When people respected themselves and each other even poor people took care of what little they had and aspired to better their circumstances. Admirable.
I say be the change you want to see. I live in a trailer home and still keep my pride. I keep the home clean and I dress up when I go out. Before I can ask folks to fix up their lives, I need to fix up my little corner of the world. And that’s what I intend to do. Just maybe I’ll inspire someone else to dress it up when they go out.
Close, it's more like White people, who haven't been ravaged by drugs or the idea that they should let dark skinned people live near them.....take a lot of pride in themselves and their surroundings.
When my aunt and uncle were married in 1956 they had a trailer similar to many shown in this video. When they bought a house a few years later they parked it in their front yard for sale. It sat there quite a while before anyone bought it. I used to love playing inside it when we went to visit them. Eventually it ended up in a trailer park a few miles away where it was in use well into the 2000s. The owner of the park finally had it hauled away for junk. I would have liked to save it, had it restored and put it on our property as a guest house, but wasn't able to do that, so it's gone.
There is something so beautiful about that shot at 1:55. Very clean neighborhood, basic looking and just what people need. Today the rich live in those mcmansions and back in the 50's people were fine with little house. We have lost our way.
@@martinledermann1862 LOL. You'll find out different someday. Hopefully before it's too late. I'm thankful I received Jesus when I was 26 back in 1986. God is real sweetie.
Water Melon well before that family's used to live together even when kids were married all the way back to Victorian times. People were happy to own their own home and be independent from every one else. It started right after world War two when people's way of thinking changed. Before it was more than one generation living in the same house. Now they don't stick together they can't wait until their kids are 18 to kick them out.
It’s so nice and clean for a trailer park. People cared about their property back then! I love how the lady is sitting on her chair smoking her cigarette with her ash tray and reading her newspaper! I remember being a little kid at my grandparents old two bedroom trailer. My Grannie and Paw Paw would sit at their 1950’s style retro kitchen table and smoke and read the newspaper. (This was during the 1970’s when people still smoked around kids... No one knew any better) Anyway, I survived! And even though they smoked inside the trailer, the house and the yard was beautifully maintained! If we were poor, I didn’t know it. I had a charmed childhood with all the love and material possessions I could ever ask for. ❤️ My parents and brothers and I lived in a big double wide trailer across the street from my grandparents. Eventually the trailer park began to turn into well,..a trailer park! My parents and grandparents all moved us out and bought houses in better neighborhoods. But that trailer park was such a nice place once upon a time... Simpler times! A bygone era...
Wife and I are thinking about an rv some time in the near future. Find remote jobs, get an LTE internet connection, maybe starlink backup or just starlink on it's own, and travel the country.
Larry, that’s back when normal, hard working people, just happened or by necessity, to chose a Mobil home, camper/trailer style life. Now, it attracts a different type of people, so much so, they’re banning the trailer parks where we live. There’s a few decent ones left, but very few. Thanks for sharing
Back in the 1950s mobile homes were actually used as mobile homes. they had no side skirting because the majority of people that own them moved around alot. In fact unlike travel trailers or Camper's mobile homes back in the beginning were often purchased by well-off families who basically just used them as you would travel trailer so you have your house and then you have your mobile house that you'd hook up to the back of the car or what's called a toter which is a specialized truck and then pull trailer around the country on vacation.
I've never been able to figure out that answer. I didn't come from that era. Maybe people watched their weight because everyone else was slim. I think that there are several answers and not just one.

Well back in the day dishes were hand washed. It's all on how you wash them. Hot soapy water. Dish washers don't always do so good sometimes. If you wash by hand you need hot soapy water. Soak dishes a bit and wash. Got to make sure dishes are clean.

People took pride in their small piece of the American dream.

Everyone full of hope and optimism.......that is missing today!
I was just talking about this same thing the other day! People don't have that hope anymore, that optimism, that... well... Pride.
@@twobrokeguyz1214shit I do.
Absolutely Love Vintage Trailers and this Video.
Back when living in a trailer park wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
There is something so beautiful about that shot at 1:55. Very clean neighborhood, basic looking and just what people need. Today the rich live in those mcmansions and back in the 50's people were fine with little house. We have lost our way.
The rich lived in mansions back then too.
@@julienielsen3746 Exactly. And the poor still live in tiny flats.
@@martinledermann1862 The poor need to trust in God, and learn to prosper through His Word.
@@julienielsen3746 There is no god and never was.

No gate no fences no security posts. No crime.. Respectful and conforming.
No joggers helped with that
Yeah there’s a reason we have gated communities now…
It looks peaceful
Folks were glad to have what they did have back then.

Your right people didn't live beyond their means and we didn't have all these crooked billionaires sucking us dry
So true

I love the dresses the women wore in the 50's. They looked so sexy/elegant.
Yes I iherit some of my late mother s I love em
@@karolinesmail489 That's awesome. Clothes were made much better so Im not surprised your mother's dresses lasted.
-If there was music in this, I think it would 50s supermarket music. Nothing heavy, no jazz, r&b/r&r, even pop. Just that nice light enjoyable sound.
That vacuum!!!!! Lol. I'd be tripping over that thing !
Wow everyone is skinny, parks and trailers are clean... cooking home cooked meals... now that's attractive!
O
People were thin because they didn't sit around eating empty-calorie junk food on the government's dime
Those days you could eat lots of sugar and not gain weight unlike the added chemicals of today ...
@@suziek888 Not as much fast food.
I remember living in a trailer. Birthday parties, dial up internet, pretending to summon demons, playing video games, etc.
How about dial telephones?
Love it! Thank you.
LOOKS RATHER NICE AND PEACEFUL COMPARED TO THEES DAYS STANDARDS.
it shows life was just as ordinary as it is today. vacuum cleaning, playing with a basketball sitting in the shadow and cooking.
That Electrolux at 0:20 is probably still running today.
I have a 40 year old Electrolux myself. Still runs great. They don`t make them like that no more.
I lived in one in the service it was like a country club
Those where good days not like now .

it looks exactly like trailer life today in many places in the US

I'd love that vacuum, sick of pushing a 30 pounder.
Nice Old fashion
No crack or meth from Mexico.
Born 1950. Never saw this anywhere.
Back then trailer park people were just like anyone else. What happened? Meth?
I do know this culture lasted till the early nineties in some trailer parks.. Now it's all tweekers and welfare scammers..
@@erikbreaman9124 sadly true 😥
Anyone know if asbestos would be in 50s and 60s mobile home ceilings
0:12 to 0:26 legs was süper
I noticed that! :-)
I wish this culture enters India someday ❤✌🏻
Now they cook meth in those trailers, not food.
They didn't have side skirting in the 50s?
Back in the 1950s mobile homes were actually used as mobile homes.
they had no side skirting because the majority of people that own them moved around alot.

I didn't see any Pink Flamingos!
To be honest, it looks idyllic..... What's not to like?
Well, it just isn't woke enough by today's standards.
no sound
Genevieve Roser really? Wow
Different World
No meth!
Americans weren't fat back then. What happened?
We lived like this for at least 10 yrs.everyone was friendly.they use to call on loud speaker the mail is in
People weren't as food-obsessed aa they are today
I've never been able to figure out that answer. I didn't come from that era. Maybe people watched their weight because everyone else was slim. I think that there are several answers and not just one.

Dan Bouchard love that song.
Jimmy Dean! Good songs...
I guess the husbands were out playing golf while the women were doing all that housework!
No, the husbands were at work so the wives didn't have to be. Who do you think paid the bills back then?
I was thinking of these as vacation homes!
No,they were out working earning a living so mom didn't have to work.
No traliler pk trash here!😀😘😘😘😂😂😂
You overlooked the sixty's shame.
They sure had nice legs back then.
OMG.. too funny
I would never eat from a dish that was not washed in a machine, hand washing is quite gross.
David Ronson lol okay bud
?????????????
Your ancestors did just fine with handwashing.
I wont eat from a plate washed by a machine. To me, that's even more gross.
Well back in the day dishes were hand washed. It's all on how you wash them. Hot soapy water. Dish washers don't always do so good sometimes. If you wash by hand you need hot soapy water. Soak dishes a bit and wash. Got to make sure dishes are clean.
