Cool video

Wow!!!!

Wow, No trash. No road rage. No speeding. No cutting off. Turn signals. Courtesy driving. Using the passing lane the way, to pass. Beautiful roads.

Still doing beach grooming and recovery from the 1962 storm. The snow fences in the beach shots were an attempt to regrow the huge dunes that got washed away. I used to play in and among the dunes and bushes but after the storm everything was completely flat. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqmdjMWAr767fpc.html

Look the same

Cool

The Cape May Ferry started on July 1, 1964. It will turn 60 next week.

When does the Newcastle avenue video come out ?

Is this clip showing the Indian River inlet beach and campground just north of Bethany?❤

This was back when local and Federal government used to operate relatively quickly, efficiently and at decent cost. The men who built this bridge were most all good men. Nowadays in 2024, I can't imagine the trouble, costs and political hurdles of simply building a bridge over the Delaware river

Rare footage of our past. Thanks !

I love this film very much. I have a mint Kodachrome 16mm copy in my collection, too.

I do love viewing these photos!🎉

I have no idea where they're at because of all the text over the location names like the "subscribe" bubble.

Compared to today, this is cursed.

Vacationed in Fenwick Island during the '50s and '60s in a small cottage on W. Va. Avenue. Rode down with Dad some time after the storm to see how things looked. Our little cottage was still there but the Sand Dune Motel on the oceanfront was totally obliterated. Sand and tractors everywhere for a long time; I especially remember those giant orange earth movers running up and down the beach all summer afterward; to a nine year old boy they looked like monsters! I see on Google Maps now the marshland in Fenwick is fully developed. EVERYTHING is developed! I thought that wasn't supposed to happen? The tranquility and beauty of the coast is long gone. Now in North Carolina I've no interest in returning to Delaware or god forbid Ocean City, Md.

Who’s watching this, me😎

So this drive lasted 20 years?

I bet old Joe Biden was his neighbor and played ball with him and was part of the family, right 😢

My mom was an RN at Wilmington General then!❤❤

I love the Cape May Ferry!❤

I feel like the 1950s were only good for white people

Awesome video and footage!

Great video thank you

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

My grandfather worked with him at the old Chrysler plant in Newark

So many people died on that street only if y'all knew

A DELDOT highway accomplishments film your tax dollars at work There was a lot of focus on the 13/40 split Kids Exxon used to be Esso

Everything was so beautiful back then. I wasn't around until the 70's, but America was still beautiful until the 90's. Now I don't even recognize the city I grew up in. It's like being in a foreign country.

Awesome to see the hollywood motel in its prime. No matter how run down it gets that sign always makes me smile. This film looks to be from about 1957 judging from the cars

I knew Bob Marley and he hated that park

That last part if the video was the offramp leading to US13 South........that road looks like 141 heading towards Penn Mart shopping center, George Reed Middle School and William Penn HS.

See how calm everybody drives. You don’t see no road rages back then. What the hell is going on with our society I wish I would’ve been born back then everything‘s a crisis nowadays. I’m back then you could live on only one wage like it still should be. Inflation was next to nothing. Your dollar went a lot further.

As a life long resident of De, I have never heard this before . but I guess because it's Wilmington which is just a suburb of Philly .

as a DE resident when I was a kid I would tell people this and no one believed me, we also had one of the female munchkins from The Wizard of Oz and many other wild characters and my Great Grandmother knew them all

I grew up knowing this. I think he worked for GM also

NewArk, Delaware

I live in Delaware all my life and Wilmington is a very bad place especially if you have children to much drugs and violence

Delaware! The First State! Tax-Free Shopping! Aubrey Plaza!

Have you ever run a marathon?

One Love💜

I hear he used to work at Grottos Pizza as young kid as well

My bro worked with him at Chrysler and use to cop big bags for him!

…. I lived on 8th street two blocks from the hospital for 3 years and never knew this 💀

The September 11 attacks, commonly known as 9/11,[e] were four coordinated Islamist suicide terrorist attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda against the United States on September 11, 2001. That morning, 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners scheduled to travel from the East Coast to California. The hijackers crashed the first two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, two of the world's five tallest buildings at the time, and aimed the next two flights toward targets in or near Washington, D.C., in an attack on the nation's capital. The third team succeeded in striking the Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense in Arlington County, Virginia, while the fourth plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania during a passenger revolt. The September 11 attacks killed 2,977 people, making them the deadliest terrorist attack in history, and instigated the multi-decade global war on terror, fought in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. The first impact was that of American Airlines Flight 11, which ringleader Mohamed Atta flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan at 8:46 a.m.[f] Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03,[g] the World Trade Center's South Tower was hit by United Airlines Flight 175. Both 110-story skyscrapers collapsed within an hour and forty-one minutes,[h] bringing about the destruction of the remaining five structures in the WTC complex and damaging or destroying nearby buildings. A third flight, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m., causing a partial collapse. The fourth and final flight, United Airlines Flight 93, flew in the direction of the capital. Alerted to the previous attacks, the passengers fought for control, forcing the hijackers to nosedive the plane into a Stonycreek Township field, near Shanksville, at 10:03 a.m. Investigators determined that Flight 93's target was either the United States Capitol or the White House. That evening, the Central Intelligence Agency informed President George W. Bush that its Counterterrorism Center had identified the attacks as having been the work of Al-Qaeda under Osama bin Laden's leadership. The United States formally responded by launching the war on terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which rejected the conditions of U.S. terms to expel Al-Qaeda from Afghanistan and extradite its leaders. The U.S.'s invocation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty-its only usage to date-called upon allies to fight Al-Qaeda. As U.S. and NATO invasion forces swept through Afghanistan, bin Laden eluded them by disappearing into the White Mountains. He denied any involvement until 2004, when excerpts of a taped statement in which he accepted responsibility for the attacks were released. Al-Qaeda's cited motivations included U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia and sanctions against Iraq. The nearly decade-long manhunt for bin Laden concluded on May 2, 2011, when he was killed during a U.S. military raid after being tracked down to his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The war in Afghanistan continued for another eight years until the agreement was made in February 2020 for American and NATO troops to withdraw from the country, and the last members of the U.S. armed forces left the region on August 30, 2021, after which the Taliban returned to power. Ayman al-Zawahiri, another planner of the attacks who succeeded bin Laden as leader of Al-Qaeda, was killed by U.S. drone strikes in Kabul, Afghanistan on July 31, 2022.[14] Excluding the hijackers, the attacks killed 2,977 people, injured thousands more and gave rise to substantial long-term health consequences while also causing at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. It remains the deadliest terrorist attack in history as well as the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement personnel in US history, killing 343 and 72 members, respectively. The loss of life stemming from the impact of Flight 11 secured its place as the most lethal plane crash in aviation history followed by the death toll incurred by Flight 175. The destruction of the World Trade Center and its environs seriously harmed the U.S. economy and induced global market shocks. Many other countries strengthened anti-terrorism legislation and expanded their powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Cleanup of the World Trade Center site (colloquially "Ground Zero") took eight months and was completed in May 2002, while the Pentagon was repaired within a year. After delays in the design of a replacement complex, construction of the One World Trade Center began in November 2006; it opened in November 2014. Memorials to the attacks include the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, The Pentagon Memorial in Arlington County, Virginia, and the Flight 93 National Memorial at the Pennsylvania crash site.
