Everytime I see these "back in time videos, " it makes me want to go through my screen and talk with all of these wonderful people. I would LOVE to go back in time. God bless them all.

105 years ago ...Even the little child that was walking with her mother is gone now. Yet we can see them and see how they were, how they dressed. Everyone had hats. They all occupied this Earth just like we are doing now. They had dreams. Just like we do

The little girl in the white ensemble, walking with her mother...so precious!

How handsome, well dressed, and well groomed they all are. So distinctive & dignified! We so much miss out on those things today.

It’s eery knowing all these souls of the past are laying in their graves, I for one am humbled 😢

[delilahsorensen]

Oh how I love your work. As a retired history teacher I’d absolutely love to have used your reels in my classroom. Thank you ❤!

The music alone taking you back in time 😔.

There is an elegant dance of modesty, grace and respect for each other you can feel it.
I weep for our loss

My father in law was born in Feb, 1920. He visited my grandson on his birthday last may, 2024. He had his other daughter drive him to my house. He looked great! Full head of white hair, used a walker but was mentally all there. He loved all the attention he got from everyone. He played about 12 hours of tennis every week from the age of 10 to 92! He was a sailor in WWII.

Uwielbiam takie filmy, uchwycone w kadrze postaci zwykłych ludzi, ktorych już nie ma, a którzy żyli, marzyli, kochali, mieli swoje plany, aspiracje.... Przeminęli jak my wszyscy przeminiemy.Tak długo żyjemy w pamięci innych, jak dlugo nas wspominają.

Not only are the videos amazing but the music is perfect! 💯

Crazy to think how rare it was to see a film camera out on the street in 1920! You can tell by how many people are staring at it… must’ve been a real novelty back then.

The people that came before us, our teachers of tomorrow to see this Thank you ❤

I live in Fredericton New Brunswick. Only been to Saint John a couple of times. Some fine restoration there. And some 'Fine Dapper Attire'! The tailors at the time must have been doing a booming business.

Wow this is so cool! Thank you for sharing! I walk up this pretty much every day. The top corner building has been tore down for 4-5 years and only this year they are building a new condo/apartment building.
