  1. Yeah the good ole days , when working citizens could hold their heads up , and a certain bellyaching people couldn't just walk around with a chip on their shoulders and curse police officers out without fear of being arrested . I vote we go back to the sixties .
  2. sucked to be a minority in those days...lol
  3. I miss it so much. I wish I could relive those days and memories.
  4. Still better than my city 2015 :D
  5. Simpler times.....people are not attached to all sorts of electronic devices and engaged elsewhere ! They are actually looking where they are going and make eye-contact with one another on the streets as they walk........so unlike the world of today in the 21-st century !
  6. oh wow at 2:45 the old 980 5th avenue
  7. Do yourself a favor and set this to a Bob Dylan song
  8. Nice! The sweet memories this video brings back of the NYC that I miss.
