No way! Boston was bad enough in the 70's. You get robbed every corner you went down if you didn't know the locals.

@inkey2 Месяц назад

Probably not.....WW2, rationing, black-out drills on the coastlines, shortages, the military draft and many had to stay in the military for the full duration of the war even if disabled in combat. My dad was taken out of combat the first year and had to stay in till 1946 (6 years) and he was 40% disabled from shell fragments. They just rotated him all over the USA to different installations and camps. Just because he was an officer they would not discharge him. I might like the late 1950s better.

My first memories of downtown Boston are from the mid-1960s. I grew up in Scituate and a trip to the city was a big deal. It was interesting going from a rural (at the time) village to the bustling, loud and smelly city. I am still not comfortable around "city people" as my parents called them. But I live in a small Rhode Island city now and it's the best of both worlds for me. I can go to the country and the city in the same day! Cheers.

There's one parked at Boylston green line stop. I think it's a work car.

Boston's Mattapan Trolley still runs trains from this time. They were built in the 1940s and still in service after some overhauls. Ride the Red line to Ashmont and be prepared for a step back in time! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashmont%E2%80%93Mattapan_High-Speed_Line

Seashore Trolley Museum and Connecticut Trolley Museum each have at least one of these cars in operating condition. They are called Type 5 Boston cars.

Looks like either late 1949, or 1950.

The way streetcars and other vehicles interact without blocking each other. Even the parking is courteous and things flow smoothly. Makes you think maybe all the traffic control systems today are unnecessary.

This is ACTUALLY the mid-1950s. Look at the dates of the newest cars! And it is all so familiar as I was there as a kids and rode these trolleys & subways nearly every day.

Excellent video. I could just watch these videos all day. If only I could step back in time. Everything looks so real, people dressed so nicely. The sound of the trolley bell ringing and the cars puttering by. Authentic business names. Just love it!

Look how thin everyone looked back then. No overweight people in the 40s. No processed foods and sugars either.

@goldfieldfireworks7352 3 месяца назад

Everyone looks so grim and unhappy.

No they look normal. I’m sure they feel great internally as they didn’t have all that processed junk food we eat today. Nowadays we look “happy” on the outside, but most of us are sick and depressed.

Repeat: For reference,see BSRA bulletin 23,which covers Boston in the 1940's,and has track maps,car assignments,and gives an overall picture of the,then,Boston Elevated,MTA system! Did a few trips to Boston,at various times,rode the El,and used the Tremont Subway! Even saw Arborway in its prime! Fun fact,both Boston and New York have stations named Forest Hills,and both were,and are accessible by commuter rail,and subway! Boston was one better,as there were the streetcars! Past history,but one worth knowing! Thank you 😇 😊!

I'm 72 yrs old and this brings back memories -- especially the women with scarves over their heads. I remember my Irish catholic mother always going out with a scarf over her head.

I love dressing comfortable today but there is something to be said about the way people dressed back then, so put together and classy.

@evoz4489 3 месяца назад

Yes...back when it was attractive for a lady to have modesty and ACT like a lady and for real men not to have their boxers exposed because it was considered indecent to wear your trousers below your a** cheeks.

If i’m not mistaken, the shot at 2:47 is at 152 Mass Ave, Boston. Found a card for the “Carroll Perfumer” being sold on ebay with that address. Go into street view and compare the windows above the dunks to the windows in the vid. so crazy
