The last really great year of city life. Clean and safe. Downhill ever since.

Jon lord. Agreed. Deep purple ha

игра актеров конечно предельно устарела...

Before all the "persons of color" ruined it all ..... "

I’m walkin’ here… I’m walkin’ here!..

2:37 "One hundred and eighty Eight minute reprieves in all"

It's a trip how different Father Duffy Square looks now. I personally think Times Sq. is better now with Broadway blocked off as a walk-street.

This was shot right before Times Square and much of New York began to rapidly decline.

Thank you very much!!!!!

Where is the nearest Gucci Store or Louis Vuitton here

One day before the birth of the anti jesus, and doesnt it show.

Allied Chemical tower before it was covered with billboards - it’s still there today you just can’t see it anymore

Beautiful photos! The last calm before the country went sideways.😢

What a doll!

*Beautiful wide-open avenues. No stupid planters or annoying concrete barriers blocking lanes or ridiculous bike lanes causing manufactured artificial congestion.*

"Battle of the Bulge" premiered in December of 1965. Two months earlier, in October of 1965, Warren Spahn appeared in his last Major League Baseball game for the SF Giants. Warren Spahn fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

1:27 The Horn and Hardart Automat, Yay! 2:28 The Allied Chemical building, my father worked for Allied. I was 15 in April of '66 and I while it wasn't in Manhattan, I went to the Murray the K's Easter Show at the Brooklyn Fox. It featured, Joe Tex, the Young Rascals, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, Jay & the Americans, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Deon Jackson, the Shangri-Las, Patti LaBelle & the Bluebells, the Gentrys, the Royalettes. Was it better back then, it was to me! I'm 74, have a pretty good life and I'm in good health but I'd give up any years that I have left to go back and relive the 1960's!

Incredible!

This was fun. I moved there a year later. I had no idea that Radio Shack went back that far.

As a kid I watched this constantly as I was obsessed by dinosaurs I still am. This was always hilarious to me in the 90s it still makes me laugh!

I had no idea you guys lost esso, in canada we still have them!

Guess I'm still in the Liquid soap phase ..Reading these comments , I had no idea that you could use bath soap on dishes ..Yet , when I ran out of bath soap I used dish washing liquid..lol

I was 6 days old when this was filmed. Glad to see this is in color!

also,I, remember the center city statue getting decorated for Christmas each year.. We used to drive downtown at night to see it lit up....BACK THEN it was an "attraction" to see....also PP&L was right near there and was the tallest building in Allentown for a very long time.. They used to change their lights at Christmas time to green and red on top of their building it was also cool to see as a child.

I was born in 60 and my mother worked in the Hess Brothers store in the S&H GREEN STAMP REDEMPTION CENTER.

Not enough diversity...

6 months before my grand debut

1:49 the beginning of youth culture showing their disdain for society.......little a**holes. Hopefully, they got drafted to Vietnam

my old mans b day

My dad was killed that month I was born 5 months later!

Is the US a 'thrive country'? I hint not. 'Dean Martin' on many sign boards there huh? 😀😆Completely forgotten today today's youth have no idea who he was!

There's some pretty special footage in that video. And some really amazing shots

I was not born till 1967.

where did that world go?

and the 12 year old kid who gives a smile and middle finger. Perfect New York

I was there on the floor somewhere!!! Man what a flashback!!!

Not diverse enough. Let’s ruin it.

We left NY in 1966, when I was 6. We arrived in Miami on 8-1-66--just outside of Coconut Grove and Biscayne Bay. What a paradise--swimming with fish and manatees, flying kites, riding bikes, climbing trees, playing ball, etc.

Commenters hope to """GO BACK TO""" whatever TIME*DATE of these films as comparing THEN to NOW* From GOOD to BAD and FAIR to WORSE as the QUALITY OF LIFE keeps shifting!!! From the EMBARRASMENT of swiping a pack of gum in 1966 to NO EMBARRASMENT from swiping $900:00 DOLLARS of MERCHANDISE in 2024== HEY!!! I wonder if that """CHANGE OF MORALS""" has anything to do with OUR CITIZENS reactions in the comments????

Forgot how poor the resolution was on Super8mm cameras. The film format was small and the lenses were cheap. Then, if you moved the camera too fast, you got mostly blur. And at only about 3mins of film, it all went by too fast. An expensive hobby that I'm happy is no more. Video is so infinitely better. On a different note, I much preferred that Times Square, even with it's sleaze, to the Disney-fied , souless, styrofoam plastic wasteland that it's become today.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1:48 hahahahahaha hahahaha

I was 2 days old born in Boston

Nicely done, thanks for memories, odd enough, the date, if i remember correctly, last time there was my 80 graduation class trip, from Montrose.

Is there sound?

Before Tha blcks & brwns You Know....

To heighten the realism, I muted the sound, opened another tab, and played the Byrds' "Eight Miles High."

Had those phony souvenir stores-- it was allowing that sort of thing that was the first signs of the decline of Times Square in that era.
