1930s ATLANTIC CITY NEW JERSEY TRAVELOGUE by CASTLE FILMS BOARDWALK & STEEL PIER 11094 C

[@Mike-ij9vj]

I used to go with my grandfather to the Atlantic City race track, it was in decay in the 70s, but it was still a great time

[@themanwiththeplan728]

Oh don’t mind me, just rekindling fine memory’s of the early seasons of Boardwalk Empire

[@ChristianFras]

The neighborhood at 2:54 I believe is now known as Margate City

[@Dalt21]

At 4:43 the big building on the left can still be seen in Atlantic City today. The Claridge Hotel

how old are you ?

[@patton303]

I was born in the Atlantic City Medical Center. Moved away when I went to college. I miss it so much.

[@coldwarsarge7592]

Thanks for presenting yet another compelling video!

[@JimBennett08203]

Not the 30's. The racetrack opened in 1946.

[@jban4457]

Yep... this same footage is seen colorized in a KZbin video titled "1940s Atlantic City".

[@jrutt2675]

1950's for real. There was an Israeli flag as well at the convention hall! So it was after 1948

[@shafts2447]

Atlantic City Race Track opened in 1946 so this is post war, not the 30s.

Nearby gulf stream assures moderate fall, winter and spring temperatures??? My wife's cousin moved to Florida because they hated winters in N.J.

[@media-masters4827]

Casinos ruined AC. It’s more like a dumping ground now. It could be easily rehabilitated and gentrified

[@hunseder]

Not a silent film after all! YAY!

[@johnnyzeee5215]

The Ice Capades at Convention, now Whelan Boardwalk, Hall. Home to the largest pipe organ in the world.

[@rustynail6819]

Wow, from a great seaside resort town with beautiful homes in manicured neighborhoods to a utter slum. Those houses are long gone in favor of section 8 housing they started building in the early 70's. The old hotels are long demolished in favor of high rise casino's. The only seaside hotel left is the old Claridge Hotel now owned by Raddison. With gambling legal in PA Atlantic City has lost a ton of business from the Philadelphia crowd.

The future of this country. Gone.

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

[@robertmasina4610]

@Jim Bennett. If you're accurate with the years, can't fool everybody.

[@MegaBait1616]

Doesn't look like this anymore, lol. Gulf Stream is Not close to the beach ? Everything knocked down and just casinos now.

[@RodeoRides]

MegaBait total shit hole now

[@sunlite9759]

@@RodeoRides Casinos? Not any more! Creeping blight saw to that.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

The shown Miss America contestants now would be centenarians.

[@stephendacey8761]

I went there many times in the early 2000's. Today, it's awful.

[@retroguyretail1976]

AC was glamourous back when now its just a dump. when I went to vegas it makes AC look like camden

[@joedeegan3870]

It wasn't so different in the 1950 s

[@miamissecret]

Wheres all the black folk in these videos? Is this spot still nice and clean and safe?

[@soldanovht]

Take a look today. you'll be saying where all the white folk. Place is a disgrace now. It's being called Atlantic Shitty now.

[@thejerseyj5479]

Call me racist if you must, but when Newark, Camden, and Atlantic City were white they were booming thriving cities. Now? Well...

[@sunlite9759]

The United States could be a paradise on earth..........
