Family Life in 1950s - Documentary featuring Tulsa OK - [COLOURIZED]

[@whitelion1111]

I'd rather live back then than now. Im amazed to see how they learned about refineries and design. I worked in that field for 20 years in Tulsa, John Zinc was one of the companies i worked for

Look how nicely dressed everyone was. We've turned into slobs.

Most Americans have no respect for themselves or others, and when you tell these people that they have something disrespectful to answer. Respect is taught in the home.

@@brileyvandyke5792 Cool story bro.

[@OspreyFlyer]

Sure have.

[@chuckf6163]

Yep, covered from head to toe in tattoos, man buns, and piercings all over. Pretty embarrassing to say the least.

I was born and raised in Tulsa near 11th and Garnett Rd. My dad worked for American Airlines for 40 years. It was a safe and nice childhood there. Glad I was born when and where - life so different now.

My grandfather spent 25 years at the Douglas aircraft plant and retired from there in 1984. Prior to that he worked for Sinclair Oil. This was truly the golden age of Tulsa.

[@chuckf6163]

Yes, I worked at McDonnell Douglas in Tulsa till the plant closed 1n 1994.

[@impalaman9707]

Sadly, there's still people in this world who think Tulsa is what it was in 1901--with dirt roads and hitching posts!

[@douglasdixon524]

Wonderful film and what at great shot at 14:14

[@Lyle_918]

At 13:44. Wilson Jr High 11th & Delaware?

[@miltonsmith974]

Technically, Woodrow Wilson Jr. High School was located on Columbia Ave. just south of 11th Street. But its campus extended east to Delaware.

[@johnnyreb280]

Anyone remember the dairy farm out northwest of tulsa?I think it was called the Berryhill dairy? I think the family lived in a rock house out there? Or the Barnsdall 55 school? Or Blackdog area?

[@NotJxdennFN]

Now look at Tulsa, so much more people and All these businesses booming

[@macsnafu]

Well, it was obviously some kind of promo film, but I didn't expect it to be quite so petroleum-heavy, in spite of the narrator's insistence that Tulsa was diversified. But we did luck out on the aviation industry. It was nice to see the earlier Tulsa University, but I wanted to see more of the old library. I'm assuming that was the downtown library shown in the video? And surely the Carson family at least had a radio, if not a television!

I’ve always considered Oklahoma to be in the Midwest

[@nick_de_l]

I feel like Tulsa is absolutely Midwest and OKC is definitely west! But I agree.

[@whome9936]

Oklahoma is a state of convergences of south, west, and Midwest. NE Oklahoma is Midwestern for sure.
