i was born in the 40's. in my neighbourhood you had to be tough, but it was still a great time to grow up. i spent my younger years listening to the big console radio. i'm in my 70's now and i can put a hockey game on the radio lay down and enjoy it with my 55- flat screen turned off.

I love that you acknowledge that the past had its dark aspects while still celebrating the good parts. Well done. After all, it was a terrible time to be a minority (other ethnicities, gay, trans, etc) or a woman. Yet despite that ugliness, the past had such a different charm.

This America we see here was objectively a better time, mostly because of the people that inhabited it. America becoming the melting pot it is today will be the death of us. If we are lucky we'll split off into different nations and some will be better then others.

2: 10 Ah yes, the good old days were so wholesome. Grandma could bake an apple pie and then, while it cooled, go down to the drive-in and be served an ice-cold RC Cola by leggy young Texas boys wearing boots, shorts and a smile!

There-s no charm nowadays. People are so tied up in their own little world and most have no respect for themselves let alone others. People don-t realize how much they are missing in life by being so self absorbed.

1940's America, brought to you by Coca-Cola apparently judging from the crazy amount of times the signage can be seen all over the country (except the one grocery store that advertising Pepsi and 7UP instead. LOL

Beyond the glittering facade of fame, one uncovers the concealed agony of innumerable celebrities, wrestling with profound isolation, yearning for refuge amidst the radiant mirage.

It was more pleasant if u were a white, non immigrant male. It-s a pleasant romantic view of a simpler time though for sure. I do enjoy the images and the idea.

No flash mobs, baggy pants, rap music, gang beatdows and a certain group that causes all these problems knew their role in society and behaved. Such a great time!

I see many in the comments are wearing rose-tinted glasses. Rose-tinted glasses and nostalgia always help to make the past seem better than the present.

The 1940s are the days when people use to have respect for 1 another and everyone treated everyone with respect. People dressed with respect.

This was beyond fabulous. Except for the mislabeled picture at about 7: 53 that says, ''Seattle, Washington D. C. ''.

These photos were from immediately before, or during, WWII, but you don't get the feeling of the world's turbulence.
