    I was born in Springfield in 1949 and lived there until 1963. I went to high school in nearby Chicopee. I moved to California in 1969, and never went back. Yet, the weird thing about this video for me is how few of the buldings that you show here still even existed in 1950's. There are some that I remember from my childhood, but the Springfield that I remember in general looked plainer this. It seems that a lot grand buildings were replaced with those much less ornate even before I was born, but I'm at a loss to explain why this was even necessary. BTW, they planted a giant MGM Casino right in the center of downtown a few years which seemed wildly inappropriate to me, at least until I watched this incredible video.

    I recall street curbs being about a foot tall as a child. Stepping off a curb was something you had to take care doing. They have piled up the asphalt over the brick.

    I lived in Springfield from 1966 to 1977. I remember the department store Forbes & Wallace, Johnson's bookstore, the South Congregational church, the beautiful houses on Mulberry Street, the old cemetery, Forest Park and more. It was a lovely city back then.

    Atmospheric energy fluctuates, and the process of collection creates movement in the flow; the design of the electrode fins re-directs the flow back to the central electrode.

    The stone bridge is the railroad through downtown.
    The factory at 3:00 is Smith & Wesson
    If you are looking at the Municipal Building straight on, the "temple" on the right is City Hall and the one on the left is Springfield's symphony hall.
    The Connecticut Valley Historical Society was housed in the Daniel Wesson mansion (since burned and demolished).

    Wow, thank you for sharing this. At 3:47 Springfield Institution for Savings aka SIS Bank, had my very first bank account there. I can still see my lil bank book in my minds eye. That was in the 1980s. My hometown. My aunt graduated from Technical High School in 1982 or 1983. The Indian Motorcycle building was converted into condos/apartments as was Classical high school. Kimball hotel is still very much standing on Chestnut Street, its lux apartments. 18:06 that's still standing at least in 2015 it was, Mass Mutual Insurance Company on State Street across from Putnam Vocational High School. Springfield was called the City of Homes. The ornate architecture was everywhere, even in my lifetime. The city has let many areas just go to the trash, it's really sad. The Eastern States Exposition aka The Big E, it's in West Springfield, MA. There are houses there that represent each of the New England states. Full of history, foods from the states and more. I graduated from Central High School but not the old one in the photos. That was long gone. The new Central High is on Roosevelt Avenue. A lot of the older structures were still standing but have been badly damaged downtown when the 2011 tornado ripped through the area. A lot was lost. Good memories to share💕

    Forrest park was an inspiration for the famous children’s book author and illustrator Dr. Seuss he based the Lorax of the industrial part of Springfield. His dad worked at the small zoo within Forest Park. Hence why he gets all these ideas for animals from there. Mulberry street is an actual street in Springfield Massachusetts

    19:57 That's the modern day Union Station (or the artist's rendition of the plan) . They did a great job renovating it and making it a hub for Amtrak as well as city bus routes and regional bus lines. I've transferred buses there several times and sometimes I just sit there with a coffee and marvel at the decor . The old bus depot was real sketchy ... this one's clean, well lit and cameras every where. They shut down two streets around it and made them for buses only.

Could you do a video on Providence RI and Newport RI...passed through both in our way to Cape cod on a side trip...filled with grand structures and fall river, Mass, too. The Cranston street armory in Providence RI was astounding...took up a whole block! It is in danger of being demolished, I learned on researching it after the trip.

    Boy, you said a mouthful there kiddo! Who and what we are, And ! Have Been! All Along. Yes, I've been looking at this, for quite some time, and I'm not sure we have the genetic structure to remember who we are and have been. Yet, we the lowly people of this world could take it back in a breath, if we could only come together and decide what it is, fundamentally that
    "" We "" want. And then see only That ! As Our World. No Doubting! And in a moment, it would be so. That's how powerful We Are.
    That is why they keep is divided, that's why they try soo hard to get us to believe in their His - Story. I can't help but wonder if the ones who left before us, the ones who manifested these awesome structures, did they leave us with a way to correct ourselves ? At this point, we would need a magical potion or something to bring back those ghost DNA, which would make everything the evil ones do, Moot. And then we could watch them turn to Dust.
