Lived in Baltimore for 30 years , been gone 40 years , it's not the same
Didn't run , moved to the South ,I wasn't trying to be smart I was just telling the truth nothing the same any more ,any body with any kind of common Sense knows that
EABOY2600, if someone asks me where I am from, I always say Baltimore?!
EABOY2600 jealousy is an ugly way to live
40yrs later, you aren’t the same either.
I also was born and raised in Baltimore. And I left 45 years ago. You're right. It's not the same. The pictures in the video show a city full of bright new buildings. Now there are a lot of poor people living in those same buildings over 100 years later. The buildings and infrastructure are crumbling now and it's no one's fault. The people with good jobs and money deserted Baltimore for the suburbs in the 70s and 80s. If anyone's to blame, it's them. Obviously it's not the same.
Laying my dear cousin to rest in old Baltimore in 3 days. We will miss you Albert Wayne Johnson Jr. 😓🙏💜🙏
These are photos are a beautiful reflection of human industriousness and creativity in erecting architecture alongside and with the assistance of horsepower derived from horses and steam engines.
My 3rd Great Grandfather, Valentine Rehberger, immigrant from Darmstadt-Hesse, immigrated in 1836, started the first Huckster business in Baltimore in 1866. He was also one of the founders of Knights of Pythias and is in the front row of the Knights of Pythias photo at the meeting in Washington D.C., also in 1866. His Huckster business operated out of a building on Hull Street. He later bought a House on Hudson St, don't want to say where but his House is still there but now modernized apartments. My 3rd, 2nd and great grandparents were all "laid out" in that House. Two of his grandsons graduated from Johns Hopkins and one had a career in the Military and was a surgeon with Roosevelt in Cuba. I grew up on Hudson St, also lived on Pratt and Madeira, South Elwood, one house up from Elliot across from Mr. Steve's grocery store. Lexington Market, Ice Milk and Potato Quarters with the skin. In the 70's my cousin and I used to Shuck Oysters at the Fish Market. My mother was also a member of "The Committee" on the Buddy Dean show back when that was on.
Thanks for your post. My husband and I were also committee members on the Buddy Deane Show. A lot of us still get together for dances (yes - we're old, but we're still dancing!) Check out Buddy Deane Committee on Facebook for photos of us -- now and then!
I miss the wholesale fish market on Market Place. Used to get oysters there at lunchtime during oyster season and take them home in a cooler packed with ice. My mother used to tell me about Lexington Market when it was still just open stalls as in the photo. She said you could see rats running all over the stalls when walking by the market in the evening after it closed. Yes, you could walk around downtown at night without worry of getting killed. She used to walk all the way across North Ave. from Poplar Grove St. in west Baltimore to Milton Ave. on the eastside to visit her grandmother. I miss the big downtown department stores and the old streetcars. Most of what I loved growing up in Baltimore in the 1950s and '60s either no longer exists or is in a museum. Only some of the ornate brick rowhouses dating back to the late 1800s/early 1900s still exist that I've loved since early childhood.
Lexington Mkt is still rat-infested and now heroin junkie infested too.
I worked most of my life for BG&E. For about a year in 1976 I was in the main building at Lexington & Liberty. I always enjoyed walking up to the Market and getting garden salads to have with my lunch. They had the best bleu cheese dressing to go with it. Also enjoyed getting ice cream at Mandy's Polar Parlor and fresh roasted nuts at the Little Peanut Shoppe along Lexington St. The downtown shopping district was still a very busy place in the '70s and I always enjoyed a shopping trip downtown. My earliest recollections of going downtown are from my pre-school days, and riding the #15 streetcar from west Baltimore down there with my mother. She liked shopping at Brager Gutman's and I remember being a bit afraid of riding the old style gated elevators the store had. They kept those old elevators with ladies operating them all the way up to the store's closing in 1983. By the time I was in my teens, I thought those old elevators were more fun to ride and really miss them now.
Martin Middle River, GM Broening Highway, Sparrows Point Mill and Shipyard gone.
Beautiful...back then
Baltimore has beautiful architecture. Every time I see the courthouse I'm in awe,the marble brass woodwork, Eutaw place Aucantrolly Terrance, Druid hill.
Thanks for posting!
Baltimore does have a lot of history.
That's right it is history. Look at it now
No trash, better days.
no people either :)
Those pics were awesome 👌
I was born in Baltimore in 1957. It’s very different now than in my formative years
that was awesome
That music's driving me crazy..🙄
love the photos though.😌
Beautiful picture I'm still here and it's a big change
Then: Give me some bricks and I will build you a city.
Now: Give me a city and I will give you broken bricks.
🤔
Give me bricks of dope ill be ok lol
Looks awesome
I love that these photos are before and after the great Baltimore fire in the early 1900’s
I have to say I was somewhat depressed watching this slide show. When you visit Baltimore today, it's a fucking cesspool. 60 years of Democrat control.
Baltimore was a great city to live in back in the 60s
The cathedral is called the Basilica of the Assumption
What happened to this once jewel of Americana?
Ghettos...
Democrats
Blacks
all of the above!
@@terryvincent5799 Pretty racist you turd! Actually what happened to black people is the same thing that happened to Baltimore, white "progressive democrats" with their progressive stench infected the body and destroyed it like pancreatic cancer.
Cool. Some buildings show signs of buried lower levels from mud flood.
This also caught my eye!
Democrats KILLED and trashed Baltimore!!!
Yes, I lived there for a year and the place is a shythole!! I'm from NJ and it reminds me of a bigger Camden NJ, which once was a prosperous, beautiful industrial/port city on the Delaware river, decades of democrat control have totally destroyed it. It looks like Mogadishu in Somalia now, no I take that back I don't want to insult Somalis, they ride thru Camden and Baltimore and THEY laugh.
Democrats huh
Yup they been in power since forever and Baltimore keeps electing them.
Are those neon signs at Lexington Market?
Lexington market actually looks nice, wow.
See my post above - Yes, it was "the" place to shop.
The place to buy slaves too
@@ric05369This was 1900s not 1862
@@jtmassecure4488 the date says 1870 lol , i’m sure 10 years prior slaves came through there
In the beginning it said business district and you can see the sign that says "Gayety" which is now the infamous "Block" Baltimore's Soddom and Gamorah.
Sad that now it looks like the ghetto.Every city was once Beautiful.
Nice reflections for me
Ay Hon I think dat chestnut vender wuz Ronnie and Lil' Butchies Great Granfodder..aint dat sumtin!? He youzed to live on Ford ave
You have to be a Baltimoron to get the joke! lol
@@annetempera1945 born and raised. How 'bout dem O's
RIP Baltimore.
Super
1:31 i live a block from this building now....looks the same...charles street and eager street.
It was in better condition over 100 years than it is today! Hmm I wonder what the difference could be....
It aged. Got old. Just like everything from 100 years ago
3.03 looks like Baltimore st. Looks strange like the train station having no Charles st.
Was mt royal station flooded?
Loved the music! Does anyone know the name of this piece?
Yes, it was Run DMC
Do you still want to know? Wet Teapot by Emily Sheppard
Nothing last forever-not even life
A typical antic Tartarian city covered by early 19 century mud flood. All lower floors are half visible. They can't build this type of buildings today. It was a high civilization totally different from today's gray stuff
All those people on street are history
sounds about me...
Happy Black history month. Geez, why can't Christmas be a month long. 😫 nah just kidding, no holiday should be a month long.
several mudflood bldgs
Sad what a few decades of blacks can do to a city.
SilverDragonEyess Maybe next time you’ll think about enslaving a race of people.
I don’t know what age you are but you better be 75+ because if I see any racist guy that’s not over that age in person I’m gonna beat h the shit out of them. Now is not the time for a new generation of racists you piece of shit.
@@royalpriesthood4413 I bet you learned it from your piece of shit Racist parents too
@@brademic4908 I am not racist.I am 57 and can still fight.
Damn my ancestors was slaves
What does that have to do with this video. Blacks had been freed for 35, 40 years by this time. If you dwell in the past you will never grow past it.
Bye
Your not one now and remember 650.000 men died to get you freedom.
Skip Jack oh the men and women that I am a part of? Cool thanks for the history lesson
tay stevenson No, that’s 650,000 WHITE men that died fighting slavery. It was called the Civil War you jackass.
