My Cousin was James K. Donahue, a well-known name in Baltimore. He was recognized for helping revitalize the Inner Harbour by bringing Car Shows and Boat Shows to the Convention Center. Mayor Schaffer awarded him the key to the City.
The TV story is really a blast from the past. Can anyone imagine fixing a TV now. ? I don't even bother with buying warrantees I just buy a new one. That goes for all electronics. By time it's broke there is a newer better one. Three years in a row I got a new LG because Everytime I checked them out they were better. No more remotes just tell it what to do. It's basically a giant computer monitor now. I however do remember when picture tubes were replaced.
Repairing the internals of the newer sets is quite easy. The problem is actually getting the set apart as the shell has tabs that click together, rather than being held together by screws. I've done repairs on the old CRTs in arcade games, before. But getting to those is quite easy. The newer LCD sets are a PitA because of how the outer shell works. Once inside, though.... the components are basically the same.
It’s neat pulling up the addresses from the videos to see how it looks today.. and picture the people in the video there today and wonder where their lives had taken them
I'm not even from Baltimore I'm a New Englander but I've been here for so damn long it's like all my life has been here so this history has become part of mine
@davidruffin9828+Oh yeah? I'm from Baltimore and I went to school up in New England, you people back then didn't know how to make people feel welcome!!!
Omg Jack Luskins the cheapest guy in town bro this channel is too much for me because I remember most of this I grew up in the 70s but become of age in the early 80s and Im a sucker for nostalgia however with so much family and homeys gone it can be painful real painful.. Thanx again for this channel
Good episode. I worked for Luskins it was a wild place. Towson store, I saw Jack a lot and found him to a good guy very devoted father. But yes He was the cheapest guy in town
Got damn, this new coverage seems like 2023 ! with everything they are talking about. It’s amazing how must of the Black Women WORE THEIR NATURAL HAIR 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yes they did, the 2 black women whom you saw talking about the crime and break-ins are personally known to me because Vera Johnson is a very dear family friend whom worked for housing together with Laraine Coates whom is my late sister whom passed away in 2009 due to illness but she and Vera Johnson were very close friends whom both worked for housing and always wore their hair naturally. Sincerely do love and miss my dear beautiful beloved late sister Laraine Coates so very very very much 😥💔 and may God continue to bless our very dear beloved family friend Vera Johnson and her loved ones always. ✝️🙏❤️
This is so beautiful auntie Vera. This is beautiful beyond words. May God Bless You your late dear beautiful sister Laraine Coates abd Ms. VERA johnson. ❤❤❤❤❤ This is beautiful!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤@@verahall6498
Just talked to my wife an hour ago about how gentrification in other cities displaced primarily black people but in Baltimore it displaced primarily white people. The waterfront neighborhoods that they moved into we traditionally poor white neighborhoods. Then I listened to this opening story and they were interviewing those folks I had just referenced.
8:45 they must’ve been doing something else that was illegal that was bringing in good money and no one knew so they played all happy about being downgraded in his games
Can't ride up the heights with an older head without them mentioning Luskins 😅
😂😂😂
Guilty
@@Baltimore-yv4mr 🤣🤣
Grew up on the street behind that Luskin's on Park Heights many moons ago.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The guy who owed the 7-11. I think he owned the 1 stop in Reisterstown.
and 40 yrs later the inner harbor is a no go again
I absolutely love this channel especially being from baltimore.
Same❤️
Oh aight blood!
but I was told diversity is our strength......
It's crazy to see this in retrospect.

Jack Luskin was my neighbor on Blackhawk Circle before he got Uber rich.

How long you have been living in Baltimore?
@davidruffin9828+Oh yeah? I'm from Baltimore and I went to school up in New England, you people back then didn't know how to make people feel welcome!!!
That was there LUSKIN'S...home of The Cheapest Guy in town?
7-Eleven had an arcade room back in the day, wow... Nowadays they have plenty of loitering without the entertainment lol
😂😂😂
I was born in the wrong era cos nowadays if 7-Eleven still had a section for two game machines, the store would have less robberies
@@MarloSoBalJr negative lol they would be stealing them out of there like they're doing ATMs,
Did anyone notice the guy in the blue t-shirt with the "Liquor in the front..." Too bad they didn't show the back. But even the front.....

This dude's shirt at 1:52. 😂
BG&E trucks, the way they used to be. Livery-wise. Of course BG&E was the premier such until Constellation destroyed it.

Nice to see old news from Baltimore, but it has gotten worse schools are in disarray, crime is off the heezy, and some neighborhoods are dilapidated.
Thanks
Democrats have destroyed many nice neighborhoods in the 80 s.
