Detroit, Michigan 1920s in color [60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added

in which city in the world do you want to live in 1920s???

They stole reality from us all.

Pre African American Detroit was beautiful. Now it looks like Hiroshima.

Signs of an old city: live chickens and car horns that go "AahOOOgah!"

Excellent views of Detroit in 1920s

Hustling and bustling. The complete opposite of what Detroit is today, save for the downtown core. Sad, just so damn sad, to see what happened to one of North America's most important cities.

автомобили производятся - город процветает!

Everybody is dressed up..Amazing...No one is slumming..Thanks for uploading this..

I winder what my 2nd grand parents were doing that day ...

What I always notice in these old films and black & white photos is the haze in the air. None of the cars and trucks of that era had any kind of emission controls and all the homes and business buildings burned coal for heat.

What a beautiful world we used to have.

BEFORE the Internet and Digital Age! 😢

Demographics is destiny

Un mondo che non esiste piu',se si potesse tornare ,io sarei felicissima vedere e sentire il fragore dei bambini che oggi non si sente piu' tutti incollati ai telefonini.che tristezza!..grazie per quello che fate

I see why so many people got ran over

Very interesting, to say the least, that the city looked much much habitable and prosperous 100 years ago. It has truly become a shadow of it's former self

Nessa data faleceu o ultimo irmao Dodge....

Un mio parente è emigrato a Detroit dall'Italia nel 1924 ma si sono perse le tracce dopo pochi anni.

Before the blacks ruined the city.

As a life-long, and current, resident of Detroit, how fun it is to watch and try to recognize what's still standing, as well as see what we now consider old buildings just being built. Thanks so much for sharing this.

What changed? 🤷🏿

Was in Detroit spring of 2019 for a wedding andwhen the economy was in much better shape. In downtown Detroit i saw soup lines that stretched down and around the block.

when democrats take over you get the detriot we have today... dirty nasty crime riden city

My father was born 1928 in Detroit, My Mom moved to Detroit 1949 and I was born in Detroit 1956...My father's parents both immigrated to USA and settled in Detroit immediately. I have a lot of relatives that immigrated from Italy to Detroit and from Poland to Detroit eventually. Thank you for this video :)

Everyone impeccably dressed and a beautiful city. One hundred years ago and much better than today. Also, much less technology, no annoying smart phones or most all other so called modern conveniences.

No obesity epidemics nor artificial food processing in these days....incredible.

Joseph and today 😀

I live in Detroit Michigan and I swear I saw the church in the thumbnail while driving by💀

What immediately stands out is the awesome energy of the place...it makes you wish you could have a few days back in time to experience it in its heyday. I lived in the city 2019 through 2021 (and then covid hit), in West Village. It was a bittersweet experience and the city certainly is rich with culture, at least what's left of the truly urban part. But I can't help but imagine how awesome it would be still if it hadn't lost 2/3 of its population.

no nijja

No color tv. No color clothes no color cars evertin black

No TV. Bug family's. Alot people

It`s saddens when you think that all of them have passed away. As a time traveler, if I were well healed, I`d travel to places and see things that no longer exist.

my Detroit! they should’ve kept the trams and trolleys. Very nostalgic seeing the prosperous city once was in the early 1900s

before Detroit turned into a toilet look how clean it looks the clarity on these videos are amazing back then they couldn't have dreamed these videos could ever look like this.

Detroit was so much nicer back in the day when this was taken. Before the advent of the cars it was nicer still, as evidenced in the clips taken away from the streets. Americans became addicted to the expanded freedom of travel offered by the automobile and by the 1950s became enslaved to it, fulfilling George Orwell's dystopian slogan, Freedom Is Slavery, in his novel 1984.

And the trolleys! You can clearly see they were being slowed down by the surfeit of these primitive, old timey automobiles. The solution wasn't to enact permanent bustitution and rip up the tracks, the solution was to build level boarding subways, refit the trolleys and run them underground.

Cars ruined everything.

What i would do to live in the 20s, get away from all of tge pointless wars of the mondern generation

My dad was born in 1921, my mom born in 1923 (she's 99 now)...I like to think that my grandparents were out there in downtown Detroit with their kids shopping, or whatever...the two of them to later meet, fall in love before the war, and married thereafter, have 3 nice kids. Me being the last one ("by mistake")! LOL. Thanks!

Sad to think that the only living people would be babies then and probably far and few between. Most Everyone else, in a grave somewhere. A lot in a ww2 grave.

Lets add in some diversity and see what happens

Everyone's wearing a hat

Glad to see Detroit has turned into ruins by the lack of people taking any pride in working for a living!😢

When people and cities had class and self-respect.

Back when people had some class and style

эти исторические восстановленные кинокадры при их просмотре меня просто завораживают! Это что то прошло сто лет, но всё смотрится захватывающе!!

Lives were simpler. Recreation was relaxing. There was community even in the big city.

That toddelin' town... Chicago. ❤
