I love how people stop to look at stuff I still do this but it seems like today people don't expect it they tend to interrupt you if you're looking at the ridiculous recent price hike of coffee trying to decide to not buy any at all or any similar moment staring at something you're interrupted because most people now are fast pace oriented but not all.
@azul88113 ай бұрын
Back then, the 5 Boroughs of NYC had many ethnic neighborhoods which, I think, tended to foster a sense of community mainly because of shared values and customs. For some reason, such neighborhoods came to be seen in a negative light, which I think was a misguided and unfortunate assessment.

Hi my friend. Love your restoration videos of the past. At 3:41 my mom who lived in New Jersey in the 1940's. But went to New York many times said back when she was a little girl people shopped at open outside markets for fish, meats, vegetables, fruits and other things, like you see here. There were not as many supermarkets back then. Thanks for the upload.😊.

How did you find you know that your mom was in this video? That's incredible.
Seems to start at the intersection of Mott and Pell St... heads up to Grand St... maybe a bit north... I think it ends at Pell and Bowery. The 3rd Ave El came down Bowery until it closed n 1955, the last EL in Manhattan (not counting the section of 1 line that spans the Manhattan Valley at 125th).

Antiques/gifts store must have had stuff from 1900
@jaysverrisson15363 ай бұрын
Probably older than that. When this footage was taken in 1939, a proper antique was supposed to be at least 100 years old or else it was just used/second hand stuff. Nowadays, the term "antique" is used much more loosely and present-day collectors often prefer artifacts of relatively more recent decades than their counterparts of the 1930s probably did.

A time when many of the unions in the Garment District were run by the likes of Louis Lepke of Murder, Incorporated, and the factory owners were hardly better? When being a Jew or Italian made you about as welcome as "illegals" today? When a Chinese man could not easily marry a White woman, or a Chinese one, due to miscegenation laws and the Chinese Exclusion Act?
