Which city would you like to visit in 1930s?
Las Vegas.
I'd monopolize the casino business before the mob thought of it.
Muuuuuuuuuuuahahahha. 😈
Edmonton (Alberta, Canada). Lots of iconic buildings that existed in the 30s have since been demolished (the Edmonton Journal building [1929], the Tegler building [1912], the Arlington apartment building [1909], Edmonton Public Library's old Central Library building [1923], the old downtown post office [1910], the Canadian National Railway Station [1928], the Imperial Bank of Canada building [1907], the Merchants Bank of Canada building [1906], and so much more).

@@rorocyr2693Il me semble que c'est une bonne ''propagande'' de sensibiliser les gens aux graves impacts de leurs actions. Si vous reniez l'impact que la pollution a sur la planète, vous reniez, par le fait même, la science. La nature reprendra ce qu'il lui appartient tôt ou tard... et heureusement pour vous, vous ne serez plus de ce monde pour en témoigner mais vos enfants et vos petits-enfants le seront. Honte à vous d'être aussi égoïste.
En effet, ce ne sera plus jamais pareil. Les changements démographiques et le déclin de l'Occident en général, font que nos grandes villes sont de moins en moins viables.
A lot of that footage is amazingly current. Some changes occurred, of course, but the basic outline is the same. Montreal is my hometown, and I filmed and photographed it for more than 40 years and your clip is right on the money!
I don’t think Montrealers know how truly lucky they are to be from this city. It remains joyful, rustic, bohemian and cultural.
At least there is one of me who knows... (and probably a couple more...)😁
Sadly nowadays a lot of people don’t appreciate this beautiful city. The best proof would be that Montreal never has been so dirty. Its inhabitants lost their pride of their city.
I absolutely love living in montreal
@@jo-annbastings we did not lost our pride. Others who don't care, came and stole it from us!
@@PR-fk5yb of course it’s gonna be the other’s fault….We are all responsable for the lamentable states of our streets. Look how many masks on the sidewalks and streets. I’m not in a rush to see the parks after the snow melted. That’s everybody’s fault! The grimacing mayor we’re stuck with right now is also a big part of the problem. She uselessly took care to change direction of certain streets. She prioritized the bike paths over the sidewalks about the snow and ice despite the disabled people needs to go out during winter. And I don’t want to waste more time with her stupid idea of ‘playful streets’ when we have safe parks and gated schoolyards. Montreal is an awesome city but since too long now we have incompetents at city hall.

i don't suppose there is any vintage footage of buenos aires? it was one of the richest countries in the world back in the early 1900s!
there was a saying back in those days, "As Rich As An Argentine" - they don't say that anymore!
Please can you do one on Mogadishu? It used to be an amazing city before the civil war. Look up videos from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
C’est tellement impressionnant de voir la façon de vie avant. J’habite à Longueuil, c’est un banlieu de Montréal ♥️
Une vidéo fort intéressante! J'aime bien l'histoire. Merci!!!
Great video, but this was from the early 1920s, not 1930s. You can tell from certain parts of the McGill University campus that were there in this remastered video, but were gone or had been changed by the late 1920s (e.g., sun roof of Dawson Hall). You can also tell from the caps and dresses of the women which were no longer in fashion by the early 1930s.
Thank you for your accuracy. I am not sure about that "Saint-James street" either, looks more like St-Jacques or Notre-Dame (old Royal Bank) when the business district was still in the old Montreal

As a Montrealer I find this to be a wonderful video. I think I saw my father in the crowd. He moved to Montreal in 1915 when he was eleven years old from England. I know all these places.
There is something about those time and the way camera started. Amazing work adding sound and color. mesmerizing!

Amazing job. The sound really connects you with the reality being shown on the footage. Fascinating to see how much of our city weve been able to keep, despite a lot of criticism that would make you think otherwise.
Wonderful video! I could stare at these images for hours.
Born in the 1960s and grew up in Montreal in the 70s and 80s.. The cars were different, but the buildings looked pretty much the same.
It's fascinating how some of the locations BARELY changed in 100 years
Потрясающе! Спасибо!
Thanks
"Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)" well of course, because of the film degradation with time, and a bunch of other factors, it's still fairly accurate, but not pinpoint pixel-perfect 100% accurate. For an almost 100 years old film, it's still great colorization.
great. but I think you need to decrease saturation and gamma, increase contrast a little. I've tried to do it with screenshot - and after it the image looks more realistic

C'est encore aussi propre au centre-ville et au vieux.

@@ehjo4904 fuck tu reste ou toi? Propre?
Why does the title of the video suddenly refer to the _thirties,_ now? I thought "yes, it's the twenties", all the time, because of the plain cloche hats (without feathers) of the women. Also the style of the dresses is plain, still, not yet as masculine and cold as I'd expect it for the thirties. The same goes for the cars. Consistently, their windshields are still nearly vertical.
As someone pointed out, some of the footage is from at least 1930 as the Jacques Cartier bridge is shown. 1920s fashion (in particular, cloche hats) were still relatively common until ~1933.
@@andrewfusco7824 The Jacques Cartier Bridge seems to have a narrow interspace in the middle, still. It was opened in the middle of May of 1930, while foliage trees in full leaf are visible for such a cool place at which you'll see them only later in the year.
People in real life didn’t keep up with the latest fashion, they wore their clothes for years.
@@abcdeshole I just have watched a young lady, on a walk, who even today did look much like such a figure in a cloche hat of the twenties. But I'm rather thinking of some form of _reincarnation_ of the fashion.
it's so nice that none of them are looking down at their phones and are actually talking with one an other
I’m a 62 year old Montrealer born in Montreal General 1961. My Dad was born in Maisoneuve in the east end in 1918 my Mom in 1925. This was their youth. Wow.
Most of those site are still unchanged! The most dramatic changes is from the Belvedere, the cityscape have way more highrise. My mother in law was working in the building just east of Notre-Dame in 1950. She was going to work with the tramway (replace now by the underground), funny to see Place d’Armes with the tramways.
Beautiful! I like the colorization, it provides a more immersive experience. I love to recognize familiar landmarks, and then discover buildings, marquées and storefronts that no longer exist. Thanks for putting this out. Great work.
Beautiful, very proud of my hometown! Dominion Square is where I used to take my lunch breaks in the late 90s, early 2000s 😊

One thing I noticed in all of these videos about European and North American cities and about the people is their dress. They are all well dressed, at times overdressed for our times today. And even the poor you notice are better dressed than most people today. This brings me to think that the contention of many historians and academics today is not really wrong when they theorize that Western Civilization is today in a precipitous decline. Just look at the way most people dress and look today; Tattooed, pierced, private parts almost showing on girls who wear tights, men with no shirts, men with shorts in almost all urban settings, earnings for men and women, baggy clothes, pants under the buttocks, etc... It is the jungle out here. Anyone who watches these videos would immediately notice the difference and would undoubtedly at least come to the realization that there is something right and just about the way these people were dressed and that there is something about our dress today that would indicated that we have most certainly declined as a civilization.
Notice: Race hustlers, leftists, communists, democrats, RINO republicans, self-hating white degenerates, and Anti- Americans are welcome to comment but no one will take your irrational comments seriously. I myself am an African American immigrant from Africa by the way!!!
Thx i live in province of quebec , im not english but i Understand what you says , im 💯! 👍
Another phenomenal video
I would never have thought that Montreal was bustling with action back then . People in general so well dressed. This was 30 years before I was born in Montreal .Thank you for this amazing video.
It is a surprising sight indeed. We tend to forget, even living there, that Montreal was still Canada's economic center and its most populous city back then.
And it's a very good occasion to remind current Montreal Mayor that there was a Tramway in Montreal in 1930 !!! :-D
Good old streetcar, basically a small bus 10 meters on iron wheel.
@@glaframb More energy-efficient, faster acceleration, and longer service lives than buses! 🚃🚃
It is so clean! No trash! People dressed neatly and sober elegance. A vanished way of life. 😢
Wow no construction cones. Haven't seen that in my life time and Im a Montrealer in my 30s
Please bring back the trams 🙏 🚋
Great video ❤️
Wow that's amazing, my father was born in 1928 and my mother was born in 1932 it sure was a different time back then
7:44 that seaport, was infamous, when slaves were brought over, if they were being difficult, they would leave them bound, slit their throats and throw them right beside the port, even today, they still find human remains and report it in Montreal Gazette.
Montreal and New York Sea Ports, were owned by Dutch merchants, they paid French, British and Irish to find slaves, bring them back to North America and sell them, they did the same to Indigenous, tons of pictures and footage available on these same slides. the channel operator either removed them or got this footage second hand, it is on MicroFiche in Ottawa, at the Canadian Archives, Viewable by all who wish to see the truth of what these people did to the indigenous and Tribes of Canada
I hope they add trams back to some busy streets.
Saint Laurent or parc ave would be great for starters
Ils avaient de la chance , leur époque c'était la vraie vie tranquille, c'est pas comme notre époque .Juste d'après leur mode vestimentaire on voit la pudeur et la chasteté . aujourd'hui

WHERE ARE THE ORANGE CONSTRUCTION CONES?!?!?
The constant haze or fog like in the air was pollution. Not only prone to Montreal at the time. That's why "sanatorium" were popular outside the city for people with lung issues.
Beautuful.
thank you
Superbe restauration, on a vraiment l’impression d’y être, merci.
I live in Southern Cal and went to Quebec and Montreal last year. Montreal still has most of those buildings and they value their historic architecture.
I was thinking the same! So many videos make me sad that it's not like that anymore, but this video didn't make me sad, Montreal still preserves the original beauty and mix it with the new. Other cities seem to want to destroy everything for the new. Or at least in other Canadian cities, not sure how it is in US.

I am a Montrealer, my parents were 1 years old when these images were captured. Looking at the elegance of the people, I understand better how keen my dad was on dressing so well. He was a dandy. And my mom to this day dresses up nicely every time we visit her or we go out with her. Montreal was truly a word class city and it has recaptured its beauty over the past few decades after a period of neglect.

Deux sophismes majeures dans tes arguments : l’appel à la tradition et la fausse analogie.

"Lafontaine Park in the French sector of the city"!
Back in the 30s, st. James was the Wall Street of Canada. Then, in the 70s Toronto's Bay Street became the new Wall Street of Canada.

For a city from the 1920s, it looks very well kept and organized, with lots of green areas. What does not convince me is the artificial coloring of these old movies. The purple "color" always predominates. Instead of putting a previous black signboard to refer to a specific place, it would be better to overprint it on the film.
I like the way the signboards precede passages of the video material. Thus, the latter can be watched completely and without a distraction.

Its crazy that we can see the victoria bridge that clear from the mount-royal Belvedère. The fleuve St-laurent seems so empty with only one bridge this side.
Plus people forget that the city of Montreal is an island. This is where the St. Lawrence River splits and the city of Montreal is surrounded by the St. Lawrence on all sides. The northern island suburb of Montreal is the city of Laval. On the north side of Laval the branch of the St. Lawrence turns to the northwest and becomes the Ottawa River. The rest of the St. Lawrence splits Montreal and Laval in half and then flows southwest again, eventually where St. Lawrence flows into Lake Ontario and the rest of the Great Lakes. That is why when you look down on the city of Montreal from the top of Mount Royal ( a magnificent view and where the city gets its name) you can see all of these bridges that cross the river into the city.
Look very carefully @ 7.05 m. You will see Jacques Cartier Bridge wich went into service early 1930.
