My Cousin was James K. Donahue, a well-known name in Baltimore. He was recognized for helping revitalize the Inner Harbour by bringing Car Shows and Boat Shows to the Convention Center. Mayor Schaffer awarded him the key to the City.
It’s neat pulling up the addresses from the videos to see how it looks today.. and picture the people in the video there today and wonder where their lives had taken them
The TV story is really a blast from the past. Can anyone imagine fixing a TV now. ? I don't even bother with buying warrantees I just buy a new one. That goes for all electronics. By time it's broke there is a newer better one. Three years in a row I got a new LG because Everytime I checked them out they were better. No more remotes just tell it what to do. It's basically a giant computer monitor now. I however do remember when picture tubes were replaced.
Repairing the internals of the newer sets is quite easy. The problem is actually getting the set apart as the shell has tabs that click together, rather than being held together by screws. I've done repairs on the old CRTs in arcade games, before. But getting to those is quite easy. The newer LCD sets are a PitA because of how the outer shell works. Once inside, though.... the components are basically the same.
I'm not even from Baltimore I'm a New Englander but I've been here for so damn long it's like all my life has been here so this history has become part of mine
@davidruffin9828+Oh yeah? I'm from Baltimore and I went to school up in New England, you people back then didn't know how to make people feel welcome!!!
Omg Jack Luskins the cheapest guy in town bro this channel is too much for me because I remember most of this I grew up in the 70s but become of age in the early 80s and Im a sucker for nostalgia however with so much family and homeys gone it can be painful real painful.. Thanx again for this channel
Good episode. I worked for Luskins it was a wild place. Towson store, I saw Jack a lot and found him to a good guy very devoted father. But yes He was the cheapest guy in town
Just talked to my wife an hour ago about how gentrification in other cities displaced primarily black people but in Baltimore it displaced primarily white people. The waterfront neighborhoods that they moved into we traditionally poor white neighborhoods. Then I listened to this opening story and they were interviewing those folks I had just referenced.
8:45 they must’ve been doing something else that was illegal that was bringing in good money and no one knew so they played all happy about being downgraded in his games
Got damn, this new coverage seems like 2023 ! with everything they are talking about. It’s amazing how must of the Black Women WORE THEIR NATURAL HAIR 🤔🤔🤔🤔
