What a cool video! I was born in 1953 in North Platte and grew up in nearby Maxwell. My grandfather, Andy Larsen was mayor of North Platte in the early 60s. Saw so many places I recognize from my time in NP as a youth and even as a high school student. King Fong Cafe was a favorite spot of my grandparents. Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed it!

Born eight years later in '53 and I remember screen doors, but that's the first one I have ever seen on a bank building... several brands that are gone like "Monkey Ward's" and Western Auto are visible...my late parents were 19 and 16 years of age. My folks used to tell me that '47-'49 were their favorite years...

​@Bill32H-it3sv Back when the *majority* of people were literally just normal human beings. A lot of that had to do with social shame and the fact most people were still God fearing Christians that regularly went to church, practiced traditional values and passed down their beliefs and ideals. But, among a few other factors, Communism reared its ugly head through the wall and sunk its hooks in American culture and life, resulting in the degenerate-backwards-mess we currently find ourselves in.

This and all your restored videos of America in the 1930's - 1950's are so beautiful and uplifting!! Thank you for bringing back the world of my parents! I always look forward to seeing them.

I watched a documentary about combines that had two old timers reflecting on what small town life was like before modern farming equipment. These small towns were very busy in the summer time with people hitchhiking in from all over hoping to find a summer job. Cars didn't park on the right side of the road but rather in the middle of the road (kind of like in the opening scenes of this video) and you were expected to leave your keys in your vehicle in case someone needed to move it.

Encore une fois, un superbe travail de mémoire ! Excellent !! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Merci beaucoup ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very well done. My only comment is aside from all your excellent background noises, car horns, engines etc some dubbed in chatter of people talking here and there, might help to lift the realism. It doesn't have to be loud, just nice and low with the people walking on the sidewalks etc.

Well, I'll be from Wichita KS growed up in the 70s with lots of leftovers from the '60s and '50s. This is close enough.

@@bradbel Nope. Americans were well-fed pretty much all the time. Some goods may have been in a somewhat shorter supply, but food was not. Remember - the US did not have to import any food to feed its people. And the food they needed for their soldiers fighting abroad? Well, those weren´t eating at home. Btw - there have been many food studies even back then, and the average US citizen tucked in well over what we now consider sufficient for keeping weight. But do we see obese people in those old films? Rarely, very rarely! That went on for quite some time, just look at footage of the Apollo missions in 69, when the US was doing very well - pretty much everyone in the crowd is fairly slim and trim.

Was the first part of the film North Platte also? What about the other locations? I wish the creator would fill us in on this stuff. I lived in Nebraska for awhile so this interesting to me. Glad to see a film from the Midwest instead of just the coasts. Watching these I always feel as if I was born in the wrong era.

A good time. Boys back from the war though mourning those who didn't. A clean, active downtown section. I am from upstate NY and my town once looked like yours. Not any longer. I hope yours made it ok.

Midwestern downtowns were bustling at one time I've been told, pretty cool to see it.

Stunning. My folks were teenagers then. I heard a lot about how the war affected them and the country. Gas stamps, food coupons, rationing of all sorts. The kids these days? Sorry, but making the world a better place doesn't seemed to have worked out as well as expected.

Great cameraman.

Very worth seeing. Should be a wake-up call for the entire American society. It is difficult to find in the video; -overweight -poorly dressed -decaying buildings

Thanks for another nice video. I suggest reducing the volume level of the sound of people walking. Since the listener is aware the audio is added, loud sounds of shoes touching ground draw the listener's attention to the fact that the walking sounds are not real. More muted walking sounds, even if below what someone would normally hear on a street, are in my opinion better for a video like this.

Hello Nass. How are you?

It’s sad to see that nowadays is never going to look better than those days even if we’ve had better social advancements in some areas

Can‘t believe how developed in 1940s in west NE. Although the population was under 15K in NP, looked a lot of people there.
