Great images, as usual 👌 I didn't know the Dakota building was that old. I only know it as where John Lennon was shot and by that point it's was obviously surrounded by large newer buildings. Interesting to see it like that!
Reportedly it was called "the Dakota" because it was built so far out of town (!!) There's an 1850s-era concert hall in the city where I worked years ago. I read that when it opened people complained bitterly that it was so far from the center of town. Now it IS in the center.
I would imagine, as in any age, some things were better … some worse. I don’t miss everyone smoking everywhere ( e.g. in restaurants and even airplanes) … but I do miss having conversations with people without them staring into their phones every three minutes !!

The photo appearing at 5:22 was not taken when the caption states; this was taken within the last 10-15 years of the Tennessee Valley Railroad's Engine 4501 on an excursion southward from Chattanooga, Tennessee. You want proof? Behind the bell and ahead of the smokestack is the mixing chamber for the feedwater heater, which was installed by TVRM within the last 10-15 years.
The chain makers at the end of this video are most likely Union Blacksmiths, plying their trade! I know because I did that kind of work for 30 years before retirement in 2017.
The alcohol Barrel Tower looks more like the 4th of July Bonfires that we had up on the north shore of Boston in Salem, Ma. In the 40’s-50’s-60’s. They were built by volunteers, made of barrels that were donated by the local leather tanneries. Having held lambskins from New Zealand, they were saturated with “sheep grease” (aka lanolin) and burned like candles. We’d sit on the park lawn on a blanket until after midnight enjoying the scene.
people complain today about the cost of living, but back then people were selling shoelaces on the street to survive. says a lot about the scroungers of today (not the genuine people who really need and deserve help ). life was so hard then, just to survive, no luxuries.
That UK television detection car was a dummy, there was no technology in it. It was just to pretend they could receive the telltale radiation from a cathode tube TV set. They couldn't of course, even if the BBC swore blind they could, but some people got frightened into applying for a TV licence anyway. Over the years different looking equipment was introduced with a huge complicated antenna that could be aimed in any direction on top of a van. But it was still all just a sham and still is even today. In fact modern TVs don't emit any kind of telltale radiation.
Living in UK i enjoyed the car with the detector on the roof looking for tv signals (supposedly 😂) nowadays (2024) people just dont pay the license fee
Reading some of the comments reminds me of the WOODY ALLEN film MIDNITE IN PARIS ...Each generation thinks the one before was a more acceptable AGE LOL
Well now you’ve got me thinking 🤔 … if that is a jet then you have a point … zooming in I’m wondering if it’s just a bird … kind of in a false perspective shot with its relation the buildings. Great catch either way
On 4:51, what does MMA stand for? All I can find when I Google MMA in 1900s is 'mixed martial arts". I love these historical photos but they sadden me when I think of how much we are ruining our earth, oceans, and how many animals are becoming extinct.
That sneezing woman... wasn't exposure time for photos still at least a few seconds long at this point? she must've done her best to hold it. I'm surprised mishaps like this arrived to us. The people involved must've seen the humor in it.
You know I hadn’t thought of that … exposures times were indeed long and a sneeze is one of the fastest things on earth … so this quite possibly is staged. Good catch 👍🏻
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Oh indeed that would make more sense if it was a joke to begin with! feels like the sense of humor of people from that time is underrated.

I can never escape the feeling when watching these is that someday in humanity's near future, we'll be gone, as observers reminisce of our existences.
You’ll be long gone before ‘we’ are gone.
Who will be the observers if we’re all gone?
Hope not. What a downer you are!
Heaven
Thank you for sharing these photos
Glad you like them!
Best group of old photos I’ve ever seen. Thank you 😊
Wow, thank you!
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos That's what I came here to say too! - the best
Just brilliant 👏

I lived three blocks from the Dakota for 3 years… walked by it every day … I loved this photo … before the hustle & bustle
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Wow. Cool place to spend a few years! Right in the centre of NYC

@@653j521 Cool - thanks for that info!
Love it, keep them coming.
Life has improved, yet how come I feel those in the pictures lived a far more abundant life??
I don't think so. More diseases, shorter life spans, unsanitary conditions, infant mortality...
I would imagine, as in any age, some things were better … some worse. I don’t miss everyone smoking everywhere ( e.g. in restaurants and even airplanes) … but I do miss having conversations with people without them staring into their phones every three minutes !!
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos My generation (I'm 77) doesn't stare into their phones, but it's probably the last generation that won't.
The next generation won't even have mobile phones, it will all be ocular implants or some such tech.

That alcohol tower was certainly something unique
😿😿
Zorita & Her Pet “SNAKE!!!” 1939😂😂😂 Notice No One’s Around Her!!!😂
I love to look at danger noodles but I'm terrified of them in their presence and I've been around some very venomous ones !!!
The mini skirt though 😅

Great music to go along with thoughtful photos.
Many thanks!
Mark, you just had to sneak one of those damn creepy Halloween pics in there, didn't you?
I can't help myself ....lol
Honestly, I think that I'm actually looking forward to them!@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos

And of course the huge aerial on the roof was a bit of a give away 🙄
@@MsCheesemonster13Just because you have an aerial doesn’t mean you have a TV .
Well, we still have the A&W stands out here, and it's not a bad place. Most of them are in NorCal though.
And Okinawa, Japan.
The train carriage interior was amazing, so much better than todays bland efforts
The Empire State Building I've seen few documentaries on it lot people lost their lives sad.
Google says 5.
Isn’t it strange over the last hundred years how far we’ve come it’s mind blowing considering how long we have been here
Life hasn’t got better ! It’s just got longer.
Harry Gardiner was properly dressed for his own funeral.
5:32 The last time ever that a Ford pickup waited for cross traffic.
🤣
Empire State Building was mostly Native American men
Russian Chess Players: something to do while you wait in the bread line.
Americans will wait in bread lines with cell phones in their faces.
How can you get a snake to walk like that I've never seen that before
I'm pretty sure to was just a promo shot ... at least I hope so ...lol

The trouble with A&W root beer stands is that they only serve Pepsi!!😮😊😊
When men had to actually labor by hand, not modern machinery
Reading some of the comments reminds me of the WOODY ALLEN film MIDNITE IN PARIS ...Each generation thinks the one before was a more acceptable AGE LOL
People were much tougher back then. and didnt need cell phones.
8:00 Looks like Dustin Hoffman.
I guess Harry Gardiner could have become the Human Pancake.
At 3:02 was that a time slip? 1922 and it looks like jet aircraft above the buildings
:
Well now you’ve got me thinking 🤔 … if that is a jet then you have a point … zooming in I’m wondering if it’s just a bird … kind of in a false perspective shot with its relation the buildings. Great catch either way
The photos of people hanging on skyscrapers are photo chops.
Обманщики фото изобрели в 1840 году , а здесь 1800 год как это понимать ?

It says the first mma so mma sounds right?
(It began there…two women punching,hair pulling…humerous
Yes will be gone!
I would have thoroughly enjoyed a ride on a 🚂 steam train 😁
I have a splendid idea. Why not sit in 30 below outside on concrete, its the best kind of chess playin weather!
🤣
Who is Zorita?
A burlesque dancer
3:15 there are NOT 10,000 people in that flag.
How many?
@@zyxw2000Looks like about 3-4
@@wymple09 Each dot is one person, viewed from above. You can see all the heads.
American flag 🇺🇸
Maude Odell was trans 😅
