I have to ask, where did you acquire all these video clips?
This is mind boggling. I grew up there in the 50's and 60's and this is the closest thing to being there I've ever seen!
The 30s in boring
How was Florida back then compared to now?
Thank you for welcoming us into your world. Calming me away from my present issues and my life flashbacks.
Wow this looks like the future...its like looking at the world years after I died!!
Speaking of the future check out the drone at 1:06
Definitely Central Avenue St Petersburg. Lived there all my life. My sister worked at that McCrory’s. We were known for all the green benches along the sidewalks.
Pause it at 6:15. The sign on the corner shop reads “St Petersburg’s Oldest Music Store”.
I knew this was the bay area, but couldn't tell if it was Tampa or St Pete! (i'm from Gainesville)
Thanks...I'm guessing WW2 era....others say after the war. What do you think?
@@topgeardel I think about 1946.'47. What's nice is that most of this still looks very much the same especially the McCrory's, Kress store block on Central Avenue,Saint Petersburg.
@@OSTARAEB4 Funny...I have gone to Florida since I was a kid. Never actually drove into downtown St. Petersburg. But, looks great but not what I expected. Guess I was expecting palm trees.
James Doolittle ... So you went to NEHS? Yes, “Central” had a very different connotation back then. You wouldn’t recognize downtown now. It’s quite the hangout. Micro brewery on every corner, scooters and bikes everywhere, and an explosion of apartment complexes.
It's easy to find videos of historically important events. It' s harder to find slices of everyday life where the people aren't playing to the camera. I love to see stuff like this.
6:15 the E. Allen Pianos states its 'St. Petersburg's Oldest and Most Complete Music Store' so there's a giveaway of where this is.
correct...... it's E. Allen Music Store, 670 Central Ave (corner of Central and 7th), St. Petersburg (you can google and find a newspaper clipping from 26th September 1943)
I also saw our iconic green benches along central ave and one had Kress written on it. Pretty sure it's in front of the Kress bldg. 3:35
Good eye.
You literally just copied someone's earlier comment. Pathetic.
Cool; I was wondering.
This is pure escapism...nearly eighty years ago but the images are so alive . Would be great to be able to step into the screen and be there . Impossible of course but this is the next best thing .Absorbing 🤗
I'd never come back if we could.. the world is going to shit now.
@PATH LIGHT TRIPWIRE That cars were mostly dark although they had no air conditioning is the incredible thing. They must have been sheer baking ovens.
@PATH LIGHT TRIPWIRE Do you mean to say that it also became (or still becomes) hot in U-boats, especially when they move(d) at the surface of the water, given the darkness of their hulls? You indeed will have to assume it. One of my grandfathers has commanded a German U-boat in WWII, but I never have heard him reporting about anything like that. He mainly seems to have been on his way in colder territory (sinking two American ships off Norway). For him, the headache began when he and his comrades were hunted with depth charges. He has described such a situation as a psychological descent into Hell.
@PATH LIGHT TRIPWIRE I'm not fascinated with German spies of WWII, just as little as with the German U-boat commanders of that period. Such spies for my taste are too little stylish. They all remind me of that so unbelievably nauseating new German cannibal, Armin Meiwes.
I would go back to that time in a heart beat, any thing is better then this digital world, and land of speak right.
I grew up there also. My dad co owned the appliance store ( Todd Hyatt) next to the music store at 6 th and central. They had a guy playing the piano every day at the entrance to the music store. My uncle Wade owned the barber shop on the other side of Central near BB’s lunch counter. Great memories!
I see that Todd Hyatt Frigidaire appliance store and themusic store at 6:15.
For 8 minutes and 3 seconds I was in car heaven!
I agree ! Just love those cars..
If if was after the war, it would have been great to see some guy in a 32 hot rod!
@@smokeyray5017 Such a scene can be seen in the great movie "The Best Years of Our Lives" when three soldiers return to their hometown after being discharged. I watched it only a couple of weeks ago on RUclips, but when I checked it out today for when exactly that scene occurs the video had been removed due to a copy-write violation. Oh well, just goes to show, enjoy a great movie on RUclips while you can because it might not stay there for very long.
It's so odd to see these cars that to me are icons to be treasured being used in the same way I use mine.
First build a time machine. Then acquire a large warehouse that was built before that time. Then go back in time with gold, convert it to currency and look for cars to buy. You'd lose on the exchange rate for the price of gold back then, but you'd be buying high value cars dirt cheap. Now fill up the building with cars, then return to present and have a building full of amazing cars. At least it might work if your family owned the building the whole time and you could explain to your great grand dad why he must make sure the cars stay in the building for the next 80 years.
Phenomenal... St. Petersburg was a “new” city at this point, only a little over 50 years old. About 75,000 people lived there when this movie was made. Despite the massive growth in the following years, downtown is still semi-recognizable. Gotta love the complete lack of road markings, no traffic lights, it’s kind of a “free-for-all”. Everybody looks great too, all fit and well dressed.
St Petersburg is so beautiful
Now THAT was really neat and fun to watch! It really makes you feel like you're part of that time period! Thank you for posting.....
🙏
Even though I live in a country area of Australia I never tire of watching these videos. They are absolutely brilliant and really does show you a different world of motoring in a different time.
This is amazing...my grandmother in the early 40s met her future husband in one of those soda fountain type places in St Petersburg during WW2...he was in Airforce. She passed away a few years ago at 99...man I wish I could have shown her this.
Lovely story! If only we could meet our future spouses by getting off our asses these days. Everything is on dating apps...and going up and talking to people randomly like that is considered weird at most places unless you're at a bar.
I think that cop you see at 2:48 started to come after him after he finally started his motorcycle! I wish we we saw what happened next!
maybe they had a permit, and he was already up the road to direct traffic.
Those ole kick starts back then! Walt
@@waltman333 U can buy these old motorcycles if u have cash ;)
This latest instalment by you is a gem, a real beauty, I watched it 4 times in a row... loving your work a lot. Keep it up,
thank you so much 🙏
@@NASS_0 it's wonderful to see people wearing clothes for a change !!
Can hardly wait for your next project.
I can't believe this is St. Petersburg.. It looks so incredibly different. I looks like a much larger, grander city up north. If there were no palm trees, I'd never believe this was Florida.
This appears to be a "background plate" made for rear projection in motion picture production. Many of these survived and are of historical interest because they are long.
Thank you NASS for allowing me to enjoy some 1940s sunshine!
thank you so much 🙏
The park benches in the video were all green in St.Petersburg downtown. In the 40s and 50s St.Pete was the place to go when you retired. After a meal at Morrison’s cafeteria you would go outside to sit on a park bench to watch the world go by. Don’t forget to stroll down to the Million Dollar Pier and watch the fishermen and the pelicans.
Fished off that ole pier for shark about 1958
@N Diesal It happened.
Make sure that you saw the '40 Ford Pick-up with the U.S. Mail sticker in the passenger side of the front windshield. From the amount of business I would say it was 1946-47.
we thank you for providing us with this nice remastered video.
Thanks to those people who drove around recording these videos. Makes one wonder, there's someone out there doing it today..to be seen decades later...
I love these trips back in time.
You should watch the 60fps remastered new york from 1910. It's a trip!
Notice the kid in the middle of the street on a tricycle, at 6:26
Thanks for the great videos, greetings from the Netherlands.
NASS, thank you so much for taking the time to restore these films and add the music and everything else that you do. These are so fun and exciting to watch. I have to disagree with you, however, that your colorization is not historically accurate. I am a huge history buff with a strong interest in this period, and from what I have seen, you have done an amazing job in capturing the aesthetics and color of this time, right down to the color of the cars to the people's clothing. Even if not 100% perfect or accurate, you have done an incredible job in what I know is not an easy task. Thanks again, and I can't wait to see more of your videos!!
thank you very much it makes me happy to read your comment 🙏
@@NASS_0 :)
Fabulous! Thank you for posting. The car next to the 40 Buick in the opening scenes looks like a 34 Lafayette. The camera car was obviously burning a lot of oil.
A LOT...
nah, just a little bit
Videos like this one are priceless. The HD is terrific.
Another awesome video! Such a huge mix of cars with older and newer models. I will be watching this one many times just like I did with the others! It was kind of funny how the cop was getting impatient at that red light.
By the cars seen here and there, it appears to be around 1947. I can only imagine how grateful those people on the street were to have the War done with. First nearly 10 years of a depression then nearly 5 years of rationed goods and unsettling war news every day.
Thank you for posting this.
About to get caught up in the "Korean Conflict/Police Action."
I wonder if the time frame is still WWII? The headlights of the cars still seem to be divided in half (horizontally) which was a requirement during the War. You may be right, though, because even though the dividing line appears, the upper half of the headlights appear not to be blocked, as was required by the War Dept during WWII. Possibly this line is just a *remnant* of the war.
@@wordcarr8750 There were any number of “leftovers” from those previous lean years and, as you mentioned, the headlight lines were one of those. Good observation.
The camera man did a fantastic job here. At the end it looks like they were using a dashcam
Exactly, the original dashcam models that came packaged with a man to operate it!!
Downtown St. Petersburg... wow, just amazing. I have spent a lot of time on Central Ave. over the years. It's so cool to see this footage! Thank you for posting it.
I bet the people in this video never thought they would be immortalized by a technology known as the "internet".
Thank you very much Nass this video is very beautiful

I’d guess 1946. Still lots of pre-war cars on the road, with only a few “new” ones.
1946-1947 later than...
The Newest Ford I saw was a 1946 model.
I was thinking about the same... also no one in uniform. The dresses are too short to be pre-war, but not long enough to be late 40s.
This is St.Petersburg Florida Central Avenue . I grew up there and remember a lot of those old shops & green benches etc. No trolleys though born after that . I kept looking hoping to see my parents or grand parents downtown. Thank you for sharing this video it brought back a lot of memories as Downtown St.Pete has changed dramatically.
Thanks for posting these. These are awesome. I love old color footage. It's much better than black & white, although black & white films technically are in color, just not all of the colors. Hope you can keep posting more of these.
I’d like to comment on the colorization on this and other NASS videos. To me it’s perfect, especially on the cars. Some of the cars even show surface rust coming through weathered paint. It must have taken a long time to colorize these vids. Beautiful.
It's St. Petersburg, Florida. Don't know why it's not in the description.
This is great, it's like time traveling, I loved the 1930's truck that had a US mail sign in the front window , all of the ladies were wearing pretty dresses, I haven't worn a dress in 2 years. Itd be neat to time travel there and go shopping at a few of the Department stores. Thanks for sharing, this was awesome!😊
🙏
Can't be later than 1946 I reckon. Mostly because the streetcars are still there, which they would scrap soon after, along with most of the track.
Pants made women equal with men. During the winter it must be really cold with dress.
Great job, thank you for this!
Greetings from Switzerland :)
thank you so much 🙏
I'm so addicted to these old movies! I don't know why but I love seeing these little slices of people living their normal life from so many years ago. It's fascinating to me in some way to think we get to see just a small part of someone's life & probably the only filmed recording of them that still exists.
Giving you a like just for the MST3K avatar. 😎
Excellent. Could watch these all day 😍
i don't know where to start. there is so much going on in these videos that it is virtually impossible to just comment one time. the more you watch them the greater your desire grows to escape into those good old times. if you like revisiting these cultural periods and places, then videos like these will certainly provide you a way to leave this reality and runaway back in time to a place where people had a different lifestyle, cultural values and morals; take a good look at the streets, they are clean, there are the famous department stores like woolworth, traffic officers at every corner, cars follow the rules, people dress neatly, it was more peaceful and decent back in those days. watching these videos also is uncanny, you feel like you are there, you are able to live in the early 1930s 1940s 1950s all over again, and if you happen to be born post 2000s, then you are now able to travel to the 20th century and experience what it was like back then when your grandparents were alive, assuming that they are no longer living that is, luckily for many these videos are also documentary films that speak a lot about the culture of the 20th century, we are now entering the new millennium and already 22 years have passed since, time flew so quickly, 22 years and many of you can still remember when year 2000 happened! it is the same thing looking back at the year 1900 when it happened and then watching the first 22 years passing by quickly and then 1922 back then it seemed all new and fresh and young, it was the reality of that generation which also experienced a great pandemic starting in about 1918 till about 1922 and even further and then the prohibition period of the 1930s and the great depression. so to those persons living in that period that was their time to live. and by comparison you viewers on youtube now it is your time to live! 2022 will soon become history, and yes future generations will look back at your culture in awe and shock, studying and observing your very moves, how you dressed, what places and cities were like, the kinds of business and cars and things that you developed and the traditions manners and rules that you lived by. they will look back and wonder how life was like in those days, and that time my friends will be just around the corner in the year 2099 entering 2100 and till it hits 20122, a hundred years from today to be exact, a time when many of us will not be around any longer. yes these videos are also full of joy insamuch as they give you melancholy and to some extent they offer some hope, for in the end it is all about "preservation" of our human heritage through digitized technologies. Happy new year 2022 everyone! God bless you all. and thanks NASS for all the great wonderful things that you do to make us feel happy.
Also when the cars stop I also kinda like the clicking sound of the engine
This is more realistic than the effect they used for "driving" in movies from the era lol.
There is a lot of stock footage that was used in the movies for exactly that, Just look for videos like Hollywood Blvd 1957 ruclips.net/video/7LpPKAhW9-s/видео.html
Wow I thought you stopped making videos because it was so long for you to make another video thank you
7:05 On the L side of the street, X-Ray Shoes. They had a fluoroscope that x-rayed customers' feet inside the shoes to check fit. This was before they fully understood the health risk of radiation doses and reproductive risk of shooting it toward the gonads.
Wow ...at first I watch it on my cellphone ....once I got home... display it on 50" HD TV...just amazing ....
Thanks for posting it...
Though many here recognized this as St. Pete, I enjoyed playing history detective by researching the business signs shown in the film. It was the Hotel Alexander that clinched it for me…and the store with “Central” in the name. Absolutely love these restored film projects. Keep ‘em comin!!
..and what a coincidence, I was in St. Pete just yesterday to watch Indy Car qualifying for the St.Petersburg Grand Prix. Still a beautiful city.
So very awesome to watch. I felt like I had a time machine and went back to 1940. Thanks for sharing this.
🙏
Great quality. Good work.
Who were all these forward thinkers that did all this filming from the 1900- on up?
As mentioned above, many of these were filmed for use in the movies as backgrounds for characters conversing while traveling in a car...
Elegant lady driving at 5:14
^^
Yes, a suave-looking gal wearing dark glasses along with a fur-lined jacket - in St. Petersburg!
She looks like she is a girl driving
Another gem beautiful as always
🙏
That looks like DTSP. They pass the Belmont Hotel around the 4:10 mark. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
These street scenes could have been right out of the movie ..the best years of our lives..1946..Dana Andrews , Myrna Loy,Fredric March…..
Nass, You are surely one of the best, if not the best, in uploading vintage videos like these.It's almost unbelievable how fantastic your videos are !! You make it seem we are all right there with the video action. 5:13-5:30 you even have close up shot's of two ladies in seperate automobiles, one behind the other. The young lady at 5:14 almost seems to be man-hunting as she drives by primping her hair like that ! LOL. 5:23 lady walking down the sidewalk. Woof ! Baby! Woof ! Fantastic footage. Trolley at 5:58. Thanks.
The brilliance of this project is that it eliminates the otherness of the B&W era and we feel closer to recent history,the people walking the streets are as us.It is the nearest thing to time travel.Congratulations and Thanks.
these are the best video's and the most fun video's to watch your back in time for some minutes
Love your work. Thanks for posting. Amazing how vibrant the downtown was before suburban malls took over. Useful stores and variety abound. Last time I was there it was mainly bars and restaurants, which isn't bad but less dynamic to be sure.
Walgreen Drugs!! Who knew they would become one of the most widespread and essential stores in all 50 states?
The pace of life in this video/movie seemed so relaxed, so human, unlike present days' hectic, grinding pace. There were almost as many people in the calm streets as vehicles. It looked like the opening scene of a pastel colored noir mystery movie, and the cars were out of a Jay Leno dream. The traffic policeman wore a tie!
It's so startling that it is eerie. I swear it has more presence than 4k.
these cameras weren’t digital so technically they were higher resolution than 4k
Thank you nass, you´re great
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Even though it has been computer manipulated, the image quality is superb. The final output cannot give more resolution than was in the original black and white film. The film must have been of the highest quality available at the time. This is the 1940s and I'm genuinely impressed with this (80 years) old technology.
BTW, who was the twit who gave a thumbs down? Why on earth would anyone do that?
Really cool video 😊
Looks like Central Ave in St Petersburg, I saw the Rutland sign, the Hubert Rutland family was a St Pete icon family
Imagine that, some of these cars are still driving today, some are abondoned and rusty, but the most are scrapped and does not exist anymore.
Same with the people sadly.
7:02 The difference between those people crossing the road then and now ! Today they would all be obese .Even the cops thin, don`t see that now days .
I'm 49 years into policing (in Canada). I'm 68 years old and can still do 50 pushups in a row and easily run a mile or two. It's all about healthy lifestyle.
@James Doolittle for sure. Thanks.
KFC hadn't been invented yet.
Yes its the food industry… they lobby the government corn syrup
Most people seem to have trouble to smoothly and effortlessly move their limbs, in the video. I have throughout a few weeks lived without a refrigerator and largely on tins, and I soon began to develop that sort of difficulties. I hardly was able to hop up and down, any more. When I began to eat yoghurt and fresh fruit, again, the problems rapidly disappeared. I'm fairly certain a similar diet (much meat, vegetables from tins) will have been the cause of those people moving so awkwardly. That you today have more obesity is another problem.
It appears to be St. Petersburg, Fla., home of the Minshall florist and the Lester Bros. furniture store, shown in the video.
That's definitely St. Petersburg, Florida.
i lived in st pete for 5 years...they must have demolished that whole part of the city before 2005
@@railwayed nope
@@jamescorbell3349 The Pheil Hotel and La Plaza theater were both located on Central Avenue in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Pheil was recently demolished and the La Plaza operated between 1913-1953.
@@railwayed Oke my mistake🙈.
The bit at the end is Rutlands Department Store in St. Pete. Rutlands was on the north side of Central Avenue so that segment is heading west, away from the Tampa Bay.
Your channel is the time machine.
I love these movies from a great era. Humanity has lost so much over time . Society has turned to crap.
It wasn't our doing. We live in a scripted reality.
hahahaha. if you say so, the last time i checked world war 2 was about to kick off but humanity was so much better then wasnt it... dont forget how racist people were back then, oh shit they are still racist today .. i guess somethings will never change... hahahahahaaaaa,
I don’t think life was great back then either, A lot of racism, corruption, drugs, crimes that would go unsolved, degeneracy that would be hidden. I think we should think about the future and make it better. I do agree with you, society has failed in the US as a whole. We need to teach the youth to be respectful and well-mannered, they need some realism or they will make the next generation even worse.
This looks as if someone went back in time and shot this with a cell phone - AMAZING!
(I wonder why they shot this?)
not a single person standing in the middle of the street staring down on their cell phones...
Thanks for sharing, great to actually see the Birney Streetcars running, I believe they were replaced by buses around 1949. Birney cars were common in most small cities up until the 1940's. The Tampa Streetcar currently uses replicas. I used to hang out on Central avenue back in the 80's it was almost a ghost town at that time.
I hope you can make a video here of queens new york particularly forest hills
share please 🙏
Hi Nass - I sent you an email about licensing and never heard back from you. Would love to talk more about this!
Stop begging, it's pathetic and the constant ads to sub on screen is annoying too.
I love your videos. Please please make one of Saint Louis, Missouri, if you can. I’d love to see it from the past. ❤️
thank you so much 🙏
Great video, the Alexander hotel on Central is still there in St. Pete. :)
Fantastic video 👍👍👍
Hey folks, is that the same cop from Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" in 1960 where Marion Crane(Janet Leigh) was driving the 1956 Ford as she nervously keeps looking in the rear view mirror ? He must've motored across from Phoenix.
So very clear! I love it!
I love these videos because I'm a car enthusiast. My only question is who recorded these videos and for what purpose.
This is fantastic.kudos to the team responsible for this site.

I didn't know St. Pete's was that built-up at this time.
What? No security "grills" on the store windows? No homeless dozing on the benches? Women in summer dresses -- not yoga pants? No Starbucks? Those poor, poor people.
(Irony.)
No cell phones !! Thank God !! People actually looking ay each other...
And no tattoos either. Not that you could see anyway.
Ok folks the Time Machine is now taking reservations and will be departing for St.Petersburg ,Florida 1946…we will be staying in St.Petersburg for two days,so that you may explore the city,hotel accommodations are provided on this trip back in time 1946…please advise us if you wish to remain in this time in America or return to the year 2023……
Fantastic historic movie. Love the cars and the cool dude motorcycle cop at 1.30
Stunning stuff!!
how big or small was camera 🎥 1940 ?
and why was the Cop angry about the ,,late“ start from the camera Car ?
This is incredible! Do you know if this was Tampa, Orlando, or Miami?
If there is footage out there, could you do Orlando? It’s my hometown and I’d love to see it.
Everything looked so new, streets so clean, people dressed well, what have we done to ourselves??
