California 1930s in color, San Pedro, Olympic Blvd [60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added 

People forget that this was the depression, my grandparents often told me about soup lines etc.. my grandfather did any kind of menial job that was offered simply to put a little food on the table.

Yes, I would like to have lived back then.

@@lilajagears8317 Even with the depression, the people were much happier than today! And they had purpose, national pride and unity! America was still one nation under God, and a glorious nation. Now sadly, the West is falling.

@@lilajagears8317 Give me the great depression, I give you WOKE, Rainbow Nazi propaganda and all the perversion we are living now. I don't care about the economy if the values are intact. Europe after WW2 was way worst than the Great Depression and the people survived with strong ethic and family values, like Americans after the GD. Today, we are encouraging school kids to be ashamed of their ancestors and to change their sex.

Maybe we did…..

Makes more sense. Although I'm not as familiar with that part of LA, that is not Pedro, too flat. And there's no Olympic street in Pedro that I remember . Thanks for the clarification.

I challenge folks to go take a peak at Google maps to see what San Pedro and Manchester intersection looks like today. (looks like shhh!)

@@truthseeker6377 Definitely.

Any guess what school these kids would be going to...doesn't look like Pedro but more like South LA

@@harryclay6256 Definitely Fremont HS.

Whoa, My Dad was a Montreal Native, he was born in 1929, the year of the Great Depression. He moved to San Diego Cali. Where I still Reside, after the Navy in Korea, in 1951 I believe. So I'm guessing Tour Mom & My Dad were Youngsters in Montreal at Roughly the Same time💙🩵😁

@@jpr1845 I grew up in the San Diego area! Wish I could have Afforded to live there!.40 s to 50s!

thank you

As a vintage clothing aficionado with 25 years of experience, I'd say you are correct - 1936!

At time marker: 8:30 you can see a theatrical poster for "The Drunkard" which was playing in Los Angeles for over two decades. It open in 1933 and the poster shows the production on it's 5th year: 1938

@@nwicconsultants6640 You may be right. It can be difficult to tell year by clothing in the late 30s. People were thrifty with their clothes. Dresses and trousers were constantly mended and reused. Same can be said for WW2 era.

Samuel Gompers Middle School there was founded 1937@@jjsolis8259

www.heritage-history.com/site/hclass/secret_societies/ebooks/pdf/butler_racket.pdf Major General Smedley Butler, along with MacArthur and Eisenhower, were ordered to fire on their own in the Bonus Army incident in 1930. Butler refused, remained a two star general and wrote this book.

My father lived near Olympic and highland in the 1930s. He said almost half of the men in LAHS class of 1941 died. That may be an exaggeration, but all his childhood buddies died in ww2

@@bennri That is really sad to hear that he lost so many friends from School. Los Angeles county lost a total of 9,283 in WW2 out of a total population of 2,785,643 as of 1940 which is a ratio of 0.3% but of course the recruits were of a specific age group so it stands to reason.

not many. it was the sovietunion who won the war and defeated the nazis, which were armed and rebuilt by Usa and UK to destroy the sovietunion.

​@@drscopeifyYes. Around 400 thousand Americans lost in WW2. But of course only around ten to twenty percent would serve in the infantry or front line roles. The vast majority in support roles. By late 1944 for example they were so short of available infantry in France they were rushing them to the front line. So many had been killed and wounded since D Day. Stephen Ambrose the Band of Brothers author wrote about this in Citizen Soldiers.

Many Croats were living in San Pedro during the time of the video

This is not the city of San Pedro. This is San Pedro street near Manchester in Los Angeles.

That's not San Pedro, it's San Pedro Street. They need to change the title.

@@jjsolis8259 exactly.

Yes, they look too well dressed, and this is definitely not San Pedro. Probably LA.

It actually makes watching this fucking horrible lol.

It does humanize them. before they were just...there...now theyre intreaging.

Or kids with drugs and guns as well!!!

They had lockers at school and very little homework.

I noticed that it's not a video from the 30s. That's, at best, late 40s early 50s but still a world of difference

@@brianboye8025 They had very little homework? I don't think so.

​@@peanutbuttergirl6098thirties and forties. Not fifties.

Because they walked , ate healthy food

And, what traffic?

I don't think they were hungry. Food back then wasn't stuffed with garbage like it is today.

Thank you bro!

I do too. When you watch movies or anything else that’s staged from this time, it’s exactly that: staged. Compared to today where everyone has a camera, back then, if someone has a camera, it’s typically big, rare, and probably an exciting event (as one can see from those who realized they were being filmed).

Me too❗️❤️

My mom was born in Los Angeles in 1930, she passed away in 2022 @ 92.

thank you so much

You are seeing one 9 minute video, hardly enough to gage what people were like back then. Human nature doesn't change, only the technology. This is merely a tiny glimpse of one stretch of street in California shot 90 years ago. I bet there was road rage, incivility and lots of other bad things we see today. You could shoot the same amount of footage today somewhere else (or the same place) and get the same impression.

user-xx.... - When you spent as much time as I did, hanging around an old barbershop, where 90% of the customers were WWII veterans, you learn much. These old timers always talked about America at that time and how much better it was then than it was back in say, the 90's, at that time. The video is accurate and human nature has drastically changed. I couldn't disagree with you more.

@@MrRJDB1969 Human emotions and therefore human nature have not changed. We still have greed and jealousy, wars and human beings struggling to win power and dominate other human beings. Maybe a future war (in the not too distant future either) really might be the end of all wars (as they said in WW1 - ha ha) if it goes nuclear, and there's a better than even chance it will. The world is a tinder box armed to the teeth with nuclear missiles and people like Putin and Kim Jung threatening to use them. Those old timers you mention were comparing one era to another, probably the 1930s, when the country had no financial safety nets to later when it did, like social security. People still make those comparisons today, just as they have done for millennium and will continue to do. We are a destructive species, my friend. Always have been, always will be.

@@user-xx2hj7xb6bThe voice of reason. These nostalgic films always seem to bring out the same unhappy people talking about the good old days. Yes some things were good and some not so good just like any era and any place. Glad you put it in perspective.

Totally agree. I live in México but this the USA I still have in my mind. I wish I could live in a place like this.

LA was cleaner back then then it is now.

Keep in mind, it became more developed after the war with the baby boom

Exactly.

Oh, thanks for the clarification! I wondered when I saw the "West Wilshire" sign.

@@user-sr6ti2tn1e your comment doesn't even make sense. #LowIQ

@@BettyBlack99 who cares?

I didn’t recognize any ‘38 cars, tho’ there could have been. At 8:56 there is a ‘37 Chevy facing head on at the intersection.

I was thinking about the same, in terms of fashion.

@@LaurenMirandaG Yes, and the girls hairstyles too.

I was thinking 1940 at the earliest... "new" cars would have been few and far between.

I was thinking about how the kids dressed the same way as our grandmas and grandpas.

Should the title read "San Pedro St."? It's definitely not San Pedro because I grew up there and that's not it.

¡Muchísimas gracias! Evocativas imágenes de un pasado feliz. ... Ni se imaginaban esas gentes la descomposición social que vendría con el tiempo.

I agree. At first i was on the fence with the colorization but i actually like how it fades in and out occasionally and reminds us even though photos and film of the time were black and white the world was still in color.

It looks to me like they are widening the street so the houses have to go.

That whole area is now one big barrio.

@@MrRJDB1969 You're right, we should definitely go back to the Great Depression.

I believe the location is on San Pedro Street in Los Angeles not the city of San Pedro although many neighborhoods in greater Los Angeles had a similar look and feel. My family built a house in the early 30’s in North Hollywood/Valley Village. My Mom and her siblings grew up there although her Father was in the Navy so they lived all over. My Brothers and I grew up in that same house and it is still there looking quite different after many renovations but still the bones are almost 100 years old.

Yes they would go on to fight for the New World Order that would lead to their own destruction killing their own brothers and sisters in the process.

"Americans kept their civility. Unlike today..." - oh please. Gangs during Prohibition laying the foundation for organized crime that continues to this day.

look at the demographics... white.

Because the HART-CELLLER Immigration Act of 1965 drastically CHANGED the racial makeup of the U.S. by CHANGING the foreign country quotas and prioritizing MORE 3rd-worlders... the results you currently observe with runaway crime, Big Gov't programs that undermined the family, and increased dependency on gov't programs, and the promotion of lying history that promoted degenerate cultural rot... and that's BEFORE millions of illegal aliens were not only allowed to invade, but YOUR TAX MONIES are being spent to provide them with a much better life than they EVER HAD in their home countries... and ALL they have to do is cross the border and wait... while working on anchor babies that allow THOSE babies to bring in MORE family members.

Demographics is destiny.

"I want to go back to that simpler time!" I doubt if African Americans or other minorities would share that sentiment. Or anyone in need of modern medicine.

That's too bad . Those were simpler times and things were much safer back than.

thank you very much ;)

Most cars back then were black! It's strange how they change colors when they are re-mastered! Premature RUST??

To an extent. Especially if they were going to church or out on a date. The kids' parents took more pride in how their kids were dressed, and if they had the funds, made sure their kids looked decent. Schools also had dress codes (that we would now consider unbelievably strict) on what kids could wear to school.

There was a dress code. Their parents made them dress that way.

You people don't realize LA PD was as corrupt as the mob. They had gangs, too. If you weren't white, you had few rights. The west was always slower paced than New York and Chicago, but it was called the Wild West for a reason. Every Angelino should look up LA's history it's fascinating, both socially and architecturally.
