@@jenniferboyle2865 I guess, being European, I don’t understand that 300 years is historic. America’s historical marvels are geological and of an indigenous nature. Having said that, it’s an awesome country full of positive, hard working people. ❤️🇺🇸
@@Whippy99 A building does not have to be 300 years old to be historic, I’m from the UK and we have plenty of buildings of historic interest. Some only built in 1920 and 30s.

Just what I thought! I don’t know much if anything about NYC but I do know about the old Penn Station! The only thing I know about it is when my son and I took my first and still only train ride from Albany to NYC the last year of the old Yankee Stadium. Penn Station was really ugly!
Sadly I find most things these days can’t hold a candle next to the designs of the past. We’ve moved from things of beauty to things built as cheaply as possible.
Yes, I saw the Buick too, it cannot be earlier, the Buick is a 1951 or 52. It could be later but I doubt later than 53/54, the Buick looks kind of new.
Considering the Coca-Cola building in LA, all kidding aside I was expecting to see at least a remnant of a homeless encampment 😮. All in all a great collection as always. I liked the WW1 trench photo most of all 🙂

The Kansas city photo near the beginning looks like it was taken between 1935 to late fifties just going by the style of clothing that the people are wearing , so as almost 90 down to seventy years ago the original photo was taken .
The New York in 1957 & 2021 photo description is inaccurate. That girl is from the 1970s. The clothes and hairstyle are very wrong for 1957. And the Los Angeles Coca-Cola building one is mislabeled because those style of traffic lights didn't show up until later.
AS A FORMER OCCUPANT OF BRISTOL, THAT PHOTO IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS, HOW THE HELL , HORSE DRAWN CARTS GOT UP--OR DOWN THAT COBBLED HILL, MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD COLAPSE IF SOMEONE SNEEZED.
Not sure if I am alone in my thoughts, but that first tower, my first thought was "when they rebuilt it, they didnt even try to make it like the original....." I mean, its "mostly" the same. But some key things are noticeably missing as well. But then again, how old is the tower? 500-800 years old? At what point in history should my mind place an attachment to in regards to that building. Its likely had many faces over the centuries, my silly ideas of how it should look based on a 100 year old picture are definitely not the entire story that the building has to tell. Its literally a snapshot in my mind. Does anyone else have a hard time seeing pictures that only show a fraction of the buildings life, but yet still think "why cant it be like it was supposed to be"......when all we are seeing is a picture of it after centuries of it enduring many, many things? I know its silly. I am thinking too much about it. Much better the buildings be preserved, I guess its just my inability to accept the passage of time, maybe?
The El Tovar Hotel was where Clark Griswold realized he lost his wallet and stole all the money out of the cash register before taking off without paying the bill.

So many before and after where there were beautiful old buildings, and they’re not there anymore. Some replaced with so called modern buildings and others with nothing there at all! 😮 didn’t like this at all.

I just love the. Music playing in the video. I could listen to that kind of music all night and day. The pictures were great too.
Me too, I was going to post a comment about the music, when I saw someone had beaten me to it!
This computer blues on an endless loop is the purest nightmare . For me as a musician this is unbearable !
Fascinating. Always appreciate it when the photographer makes the effort to try and take the picture from the same spot as the original.
Ice always melts it even melted in the ice age. That is how we got Oceans and Seas etc.

What happened to Architecture? There's hardly a single modern building that can hold a candle to ones from the past.
Demoralization.

Poland seems to be the only Country that rebuilt as close to the original buildings as was possible.

Wow, I love this! Thank you!!❤
You're welcome!
4:29. How weird! The old building now seems to be under cover! Love these before and after photos! 😊
I noticed that myself, in the first photo it's completely outdoors and in the second it looks like it's in some kind of a shopping mall almost?

Two different locations.

Main Street became surplus to requirement once suburbs and shopping malls started.
Looks like it was leveled.
I really hate when the end of a video is covered with ads for more videos.
In just about every picture the modern picture showed decline.
Good video, good blues. 👍
Time has moved forward; architecture has done the reverse.
Great video. 👏👍
Wonderful! I love the music-especially the bass!!
The picture of Oxford looks like you've just colourised the original. Everything is still the same, including the tree. 👍
It's like time stood still for the Coca Cola building in Los Angeles @ 2:42. Even the trees are the same exact height. 🙂
Really interesting video--well put together. Thank you!! I enjoyed this a lot (though it is rather sad how "ugly" most modern architecture is)
well they really downgraded that Elbbrucke bridge in germany
Thank-you for confirming what I suspected. The buildings behind looked different as did the gradient.
Sad evidence that culture, heritage, and soul have been receding as fast as the glaciers
7:37 Incredibly even the tree in the centre of shot is around the same size and shape.
I'm still mad that the old Penn Station was razed and replaced with that eyesore!

Kansas City - years unknown, but the exact times are known.

It's Colston Avenue in central bristol.

Color makes a lot of difference
6:30 The Hill Walley from Back to the Future was much nicer
❤❤Amazing pictures ...some so sad😢 The human race has a lot to answer for ...not a lot of improvement .🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
At 1:43 Kansas City years unknown there is a clue. The Buick on the left is from the very early 1950's.
Yes, I saw the Buick too, it cannot be earlier, the Buick is a 1951 or 52. It could be later but I doubt later than 53/54, the Buick looks kind of new.
0:06 "a German city" is Freiburg im Breigau (Martinstor)
What happened to Kansas City? They nuke it or something?
It's not the same location in the two photos.
Considering the Coca-Cola building in LA, all kidding aside I was expecting to see at least a remnant of a homeless encampment 😮. All in all a great collection as always. I liked the WW1 trench photo most of all 🙂
Thanks Donald, Glad you loved the video!
