So wonderful to see this video. My mother graduated from high school in 1937 I keep looking to see if I see a picture of her walking and shopping on Main Street
I saw the small IGA food store on the Promenade back then, I grew up from the mid 70's through the 80's in Richmond and IGA was a grocery store equal to any in that time.
It's crazy too that if you look at the silhouettes of the buildings there's a lot you can recognize as still there. Of course a pretty large chunk was taken out in the explosion, but there's still a lot of ancient history in Richmond. I lived in a underground railroad house, and a old carriage hotel during my time in Richmond. It was once the crossroads of America, and crossroads are significant in supernatural happenings. Jim Jones was a Richmond native, Charlie Manson wrote in one of his books that he wanted to move there, and Terry McNichols lived there shortly before the OK City bombings. I know a ton of super freaks before I hit the road for good.

@@noahholliday9761oh man I was thinking VA. This makes your comment make more sense if it’s MI. I want to visit the old cross roads now but from what I’ve seen it’s all build up and lived on now if the devil was making deals I think we’d know
Most everyone was dressed up to go downtown. I'm noticing a lot of white shoes, must have been before Labor Day. Not everybody was as stick thin as I thought they would've been, but still thinner than people today. Interesting to see the hustle bustle of the crowds.
It’s only a memory recorded on film. Can you imagine trying to explain what their future downtown will look like in the future . Sadley you could probably bulldoze most of these little cities right off the map without any real consequences .
Mostly, yes, but not all. The children could still be alive in 2022. My great aunt is 98, her sister, 96, as was Queen Elizabeth until yesterday. My father passed in January at 97 and two people in my community are 102 and 103, respectively.
Judging by the large number of flower prints, contrasting outfits, signs, architecture, I would think this video would be a good candidate for colorization. I've lived in Richmond Indiana for 27 years now and you can tell there have been drastic changes to the layout and backdrops of the cityscape. I found it somewhat difficult to place some of the not-so-obvious locations. After watching the people scuttling all about I decided that what I was seeing was likely a lot of sore feet. Shoes have come a long way in the past 80+ years! Of course the people were in much better shape from the neck down and probably had a lot of poor eyesight, partial deafness, undiagnosed illnesses, broken, rotten, missing teeth from the neck up. A lot of strong women and expressions that todays world may have seen as disgruntled or perturbed but was likely just less emotional or expressive than us 'future folk'. 🚎💈🎡🎢🏢🏚
"had a lot of poor eyesight, partial deafness, undiagnosed illnesses, broken, rotten, missing teeth from the neck up." Not when they were young and fit. And 1937 was not 1937 for "undiagnosed illnesses", at least not in urban areas.

I've been in Richmond since 1989.........I was 8 then.
Love this town. ❤

My home
Even back then they still walked slow across the street
I though all were walking briskly!

@cannabisreviewpdx2 in 1968 a large area of the downtown promenade exploded and killed 41 people. This is Richmond IN.

This must be Richmond, IND., not Virginia. Am I correct?
Everyone was dressed up to go to downtown.
Interesting…My grandparents used to live in Richmond during the 60’s. We would sometimes stay with them for a few days in the summer.
This is Richmond, Indiana, not Richmond Virginia
No it isn't!!!
my bad, I was wrong. Didn't realize our namesake looked so much like us.

The film is distorted and make people look wider. Otherwise, they were much thinner than the overweight and obese population of the USA now.
Nice, people made an effort to dress clean and stylish, time has changed.
I wonder if the roads were trash back then like they are now.
surely not.
This filmer is just Girl watching in 1937.
There are a lot more women than men in the film. It is not the filmer's fault!
Great footage. Too bad you didn't keep 4:3 aspect ratio. Black margins are not a deal breaker. Distortion is.
That was a good year !
Lol no it rlly wasent my friend

"Stubborn Love" by the Lumineers should be playing in this video
Main or Broad St? Cheers.
Richmond Indiana
Downtown Richmond was definitely more active back then---it's a dead zone now.
Dead as hell
Back when people had class and the cars were made of metal.
All of those young men were gonna be in WWII in a few years.
2037 is just around the corner.
I grew up here , glad i left
We're glad you did too!!
@@kudjoeadkins-battle2502 So was I , I did ok at life , MUCH better than my friends that stayed there
@@StabbinJoeScarborough my bad. I thought this was Virginia. I don't blame you for leaving Indiana at all. I apologize for saying that. Good for you.
Somebody was chick watching 81 years ago.
That's how it's done in Richmond lmao
Yeah, and if you're looking from the beginning they weren't wearing bras back then.
Oh Richmond in Indiana Lol.
It’s a shame that women rarely wear dresses anymore. Different times now for sure.
Not many fat people back then.
in spite of the camera distortion that makes them look wider!
Beautiful! No nickas!!! 😀👍🏻
Quiero más videos de Richmond no en fotos si no como este , donde la gente camina por las calles, no videos de fotos
A nation on the way up looks different from a nation on the way down.
👍
hmm, my grandma was born in 1917. She'd be 20 around this time.
NICE AGE!
All the women wore dresses.
They're probably all dead
Uh, yeah.
Mostly, yes, but not all. The children could still be alive in 2022. My great aunt is 98, her sister, 96, as was Queen Elizabeth until yesterday. My father passed in January at 97 and two people in my community are 102 and 103, respectively.
No. They're all still working at the cemetery
@@mariekatherine5238 freak cases. Look at the obituaries and note at what *average age* they die in the US: around 75!
1937! Ano em que GLENN MILLER formou sua primeira Orquestra e que não fez muito sucesso!
Very few hefty overweight people, unlike today.
no mcdonalds or taco bell or wendy's, etc.
The one lady’s top looked a little racy for the time period
Sooooo an entire video of chics crossing the street.

"had a lot of poor eyesight, partial deafness, undiagnosed illnesses, broken, rotten, missing teeth from the neck up."
Not when they were young and fit.
And 1937 was not 1937 for "undiagnosed illnesses", at least not in urban areas.
