I heard from a Late Relative (who actually grew up in Portland, when his family emigrated here) That Times Square was actually getting pretty Seedy...even in the Late Forties. They didn't have the Hardcore stuff yet, but there were He-She shows, etc. I bet there was a Lot of Burlesque, Too.
A different time and different world today.Most of those storefronts and buildings are long gone and closed today.Sad to see what the city has turned into today.
I didn’t know NYC in the 50’s but have great memories of the city in the early 70’s when it was in decline but still a real working and exciting city unlike today. RIP NYC.
I just got back from an 8-day trip to New York City and found the whole city to be terrific. People were quite helpful and congenial as well. And I'm generally more of a small town person.
There's nothing wrong with new York city today, it's the people that's in the world today that's rotten, the city is still beautiful No matter what, and always remember, there's is a loose devil in the world And his ugly demons to
Women certainly were beautiful back then. The blond on the Empire State building observation was amazing with her contoured arms and shapely torso but did you notice the woman crossing Park Avenue? Her walk was so sexy and in a timeless sort of way😊
It wasn't all Crimson and Clover then. And lot's of folks were never heard from again or found in pieces on the shores of the Belt parkway in Brooklyn via organized crime.
Американцы, гордитесь своей Страной - USA. Она, ну конечно и Вы, этого заслуживают. Напрасно пропагондоны "удивляются" - отчего это весь просвещённый Мир так тянется к Америке. Пусть посмботрят эту хронику и подумают.
It's very sad to think that I was born in 2001, in this horrible generation of degenerative people, I always preferred the traditional, the classic, civilized people and the truth above all, we live in a false world of appearance, excessive social networks on the cell phone in hand of people where everything has become liquid and futile, nothing has its value, but everything has its price, friendships, relationships, there is no longer honor, the fidelity of marriage, men and women committed to forming a strong family and educating people strong for the future, we are falling towards the abyss or we have already reached it, we live in a lost generation that will continue to create weak people

Beautiful film, I feel like I am home watching it. The modern world is like a foreign country. We have fallen so far...
America in it's heyday. I remember snowy Christmas days, sunny summers and early TV shows. We knew most of our neighbors and our doors were unlocked.
Im from Chicago....but the best about New York is the way they deliver a line....like "Hey asso, lichk mhy bawls"
This was the world I was born into. Today it’s gone to the shitter. Sad but true.
dreaming old new york.
AWESOME THANK YOU

It's nicer now. Less cars now and more farmers markets. Breastfeeding isn't forbidden like it was then.

Everybody getting along just fine without Devilbook Sh"tter and instasham
You’re a damn fool if you think everyone was getting along in the 50s. Jim Crow laws still existed and black people were lynched regularly.
