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.

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).

    ​@@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.

    Looking at the cars (which is something I do), I'd say this film is from around 1936. I saw a 1934 Pierce Arrow and a 1935 Chevrolet and a few 1934-35 Fords. A 1934 Lasalle also made an appearance. No cars on this video are 1936 or beyond in their production- though it could be that no 'new' cars drove down the streets.

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.

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.

    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.

Even in LA no short pants and girls all wore dresses!! Most of the kids walked home, not like today everybody picks up in the kids in Mercedes and Tesla SUVs!

    My Dad grew up in San Pedro during the depression here in San Pedro. Actually around this time they were starting to come out of it a little bit. However, the war helped greatly. I have been here, it is still a beautiful little place. But, as beautiful as it was, it was very tough for my Dad. He went into the war though (WWII) and then to Cal Poly on the GI Bill. He was recruted right off the campus (he was majoring in Engineering) and was recruited right off the campus by NASA and became an Aerospace Engineer for them for his life's career.

    Most of these are footage shot by the movie studios for inclusion into movies. Commonly called "B rolls", they would send out 2 or 3 guys to get various scenes for inclusion in a movie. Nass has posted a ton of those, and the majority are shot in the TMZ within 30 miles of Hollywood.
