I was trying to search for 70's videos to see how my parents used to live but by this time they went down to the Cape. I still wanted to see it in the early 80's though because I know it wouldn't have changed much by then.

Crossing the line. Now referred to by turbo-melts as "bullying".

No Italians allowed!

Lived in JP back then. Used to go to the Irish Rover in Fields Corner, and my first girlfriend lived right off Adams Street not far from the Erie.

Many people would be shocked to see that Ashmont Hill,Melville Ave and Cedar Grove are part of Dorchester.Those sections are beautiful? What was shown in this video is what many think of when they think of Dorchester.

😂

Third World …

Crazy to think half the people on the comments weren’t even alive then less populated

this is deep fake, Amercia is synonymous with violence, drugs and money.

My grandfather was on the missouri from 85 to 88 GMCM Reed.. US Navy retired 1953 to 1988

What does OFD stand for?

Does anyone know what OFD means?

I wished I could have served on that warrior.

Was it really like the movies? Did they really dislike blacks? History is soo interesting!

Why do they pronounce it Missou-rah sometimes?

No woke female personnel on that ship!

Dude can’t even pronounce MISSOURI correctly, he kept saying “Missour-AH”. That’s total disrespect for the very vessel that was there to witness the surrender of the Japs that ultimately ended WW2.

Reporter what is your Dad going to do Kid he's going to kick ass and chew bubblegum and he just gave me his last piece of bubblegum so that narrows it down to one thing to do 😅

The mighty MO came to Sydney Harbour in the 80s I went to see it just a magic sight

We live on Centre St.

8:18 Phalanx CIWIS… could gattle out 4000-6000 depleted-uranium projectiles per min

3:01 why didnt know if they would see their close ones ever again… a bit overdramatic report…

Dorchester has gone under some drastic changes in the past 40 years.

Señor Thompson, Did you serve on the MIGHTY MO? I served on the BIG J. Is there anyway we can connect. Thank you. RP1 JACK D. NOE, USN (Ret) USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62)

THE MIGHTY 'MO'! May you serve again... My heart goes out to the PERSONAL who serve on her and the ENGINEERS who designed her.. Remember...WE ARE SECOND TO NONE! GO NAVY!!!

I grew up on the South Shore but at this time I was working my first full time job out of college down in Florida and I had come back in January 1985. Dorchester was so different then before the gentrification. Granted it was run down, a bit poorer, a some blight in some areas but it wasn't hideously expensive like it is today. The people in this video seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the young white men there were engaged in athletic pursuits or just hanging out. And everyone was so fit and trim compared to now!

Hmm where’s the part on Casey Ryback and that attempted hijack of Mighty Mo on her last cruise?

Never heard of 16" 50cal guns before 😂 News reporter didn't know what he was talking about obviously. 🤦‍♂️

🤧 ❄️ ⛄️ 💵 😅

Ashmont Paaaaki… all ya needed was a fake i.d.,

Aaaaaaaah Boston Your My Home . What memories I use to operate a woodworking shop out of the old “Baker Chocolate Factory in Dot Lower Mills and for a time worked also in my late teens rehabbing old triple decors all the way to and on Columbia Rd in the hood. I’ve since been all around this world several times .

Triple deckers all look like they were in better shape! Miss those days.

Spent 2 years on Battleship Wisconsin BB-64 Marine Detachment 88-90. Incredible experience! Semper Fi! 🦅🌎 ⚓

The last battleship built was actually the British HMS Vanguard.

Somebody got a rather poor fitrep. Ok, several officers.

Still in Crisis , oh well i now beta Storm a Dessert then . STE - VEN - UR

This battleship was perfect, anti air, 16inch calibre gun, missile system, oh it was awesome.

i was 3 yrs old living on branton st a few blocks away from adams corner

I graduated from Salem HS in Salem, MO and joined the US Navy becoming a helicopter crewman and rescue swimmer. During PacEx 89 my hello flew to the USS Missouri and I got to step on deck. I made my way up the starboard side to assist a PM into a Gumby suit so he could take photos of the Mighty Mo shooting those 16” guns. It was an unforgettable event. Even though I failed to recognize the Admiral when he asked how things were going. My reply was terse and when I stood up and turned around to see the 3 stars on his lapel I apologized for my disrespect. He told me to carry on as I was in the midst of doing my job. I look forward to one day going to Pearl Harbor to stand upon that deck again and pay my respects to my shipmates on the USS Arizona.

What’s so special about it? Looks dumpy

My grandpa was on the uss Missouri but he died in 2013 of old age

It was more like a leisure travel than going to war😅

And the purpose of this video is??

Born here, still here👌🏾/// B's. If one got hit by one of those cars back in the day, it would be dam near a zero % survival rate 😂 Funny how when u see yellow construction truck/Snap truck here they still same of today 😂 Who'd think back then to film to put it up in the future? A bright mind.

Is he going bald?

How many people agree that in the future with a I we'll be able to go back in time

This was taken the year after I was born, and I grew up in the area near the end of the video, right where Adams turns onto Gallivan. The Eire pub is still there!

We lived on train street we lived on Bowdoin Street

Wow it's really nice to see the old neighborhood Park Street Fields corner the old dumping grounds we got we got to see some dot rats

I lived in that red building 0:22 when I was a child!
