It’s amazing !!!! People having a conversation, laughing, Everybody’s looking at each other. No cell phones, no laptop. Now nobody looks at you they too busy, staring down at their cell phone, that’s what humanity has become.

Um….did you see the picture of the woman reading the newspaper? When I’m looking at my phone in public I’m reading one of many news papers or publications, that’s kind of how we do things now. It’s on my phone rather than a newspaper, so what?

@@sharonh2991 Except the woman isnt in a busy crosswalk or stopping at the top of the subway stairs while reading the newspaper. And shes aware of her surroundings and the fact that the world isnt just about her.

The music is very nice and goes with the video. Most videos are terrible about the music they have. Thank you very much.

Alot of the kids in these photographs would likely be alive today. Anyone ever contact you guys to say, "Hey, that's me!"

I first visited New York in 1975 and even then it was dramatically different to today. Creative people could afford to live in Manhattan which made the place much more vibrant.

Never been to NYC. But, if I had to pick a time it would be 50s, early 60s for Broadway and coffee shops and jazz.

I enjoyed the photo show and the snippets of everyday New Yorkers going about their business. In so many of these retrospectives of life during a different time, I do get tired of the commenters who only come on to whinge about how life was so much better in "their day". Just enjoy the show and keep your negativity out of it.

That scene that showed a streetcar was taken sometime until 1947 when the last streetcar line in Manhattan ended.

At 4:07 the bar scene, looks like Kevin James in the center of the screen! Maybe that’s the original King of Queens, haha

Thank you for sharing. There were problems then as well. It does look more family friendly than today’s NYC. I think gentrification did more harm than good. That’s just my opinion.

The picture of the guide taking a group of tourists on a walking tour is not 1956 because there is a 1959 Ford in the background.

Everything went to hell in the 15th Century. Before that there was no traffic, no smog and no Facebook. Then the 16th Century liberals took over. Next thing you know they’re inventing vaccines, masks, cars and internet porn. Now look at us! It’s all a mess.
