I want to go back. Vintage Ohio looks so much more comfy then modern Ohio. Homesick for a place that no longer exists.
Diversity destroys cities and nations.
@@hipointc9987 so does hate.
@@hipointc9987 My diverse immigrant parents came here and have made good money. What does that mean?
@@hipointc9987 Bull
You sure if your white your good (not being racist though) but if your black your probably gonna have a hard time
I was born in Ohio, 1950s......It was Great!
I love the way the narrator pronounces ‘Scioto.’ Sounded like skee-oh-tow!
I was born in 1997. I’ve never lived through this but this to me is America. I’m fed up with the present so I’m visiting the past.
Yes! I'm a 63 baby (final year of baby boomers), so I have a lot of memories of things no longer around. It was so different. I feel sorry for today's youth.
Same here sister. The world we were born in is severely sick. If we don't take it back soon, we will lose it forever.
Stop believing everything you're being shown as America. It's mostly been embellished or hidden. It's up to you to find the truth.
@@aethulwulfvonstopphen8013They already took it from us long ago
Everyone normal feels this way now. Born in 84, and I understand and agree.
For the young, this was known as civilization.
Fake media from the outside... what about the systematic racism burning churches and hanging people.
@@Kemet3.0 Yes, and the Democrats are STILL at it.
@@Kemet3.0 that wasn't happening in Ohio...only a burning river.
Diversity = Death
@@jackalenterprisesofohio it was 95% White when this video was made.
Ohio was booming back, in the 50’s, a great place to live back then.
yes, it all went downhill in the eighties, these manufacturing and production companies went to China and the world was taken over by technology companies, big tech went to California, Seattle and other states, Ohio was slow in recognizing the next big employment sectors.
Thanks to Nixon’s trade deal with China, Reaganomics, & Bill Clinton signing NAFTA, everything went to China & Mexico.
Damn im glad i looked this up i learned alot more than i did at school about Cleveland thats for damn sure hopefully we get better at that its sad to see so many ill informed people
The problem is the only people who watch this looked it up, this stuff doesn’t show up in peoples feed
My parents were married on 52. My brother and 2 sisters were born in the 50s. My third sister and I were born in the late 60s. I have seen many good family photos from that era. I enjoy looking at older photos.
Hooray for Cincy! Father in law worked in Ivorydale! Love the Union Terminal, also known as The Hall of Justice in Superfriends.
I had noticed that too. 😅
🦸♀️Up up and away...!
I wonder if they took inspiration from that specific structure. 🤔
I adore my home, Ohio. Great post ! Enjoy watching and will share. Not at all taken as a political argument prop. Enjoy it for what it is .. OH -
I O
I O !
I Owe, I Owe, So off to work I go...
Ohio does have beautiful forests and trees and scenic areas. Lake Erie is much cleaner than it was in the late 60s and early 70s. Lots of dead fish everywhere..used to swim near Vermilion and it was polluted heavily.
That's because all of the business men shipped all of the factory jobs overseas. 😤
And now we're known as the rust belt. 😠
Wow, Cleveland looks more crowded than it is today
WHite flight!! that's why
+lecil2 Depopulation and outsourcing are to blame. And downtown Cleveland is crowded.
Big factory jobs Gone = People loss.
In 1940 cleveland waa the 7th biggest city in the U.S. In 2017 its the 51st biggest city. The loss of heavy industry like steel and automobile manufacturing and the fligjt of the middle class to the suburbs is the reason.
@@antknee5556 suburbanization
Would love Toledo, 1950s, hum along in the glass factories.
wow, what a golden age
This dude called us , "Ohians" . We are ,"Ohioans".
He also said "Skee-oh-tow" river rather than "Sigh-oh-tah."
He didn't mention Milan, OH, as Thomas Edison's birthplace. He probably would have mispronounced it as "Mee-LAHN," rather than properly as MY-lan.
Ha he said "Skee O Toe" for Scioto lol
Vintage CLE once America's 6th largest city was dirty but thriving then.🏭
Cedar Point used to be fun. Now it's all extreme rides have made it no longer fun.
Why didn't they mention Dayton?
This video practically ignored southwest Ohio.
@@SL-vy8ue I think Dayton is more west-central Ohio. I wished they had mentioned Lima as well.
When established in the 1870s, the big school at Columbus was "Ohio A&M"...it became OSU some years later.
Anybody know where Engagement Ohio is?
Its between Dayton and Marion.
I'll let myself out.
Told my Husband this joke and he overanalyzed it so much that I just got mad 😂😂😂
@@RiqochetRoseTarot Some people don't enjoy the pleasure of simple jokes. I'm glad some people do.
I read that on a Laffy Taffy wrapper back in the 90's. It's still a classic!
You cheeseball... I love it!
RIP rustbelt cities
It was a little tuff back then, life much simpler and more freedom. but wasn't as crazy as it is now. These days it's more of greed and control and less freedoms.
Ahh, the fifties, where men wearing button-up shirts blow glass.
They knew it was picture day.
😆😅😂🤣
Can we just make a time machine? I'll be the test subject. I just want simplicity and to also meet The Beatles.
Yeah, I remember when I had my first beer...
It’s interesting today to count what are now false statements. “Progressive.” “Democratic values.” “Prosperity.” “Bustling productive Youngstown.” Or “blue Lake Erie skies & sun-swept beaches.” Well, that last one never was true.
I lived in Sandusky for three years and my favorite getaway was to the one secluded beach up on Lake Erie. On a clear, summer day, that last statement is very much true!
ignorance is bliss?
I wouldn't say that the last statement was never true... it was certainly true before Ohio industries turned Lake Erie into a toilet bowl. Also, since the water of Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron eventually flow into Lake Erie, the pollution of the former industries of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Ontario also bear some of the blame.
"Where once the happy Indian had his hunting ground?" I thinking I'm going to cry now.
I went back in 2012 after being in NH for 20 years. Didn't like what I found so I stayed only 3 years. I was born in mid 50s and had a great childhood in small town Ohio. Those were the days lol
From Ohio too, been in NH 20 years now. Only go back to OH to visit family. It's definitely different now.
@@TheLk35mm I live in Manchester,how about you?
@@pappap1702 I am in Brookline. Love NH but have seen changes here too over 20 years.
My grandparents used to live in Garfield Hts. A long long time ago they lived in Cleveland and I always wondered what it used to look like when they grew up. Maybe I miss Ohio or maybe I just miss them. 😊
I have some 1950s film footage of my dad's family reunion.would like to post it but don't know how to.
Things were so much better. Anyone notice anything missing? Gee it must be something but whatever could it be?
Rob Fowler African-Americans 😕
No mention of the great grey and brown clouds that blocked the sun and stained the tan bricks black, in the area of those "great" steel mills etc.
And I've made at least 100 videos showing that in only a few decades, present Toledo doesn't even remotely resemble what's shown in this video!
Toledo is a Shit Hole!
Those words slither out of your mouth as though you're happy, or proud about that. Its a certain group of Americans who seem to take a strange pride in the downfall of our cities. Its almost as though they look at it as some sort of confirmation of a their belief system.
Wrong! He's trying to get people to act different politicallly...most likely against your ideologies.
@@jakebarnes28 yeah Democrats love the downfall
Nothing against Ohio, but Edison sucks, Nicola Tesla is the Man.
Still Edison won. Most people never heard of Tesla.
This shows exactly why Ohio is in such a sorry state. We were betrayed by the corporations who sent the manufacturing glory to other nations, and the government for not outlawing this practice
100% corporate greed has sent the nation back. It’s never enough for those types.
True
@@moobutttruth I was born and raised in in Ohio
@@moobutt Now they want to replace Americans into extinction with a cheap foreign labor force thats much less likely to rebel
Any one in 2019 😁😁
2020 here.
Oct 2020
September 2023. 😀
I'm born and raised in Canton. When out-of-towner's come/ask where I'm from I always say "We have our very own dead president!" (then depending on the company note that it's a limited edition assassinated one to boot)
Literally the only shot of our area contained in this reel is at the foot of the statue in front of McKinley's tomb.. My reaction was equal parts "=DDD I've stood there!*@#^$*" and "Couldn't think of much else to say either, eh, 1950s guy?"
It used to be good in Ohio before the monsters came...
Ah... the smoke, rust and pollution in this video make me long for those days when everything, even flowers, smelled like sulfur!
I lived in Ohio in the 1950's and I swear that everything, including movies and newsreels, was in sharp, crisp focus. This is a very poor transfer from video cassette and does a disservice to the news photographers of the past!
Hi Cinemutt, do you remeber anything about cadillac dealership in dayton in the fifties ?. Asking because my 55' Cadillac was sold from new in Dayton. Searching for history of the car.
"cleveland's growth and prosperity" obviously this was a LONG time ago!
Before the politicians taxed us out of business to the Asian countries.
Before Nixon selling out the US worker to China, Reaganomics, & Clinton selling out the US worker for NAFTA.
Borned an raised in cinati, ohio...looks different now
Good days.
Toronto is what Cleveland would be today had it never stopped growing. In 1960, both cities' had about the same metro area population. Both cities had just opened their first subway lines. Toronto's skyscraper boom had not yet begun. Now Greater Toronto has at least triple the population and a Chinese/South Asian population that is at least as big as San Francisco Bay Area's. Not to mention a skyline that rivals Chicago and a subway system that carries nearly twice as many riders as Chicago's L despite Toronto being a smaller city than Chicago.
Commenting on stuff like this untill I get more of it on my UA-cam recommendations
YES
You can almost smell it .
A lot of mistakes made after that led the city of Cleveland to go from around 900 000 people to around 300 000
0:32 Oh, how times change.
Progressive means something different when your state is 95% White like it was at the time of this recording.
Everyone on here wants to go back in time as if 3 channels on your b&w TV and trying to adjust those rabbit ear antennas didn't exist. No AC in your car and probably none in your house either. Nah. I'll pass.
Yeah. I lived in Cincinnati as a kid and we had no A/C. Brutal.
I’d go back in a heartbeat
Im born in 97 and have never had AC. Don't bother me much. Also tv is for people who dont know how to live life.
This guy was narrating a film on Ohio and he couldn't even pronounce Scioto?
I live on the river. Cringed so hard…
Where's Dayton?
WaltTheWarrior Lima.
There was that picture of cash register manufacturing toward the end.
Is that a trick question?
I think that is the Wright Brother's part... and a brief shot of NCR at the end.
True, they did talk about the Wright Brothers and show a picture of a register being assembled, but he never actually mentioned Dayton. A lot of Ohio's history took place in Dayton, just saying.
sad to see this. we make nothing now.. thank you china ,
Not totally China's fault. Our corrupt business men sold us off.
@@juliewitt7496 Business men and politicians
For 40 years our policy makers have chosen China as the winner...God bless the man who chooses the American worker as the winner.
This isn't true... There's still plenty made around the state, and there are active American made businesses in Ohio, e.g. Rogue Fitness.
@@DukeoftheAges Like Joe Biden and son.
i want a dirty dvd
Wow! Steel mills creating "smoking majesties" of the skies... There's one to be proud of....
Yeah, but at least that generation wasn't borrowing a trillion dollars every year and could safely say social security was going to be there when they were older.
We are .
North royalton
Cincinnati should not have been last. How silly.
Cincy is the city with an old, unused subway. But that may have been due to its corrupt politics. It was the very first US city to establish an ambulance service, a model that other cities followed. When researched, it had & has some remarkable businesses & establishments, though far from being perfect.
Yes because we really hate the rest of Ohio
@@juliewitt7496 Cincinnati first pro baseball club, first pro fire department.
Glass City💪💪💪💪💪
I lived in Sandusky many times between 1992 and 2006, but only during Cedar Point working summers. This is the biggest bunch of ...never mind....(for obvious reasons).
So, you worked at the point all those years?
Ohio looked white asf
Columbus is doing just fine, thank you!
Compared to what? Columbus is a depressing dump.
@@CuriousMutation compared to whatever dump you're living in to even have that much negativity to say that.
@@shifter9653 Columbus has much higher crime than Cleveland. I know, I've lived in both cities.
Curious Mutation it’s population has never had a decline growth. And it’s now the 2nd biggest city in the midwest
WAY better than Cleveland where I'm from. Been to every neighborhood in both cities and friends of mine talk about "bad neighborhoods" in Columbus...makes me laugh we have neighborhoods here "in the CLE"where a CCW is a requirement!
Wow...look at all that pollution
YOUNGSTOWN ✌️
❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
OH.....
I-O!!! ❤
He forgot LBJ.
Thomas Edison stole that invention 😂😂😂
Ohio I saw no Black Americans . Are there Black People in Ohio? Maybe they kept them under the staircase.
This was 1950 there are lots of blacks in ohio
Well, 95% of the Ohio population was White at the time.
@@aethulwulfvonstopphen8013 So What !
@@tonydialsr7190 You asked if there was black people in Ohio, and I answered. less than 5 out of every 100 people in Ohio was black, so no you didnt see them very often except in their own areas.
I'm black, and l am in Ohio.
They just didn't go over by
Taylor and Ohio avenue.
Ohio? Right.
Ohio..."proudly progressive"? "Democratic way of life"?... Oh, the irony.
Not so much. It all went down hill since then. "Proudly progressive"
When progressives were not against human flourishing
jeffrey k not anymore...
Progressive means something different when your state is 95% White, like it was when the video was shot.
It's such a shame that progressivism destroyed all of this
Thank the Joos
Ah the 1950s, when it was still ok to be a white man 👍🏻🙏🏻
@Black Recluse Good thing the population was 95% White back then.
OMG....what an imbalanced and over dramatized, propagandic view of Ohio. Not one mention of all the pollution and environmental destruction!!! Anyone remember the Cuyahoga River on fire???
Did that not happen over a decade after this was made? I'm not saying you don't have a point, I just genuinely can't remember.
You are correct. The fire didnt happen until 1978 or so, almost two decades after this film.
Not for it's time, no...Ohio was the shit back in the 40's-50's. Then it was just shit...no the. It's improving.
Sfu idiot. This was before you fucken liberals destroyed the United states.
Cuyahoga river burned in 1969
Columbus oh, the armpit of the midwest.
why would you say that? one of the finest metro areas of the entire midwest, and maybe beyond...usually rates second to Chicago.
Jon Brandison- People feel a need to spout off. Maybe she couldn't get laid enough when she lived in Columbus. Or maybe she got a speeding ticket while just passing through. Whatever her problem, she doesn't know what she's talking about. She's just a troll, yipping and yapping, throwing out her negatively hoping to get noticed. Ignore the trolls. They're not worth the trouble.
@@williamanthony9090 thanks dude
Shifter Columbus is a huge shithole. Some of the same streets I walked as a kid... nothing but Somali gangs now.
Aussie Junk still doing better than damn near every city in the midwest with a population over 100,000
ok sold! im moving to ohio!
