    Born in Richmond Indiana on August 24, 1958. My mother was 14 in 1938, she lived in Connersville. During the war she was a ‘Rosie the Riveter.’

    Mostly ghosts now these vibrant lives. Their world is gone, thoughts, dreams and fears. Time took them all and what with them is done we can not say but we have this film to save the day. 'Remember Us' it seems to say and so we shall. 'Rest In Peace' now on our way.

    I like the hairstyles of this era! Notice how well dressed the people are! No torn up clothes, no tattooed covered creatures. It’s hard to believe that nearly everyone in this video has passed except for maybe the children. They’d be in their 90’s if still with us.

    It is amazing to see people touching each other. We have become a cold culture.

      I agree, History was always my favorite subject. I worked in Richmond at Perpetual Recycling Solutions now known as DAK Americas, a plastic bottle recycling company, I was a lead operator for about a year. It was a nice little town! The construction was quite annoying though.

    1938! Benny Goodman era a Orquestra número um do País onde em 16 de Janeiro desse mesmo ano realuzou o Primeiro Grande Concerto de Jazz/Swing no Carnegie Hall de Nova York e Bing Crosby era o Rouxinol da América!
    Também em Setembro de 1938, GLENN MILLER realizava as primeiras gravações com a Orquestra que se tornaria célebre até os dias atuais!!!

    Dang. Crossing the street was kinda sketchy back then. Looks like car traffic had the right-of-way instead of pedestrians.

    Downtown looked very busy and everyone was well dressed, lots of autos driving around even though the 1930s depression wouldn't end until WW2 started.

      The men were all working so the women would have money to shop, some things never change.

    You know it’s summer or spring because nearly everyone is wearing white shoes! Come spring, self-respecting people put away their dark, winter clothing and accessories and wore light colors. Come fall, they’d switch back.

    Richmond? With no black folk? Really?

    • @mariekatherine5238
      @mariekatherine5238 Год назад

      Yes, a very few. Remember, this is 1938 so the Black people were on the other side of town. If anyone had filmed there, there’d be almost no White people.
