I Remember the smell of McCormick's spices when we drove into the city.
Yes, great memory.
Thats in Cockeysville now..the smell of dill turns my stomach
That was the best part of riding past the Harbor then!
I had a school trip inside that spice company and went home smelling like spices.Good memories of the City.
YES!!!
Top of the Holiday Inn was a revolving restaurant. My Dad used to take me and my sisters there for dinner. Lovely memories! Thank you for the footage.
I always wanted to go in it.
bowecho I remember that. My brother told me that after a KISS concert he and his friends heard that all the band members were staying there. He told me they found all off them in that rotating restaurant and took photos of KISS without makeup. The band members made them give them the film from the camera and had them thrown out. I have no idea if it’s true. Personally I think my brother was lying but it’s possible. I never liked KISS , actually I hated their music. As a child I liked their costumes but hated their music. @the age of twelve I loved RUSH, AEROSMITH, ZEPPELIN, VAN HALEN, just to name a few . I’m sure you liked the same type of music. I wish I could build a time machine to go back to the time when life was worth living.
bowecho
I want there when I was a kid. 👍👍👍
Dunno why they didn't show the Bromo Setzer tower with the bottle still on top .
@@speedracer1945 THE BOTTLE WAS REMOVED IN 1936
I remember the inner harbor before the development. My dad used to take us there. It was was peaceful and quiet. I liked it better then.
Connelly's , the watermelon boat, and the old warehouses, like Rogers Produce, on Market Place
Memories, memories! Grew up in Bawlmere, Born at "Jon Hopin" Hospital. 1969 saw Led Zeppelin at the Civic Center, front row seats for $7.50. Still have ticket stubs. My date and I finished the night with dinner at the Circle One ( revolving floor) Restaurant on top of the Holiday Inn.
Class Act
Great memory. Sadly, that hotel and restaurant are now closed because of the pandemic.
@@lightbulb1952 ,ohh wow! Living in Philadelphia for 30 plus year's and originally from Baltimore Maryland. I ate in the revolving Restaurant back in the seventies and have often wondered if it was still There! Had Steak Dianne there for the first time.
7.50??? Holy crap. We went to see the stones about 6 years ago - $800 and we were up but over the stage area. Seen Zeppelin too in the 80's I think...we paid 100 or something like that but we had a connection that new Jimmy Page.
My brother saw Zep, Johnny Winter, and Jethro Tull at the racetrack. We saw Hendrix in May 69, and Spirit and Iron Butterfly later at the Baltimore Civic Center.
Need to bring it back.Used to be a proud & hardworking town.Its just old & broken with good memories. Jesus where have the times gone.Blaze starr 🍺👍😏
When I stop to observe the homes and see how they were designed and built, I always think to myself, "These people are hard workers".
I remember the bar at the block she danced at .
Irma the Body drove a pink mustang.
I was born on Charles St. on Nov. 19, 1960. We lived at 159 Southeastern Terr. I have lots of memories. Memorial Stadium, The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, playing baseball at Marrs Estates, the smell of crabs cooking in the neighborhood. My Dad worked at Sparrows Point for Bethlehem Steel. It is all gone now.
We lived in a row house. The man next door was a Baltimore City cop. Big Frank Tuma. I remember he used to do security at Orioles and Colts games.
His Overlord Upon High
Wow those were the days in Baltimore. 👍🇺🇸
I was born Jan. 59 in Pimlico. My dad also worked for Bethlehem Steel and loved the Orioles. Spent a lot of time in traffic on 33rd street.
@@MrAlbalto I live in Indiana now , but remain a loyal Ravens and Orioles fan.
My dad took us to see the Orioles many times at Memorial Stadium, Boog Powell, Luis Aparicio, Brooks Robinson. I saw them play the Yankees, with Mantle and Maris.
Anybody else remember the Gino's hamburger stand? That was before McDonalds?
In the late sixties I worked at the first Gino's in Dundalk, later transferred to Gino's on North Ave & St. Paul in Balto. Still remember their signature burgers...the Jumbo and the Gino
giant! Lets not forget, Gino's is where KFC chicken was introduced.
My mom was a dancer down at the block in the late 70s. She used to date a runner there named Albert. He was a nice guy.
Was last name Nester
My best friend wife used to dance at the end of Howard st then .
I was born in Baltimore 1966. My grandfather worked for Globe Poster. My dad went to Poly. I grew up in Parkville but my grandparents lived just down the street from Gwynn Oak Park. Good times.
I was 11 in 1966 and lived in Mt Vernon. Remember most of this well. The Constellation was on pier 3 or 4. Inner harbor was still a working harbor on Pratt St and was a pretty dirty area. It was the year that the Orioles won there first World Series.
Yes the Orioles won their first World Series, but what made that happen
was the big acquisition of Frank Robinson. All he did was hit .316, drill 49 homers and drive in 122 runs on the way to the AL triple crown, the first by an American Leaguer since Mickey Mantle in 1956.
@@armorybrunotjr.3204 I knew all of that but Actually I was talking about what how horrible Pratt street was at the time. I even remember a building advertising ( Beds Five Dollars ) witch means it was a flop house. Trash everywhere in the water, far wore that it is today. Now it was a great palce for watermelons or bananas coming right off a boat. My parents told me that Pratt and Light street was filled in and basically the front of McCormick was next to the water. How close I am not sure but sure wasn't like it was when I grew up.
@MrHans818 - Was the Mt. Vernon neighborhood gay in 1966 ? It was in 1982.
Kelloggs Better keep your pants on,
Roller derby at the civic center forever, Little Richard Brown could rock the house like thunder
my father and uncle ran a window washing company at that time. I hope one day to see them in a film from that time period.
Thanks for sharing!!!!
I was 9 living in Locust Point. Went to the harbor a lot to get watermelon off the boat. Was on the Port Welcome once for a class trip. Nice clip...thanks
I was on the Port Welcome for a school trip. We went to the Naval Academy and I got a horrible sunburn just on the front of my body. Lmho! It would be something if we were on the same school trip. Lol had to be in the 70's.
Your a little younger than I am. I was on the boat in the 60's. There was another older wooden boat for tours also. I can't remember the name of it tho. I remember it was painted with a dark paint. Port Welcome was white and blue trim.@@deborah5568
My dad walked from Patterson Park to the get watermelon at the harbor with his friends in the 1920s. On the way back it was dropped so they just sat down and started eating.
Years ago a door man told me the strip clubs went from the Bromoseltzer tower to the Police station and although much is gone now, that part was true. There must have been 100 strip clubs on Baltimore Street in 1966.
All but gone except a few scattered about town and rt 40
So they got rid of the strip clubs to make it safer and more respectable. How did that work out?
TOWER BUILDING
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix Nobody has money to spend there anyway. Those place are all outdated anyway. Just go to snap chat or whatever thots use.
Lawrence Fearon wow didn’t k know thar
Was a sophomore at Poly in '66, so this brings back memories of the Stinking Harbor, the Block, the Civic Center, and where did all the time go? Two years later I'd be shaking Nancy Pelosi's brother's hand at the graduating ceremony in the Civic Center. Best year the Orioles ever had. Good memories.
Hope you didn't get any on your hand. If so, keep washing! :-)
CITY FOREVER!
Condolences for having touched a Pelosis. Sorry but those types are the reason our country is about taken over by corporate elites
@@barbibutton9619 D ASSANDRO
After shaking her hand I hope you disinfected
I think one of these buildings on Baltimore Street is now the Hustler Club
They have a casino in downtown now .
Love ole time film showing my once upon a time as a resident. I've been long gone from this place , but I try to come back, to no avail , it's just not the same. Thank you for the memories.
I lived in Baltimore for fifty years. It was fun to see the constellation so many years before the refit.
I'm getting a sense of pride and progress within the city in this video, wish I could say the same for it today having to go there often.
Awesome thanks so much for uploading
My mom was 9 years old back then wow….. now I can get sort of a sense of her world back then…..❤ she was born 1957 and died 2012
I'm sorry for your loss
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing
Driving from Aberdeen on rt. 40 to Baltimore, going past Johns Hopkins, Green Street is where I saw Bonnie and Clyde in a theater in 1967. My dad was in the VA Hospital in 65,66.
Yes good old days had a 65 t bird just loved that car
I saw jimi Hendrix in 1969 at the Baltimore Civuc Center. I remenber the cars, the vudeo takes me back to being 12 years old in 1966.
My Sister saw the Beatles there for $5.50
I was 16.....I miss Hutzlers.
i was 10, My Mom worked at HUTZLERS when she was a teenager
Remember the Christmas displays in the storefronts with trains and stuff .
Blaze Starr used to work down there.
She owned the 2 O'clock club!
Pick any car, truck, or bus from that year. Put it in storage. Keep it nice. BOOM! Retirement money today! Amazing!
......could’ve bought a Vette for about $3,500, now it would be worth $100,000.00
I was born 88 nd I miss the smell of fresh baked bread walking up Edmondson ave
That Holiday Inn my uncle worked there. To see the cars the way people dressed so neat. This was the year I moved up here to MD from FL.
Lucky you , I did the opposite and hate Florida. 😳
Both of you must be liberal and hate any red state where there is true freedom
Emerson tower...by 1966 had taken the blue Bromo seltzer bottle off the top.
Baltimore Civic Center had Smokey Robinson and The Miracles one night Paul Revere and The Raiders another night and Tommy James and The Shondells another. I'm a New Yorker and that's intresting to see. I was 11 in 1966 and grew up in Harlem.
Pretty cool clip I was 7 years old when that was taken when I turned 18 I worked at the shipyard you have noticed in the beginning Bethlehem steel on key hwy.
My dad worked the ship yard..bethlum steel in 50s till 1963
I was a teenager back then 19 yrs old.
What memories! This was back when one out of every two or three songs played on WWIN was a Motown song!
And those cars! In '66, the plates were orange letters and numbers on black and all had "EXP-3-31-67" across the top.
Yeah before stickers . My first drivers license was made of paper no photo . I used to save the old one and change my birthdate so to get in bars at 16 .
I live in Western Maryland and won't go near Baltimore anymore. The last time we were there a rat ran past us crossing the street. I said Hey rat! Where you going so fast? He looked around and said Buddy, you mustn't live in this neighborhood or you wouldn't ask that question.
Well, OK, the part about seeing a rat is true.
From w Maryland too but was in Baltimore in the 90's at night, big rats. I used to call them city rats cause the ones in Western Maryland are miniature compared to those. Saw a guy having a seizure laying on the warm grates on the street. I asked the people I was with if we should help (they were from Baltimore, Howard counties). They said, "girl, u wanna get killed. Just keep walking". Sad
Civic center, saw Cream with the Moody Blues and Jimmy Reid on their farewell tour. Also Iron Butterfly with Steppenwolf. Yes, that is not the original Constellation. Maybe a salvaged part here and there during a Civil War rebuild. Still have a bronze coin struck form a spike. Allows one a free pass to tour the ship. Coin cost $1 in 1958 and went for the rebuild which took many years. Wally Bunker pitched a 1 to 0 game 3 with the Dodgers' Claude Olstein 1966 series.
Old Ironsides. USS constellation. I saw that ship many times with my grandfather in the early 80’s. Good times. 👍🏼
Old Ironsides is the nickname for the USS Constitution which resides in Boston.
@@ericcub78 my bad. It had some nickname for it. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. ✌🏼
Love the pics of key highway. Bethlehem steel shipyard I worked as a welder in the 70's it was a good job too bad the shipyard shut down.
1966 great year , and year I was Born...😊
Darryl Redding ,I was 10 years old and swimming in Pine Haven in Pasadena Maryland at my Grandparents waterfront house....those were the days!
Yes 👍
Man, this brings back memories! I was 11 and living in Pimlico in 1966. Went to St. Ambrose School and later on to Poly. I ventured downtown a lot in those days.
I was also 11 then, living in Northwood, went to Shrine of Sacred Heart in Mt. Washington and I think we played St. Ambrose in b-ball, and then went to Poly. At Poly were you in the "A" course, "B" course, or "T" course?
@@jimkennedy95 I started in the "A" course, then dropped to the "B" course in the middle of the 9th grade. I don't see you in my year book. What year did you graduate Poly?
@@Mxbarry I was in the A course 9th and 10th grade, then transferred to Boys' Latin. I was captain of the Frosh-Soph basketball team and we were MSA co-champions with Dunbar. Maybe we had some of the same teachers in 9th grade.
@@jimkennedy95 No wonder you aren't in my yearbook. We probably had some of the same teachers too. I started in the D6 class in "A" course, 9th grade.
@@Mxbarry I can't remember which D class # I was in. But teachers, yes. Jake Schuchman for Algebra. Old Mr. Whiteford for geometry. Mr. Jenkins for Physics. And for History, I cannot remember her name, but a blond-hair beauty.
The city's downtown revitalization was in full swing, with Charles Center development and plans for the inner harbor area. Crime was on the increase. However, city center was still considered relatively safe. The riots two years later, however, accelerated white flight (and later black flight) to the suburbs.
Loved the Civic Center/Royal Farms Arena, but needs to be replaced!
Leroy Bright yeah..too small!!
The only money maker in the whole city.
Excellent
Baltimore is a great city. I had lots of fun as a child . 2 popular news papers, the news america and the Sunpaper. My friends called me the Sun paper and my sister The News America.
Blaze Starr was a Baltimore Legend in my Hometown Baltimore Maryland
I was in Baltimore many times in 1966 and saw the Constellation, just like the people in the video.
I was born in balto in 1966 wow
That boat is still down the harbor. Omg
That same holiday inn hotel still downtown I use to stay in that hotel its was beautiful in there. Now its shut down due Coronavirus pandemic. Johns Hopkins hospital my job
Stay safe 🙏
My cousin only by marriage worked at the bunny club,I was in there for about a month and quiet .I did not feel it was me .money was good.
The fake news at 0:55 is the suggestion that the ship docked here is the Baltimore-built 1797 Constellation. That ship was dismantled in Norfolk (Portsmouth) and replaced with this 1854 Norfolk Naval Shipyard-built sloop. No, you are not looking at a ship built in 1797 and you are not looking at a ship built on this end of the Bay. “That ship has has sailed.”
Go fuck yourself with your fake news. Asshole.
Your right. That 1797 sign is misleading. However, I believe the dismantled 1797 sloop was used to build the 1854 Sloop. In fact, I have a Constellation coin which commemorates that project. The coin was allegedly made from melted down parts of the original sloop. Just an FYI
So it us fake news
I helped build that ship in 1797 you can see where I carved my name on it.
Skip Jack Lol.
Those were finer days, remember them well.
Look at all that adult activity.. wow Baltimore was the bomb
The USS Constellation sign saying built in 1797. After the complete overhaul it was determined it was a Civil War era design.
6:43...was it 'Dunny' who commented "that's gotta be the world's largest 'burger joint"? [it was a clothing store]
I used to think we were going to eat until we got into Hamburgers.My brother and I were bored crazy.
I was born in Baltimore in 1966 in sianide hospital
Inner Harbor looked so much more creepy back then...
Thats what is was then the harbor .
Good stuff
At the 2:24 minute mark, I see what appears to be a 1961 Sun Cab. In 1966, Sun Cabs were 1963 and 1964 Chevrolets.
I see you baby
I was looking at the cars too . Saw a sign that said steam washing for your engine lol
Orioles beat Dodgers 4 straight!!!!
I was dare when Palmer beat Sandy Koufax and game 2 hon
Andy Etchebarren was a catcher then
@@jamesharry1550 I met and got an autograph from Andy at Cooperstown NY...He was the Manager for the Iron Birds and they were playing the Bristol Tigers at Doubleday field. He was very nice
B-More has a lot of stuff good crabs I'm dc but only 30 minutes away I like the city of Baltimore Maryland
Antoine Peterson, I am originally from Pasadena Maryland and now have lived in Philadelphia since 1986 .Everytime I go back down there,I go to G&M Restaurant for their Incredible Crab cakes. You familiar with them?? Awesome Food!
@@michaelgaynor6866 I've lived in Philly (from Baltimore) since 1960. Now in Myrtle Beach. Most of the old, good, seafood restaurants are gone. I remember Gunning's for good crabs and soft-shell sandwiches. Now it's Jimmy's in Dundalk for the best crab cakes in East Baltimore. They were also on Guy Fieri's TV show.
There was a Viking ship prow statue, with a couple Vikings, life size, on a one story building on a pier. What was that?
The greatest Old Baltimore will never be seen again because of corruption
Was safe back then, then something changed?????????
Democrats. Only 1 Republican Mayor since 1947 (63-67) including Nancy Pelosi's father and brother. Used to be a major industrial and financial base. All industry is gone and only T Rowe Price has left a token location behind. Some have moved to Baltimore County, but most big employers are just gone. A lot of beauty just destroyed and filthy now.
I was seven years old in 1966, orioles traded for Frank Robinson, he hit 49 dingers and the birds won the world series. number 20 was also MVP that year winning the triple crown with most homers, highest batting avg and most rbi's in those days baltimore was baseball and baseball was baltimore. I lived in west baltimore zip 21216. 3603 gwynn falls park way two blicks down from garrison blvd. actually gwynn falls and allendale rd. that house is not there anymore. phone no. was in letters in the first to digits, I can still remember it was wilkins 7 0737. im 65 now.
Also, can someone look up who was Wrestling on Saturday, August 30, @8:30p.
Bruno Sammartino for sure.
@@OHRaceFan Probably Sky Low-Low, and Fuzzy Cupid lol
My mom Came from Jamaican into Baltimore md that same year when she meant my father and gotten married in the early 70th.. I see Domino's sugar company
.
My uncle's would come stay with us in Baltimore and you'd here the men joking about "The Block". My dad probably new it well, lol
The year I was born at St. Joseph's Hospital in Towson
Wow...me too.😊
The Inner Harbor didn't look as nice today but it was not a shooting gallery for Creature from the pants pulled down below the butt crack
The block back then was more like 3 blocks now it is a block . The lower end they made restaurants and regular college bars .
Okay my recording is all messed up it's jittery and everything I see two different pictures
I was 8 years old at this time and remember Read's on Howard St. had a restaurant up stairs and you could see down into the store. Hutzler's Santa Claus those were good days. Everything pretty much turned to shit soon after that.
Hecht Co. had a nice display I think on tne 7th floor. They had a train the kids could ride on when they went to see Santa. in the 60's.
My brother was born in 1966
MOM I HAVE TO BE ON THE CORNY COLLINS SHOW
What about Kirby Scott?!
I was 2 years old
So was I!
What the hell happened to Baltimore?!!!! I know all about the crooked and corrupt politicians, but how did thepoverty, crime, homelessness and lack of jobs get to a point like today?
That was John Waters Baltimore.
John is a great guy and interesting artist but he is not of this Baltimore. Like so many others, he was slumming it ,just passing through a unique time and place only to exploit it for its dirty realism. Sure he elevated the banal to a certain art form but we, his subjects, didn’t need his North Baltimore validation. We were and remain happy as we are. Free of bullshit irony and the tyranny of affectation.
John Waters grew up in Lutherville. I'm pretty sure so did Divine.
@@marilynlonsdale6424 Its not like its on the other side of the planet. For all intents and purposes it is Baltimore. He was in the city all the time. It shaped him and he set all his films there. I never said he was a native.
@@jeffmorse645 Not as much as it shaped those who were forced to call it home
@@dy9278 And turning them into the deviants we all know and love. Such a cool, weird old town!
All the asbestos and lead paint flying in the air when the wrecking ball hits
Anyone remember a toy store on Reisterstown Road in the 60's in a strip mall...would have been closer to Pimlico area and the zoo area. We used to walk there from our house on Newton Avenue off Reisterstown Road
I swear I remember my dad taking us to a toy store like that and bought us Christmas presents.
@@charlesmyers8150 yes and for years I've been trying to remember the name or find someone who does
@@barbibutton9619 I know in the 60's there was a toy store chain called Taubman's. I would a layaway for Christmas!
👍 😯 🍻
My mother was born two years before 66 I was born 85 #410
The good ole days....what happened???
Scott K, we got old!
The times and people have changed.I miss the old Baltimore though.
I know every area like the back of my hand. Lol
What about pratt street? Monroe? Best smack around
Bay Island
😳 Who is the woman on the Billboard? 😳 Does anyone know? 😳 Does anyone have more information, 🤓 yeah! We want to know!? Thanks!
Mike Cozzi, if it's the one I am sure you are inquiring about.....the Legendary Blaze Starr was a Baltimore Legend! You can Google her.
@@michaelgaynor6866 Thanks! Mike I'll check it out!
The Gayety burned down around 2014 I believe
Jeremy Bear the Gayety had a fire in 1969. It’s been restored outside and contains Norma Jeans, The Hustler Club and an adult book shop.
My old man bounced at the Midway.
sammyvh11 much respect. Standing on your feet all night was a tough job. But they had lots of interesting conversation. I probably would recognize him.
@@LawrenceMarkFearon Did you work at the block? If so, did you ever know a runner there by the name Albert.... Also there was a door man I knew named Jose..... and Bill at Crazy John's.
@@josephschroeder7778 No Sir. Never worked on the Block. Just knew a lot of good Baltimore folk in the business.
The politicians and corporate America have abandoned Maryland
I was just b👶rn
Me too may 18
Baltimore Street still the same!
When was the last time you were there? Its a dead zone now compared to this footage.
No the Block looks completely different now and doesn't go all the way down to the Bromoseltzer tower like in '66.
It no longer extended that far in 1982. I witnessed Baltimore Street then.
6:48 that kid looks out of place... like he's from 90's and not 1966.
Just a time traveler. 👌
Not really.
But if his pants were pulled down below his ass crack, then I would say he looked like a 1990’s kid.
Baltimore is still safe, just keep your hÿead on a swivel and be ready to throw hands if necessary. But this is true of most American City of
Cities.
How come this person whoever didn't flim the neighborhoods both black and white and how greenmount avenue used to look ?
Can't say for sure. But the film was from an orphaned home movie bought from ebay many years ago. The footage from this same reel was also showing Washington DC, so I think this is all vacation footage.
Because it wasn't on their agenda
Probably because Greenmount Ave wasn't a tourist spot, then or now.
We used to piss in the harbor

Read about Baltimore before domestic extremists destroyed it: H.L. Mencken [1880-1956], The Days Trilogy, Expanded Edition, Marion Rodgers [1958- ], Editor; The Library of America (2014 hardcover). Note: Originally three books, as follows: Happy Days (Knopf 1939); Newspaper Days (Knopf 1940); & Heathen Days (Knopf 1941)
It’s been down hill ever since 💩💩💩💩
Nothing wrong with the video but you should rename it. It's not Baltimore 1966 LOL. It should be Baltimore's Block 1966 😆
I received over 420 blowjobs in Fell’s Point and Patterson Park. Time it was, time it was, it was a happy time........
