Viva La Louisiane ⚜🇨🇵🎩

Old New Orleans and all that jazz... love Nola :-)
Such a trip seeing old footage of places I still recognize clearly. Except for the cars and clothes, it still looks pretty much the same.
I became curious with New Orleans 1930's because of my favorite character. I also love looking at old videos of people during that era.
Paris of America
How did people stand the heat? It is so sticky & hot down there. Galveston, where I'm from is no better. I love both!
In the 1930s, my grandparents were kids growing up in the Irish Channel on Magazine and Annunciation!

Watch Panic In the Streets
@ 2:17 look at the Notorious Iberville Projects back drop left.
Damn

And people wore heavy wool clothing and suits...
Thanks for putting music over this. Great video. ♥️
I wish I had some of those old cars now!
Awesome Video. Thank You for sharing.
It looks exactly the same today. It’s the one thing nola has done right…… preservation
"A Street Car Named Desire"...saw it.and the movie.

You truly care about your beloved city
A true orleanian⚜

The department stores followed the population to the suburbs; then the Internet killed the retail stores. Now Canal Street is hotels and condos
I love this city
Thanks,I can used that footage for my motion picture.
this is soooooo cool!
Beautiful .....
New Orleans jazz music. Great stuff.
Fabulous film!
Wow they had paved streets back then?!
Here is another from my family
1934 New Orleans, Banana Boats, Cemetery, Dr. Howard Wheeler and family in LA
Did anyone notice the 2 lady's sitting were hiding their faces
Love you Nola
This is just like 1930s Harlem😊
Looks exactly the same
in manila we had streetcar it look like streetcar in new orleans but they vall it tranvia
It definitely painted a more tranquil picture of a New Orleans that never existed - not ever.
I remember it well. That was the year of the two little girls murder and John Coffey. I was working at Cold Mountain Penitentiary on E Block. We called it the Green Mile. I never did catch that damn mouse...
You remember working in the 1930s. Are you over 100 years old?
Home movies? I do t think so. These are filmed by professional media and film companies ( intended for theaters and shorts).
back when you didnt have to worry about getting robbed or shot......back in civilized times
Yeah. Back when New Orleans had no police and no jails. Boy, those were the days. My dad told me when he was a boy, in the 1930s, the only people in the French Quarter after midnight were predators and victims. Pretty civilized.
Yeah when Blacks were treated as sub human, pretty civilized
The South... Hell No.
New Orleans was always a high crime city, throughout most if it’s existence…The Italian Mafia got its start in America right in New Orleans, the French quarter was once a ghetto, and it had murders even in the 1800s…it was a place that brought out the worst, prostitutes, pimps, gamblers, thieves, and gangsters.
@@bootbredda2724 The fact that people like you exist is disgusting
Weird to think that everyone in these movies are now dead....😳
Caligula19 lol funny... i said the same same thing on another old movie on youtube 😄 yes very weird all these people are dead even child!
No, the children born in the 20's to 30's, well, there would be people still alive from that age group!!!
Soon we will be dead and people from 2100 are gonna watch our videos
have French ancestors in your family ?
On my late mother Rosemary Schulte,s side.Nsmes such as Cambas,Dazet,Cornibe,Castay,Desbons.
I like to pretend I'm related to The Great Marginey De Mandeville

I'm just a Fan boy lol.🇨🇵⚜
