Taft was President, Teddy was seething and Gifford Pinchot was right in the middle of it either just fired or about to be... interesting times...

Very few bare headed men................or women for that matter............even the kids had caps on.

So it has been a schit hole for over 100 years.

Lee

Guessing you have never been there.

Yeah, it is crazy in a lot of ways, but there are a lot of very interesting things to see and do, even for a hick.

Bunch of poor suckers just like us. Trying to get by with a decent life.

Trying to build post count?

Post count pig.

What he said!

I thot it interesting. Sorry you dont. Oh well, does it really matter Sitka, in the whole scheme of things.



Age old story.
Bunch of poor bastards like us, trying to get something out of a short time on this earth, and a few asswholes. You live a little and then you die. Some throw flowers along the way and some throw turds to make their day.

Yeah. Maybe a little less of a schitthole back then, but still a schitthole.

Ah, someone else bent on receiving a lemonade and making a lemon...

Cannot imagine anyone with an outdoor bent not being blown away in the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. I have spent almost two whole weeks there and could spend another month and still find amazing things daily. The Museum of the American Indian is another.........

Go in looking at all things negative...

It is worth a look...

With the exception of the men doing manual labor, everyone was walking around in a coat and tie.

No fatties.

Like being in Afghanistan today. They are so far behind.

Nah, you have it confused with Michigan

Funny the car with right hand drive, must have been from UK. We're US made cars always left hand drive?

In 1969, I saw and rode in, a 1953 Chevy with the steering on the right. In Thailand. miles

Your probably right, one trip to Detroit and you would be jaded about big cities too

I'm leaving Afghanistan in just a matter of hours for New York. I'm ready to get back to the US.

The Greatest City in the World

Have a safe flight.

Some good trotters in this Paris vid and some good unicyclists too.

With the speed correction they've done part of what Peter Jackson did with "They Shall Not Grow Old" to make it more life like. Taking the time (and expense) to also colorize it would add another whole dimension to it so we could really see those people as they were which, except for the way they dress, isn't much different at all from folks now.

Have a safe trip and a big Welcome Back!

I truly rich time it was. i time of peace and lots of sensible people.

Colorizing was not too hard to develop and get very close to right on. Every color and shade has a corresponding gray shade.

Right around 4:40, the first recorded "dumping coal" on a pedestrian......

Read it on the campfire. Must be true.

Welcome home!

That Flatiron bldg is kinda neat,right near Madison sq park.Cool Italian market right there called Eataly, even a pub on the roof.
You can get fish,pasta,pizza,coffee ,and many other things,very cool place

But amazing footage, tks.

That was my grandparents' world, fresh off of the boat from Ireland moved to Brooklyn.

or big fat grotesque bellies.

Was just there in May. Amazing market. I've never seen anything like it.
It took us two days to get a reservation at the rooftop restaurant........and then we had to settle for lunch.

Stayed in Mid-Town for a few days coming and going to Africa.
I hate big cities and was not looking forward to it....... But I had the time of my life.
Can't wait to go back.

Women dress the Party, would be easy to spot prostitute from other women.

The lack of diversity is upsetting , cry/sob .

tikka77 is it your phone/computer or is english not your first language .

Smoking women but no women smoking.
