    Ive lived here now for about six years. Moved here to the Elmwood area from the mountains close to Asheville NC. Sitting here watching and thinking to myself, Yea, so THATS what it use to look like. Happy to be here now though. Holyoke is my home now.

    WOW ! Wow Wow ! Did you see it ? That monster building @ 2:01 ... I am amazed at what these guys have built, having been a contractor myself for a while and I look at them from that perspective. Look at the openings on the 2nd level. The open to the world like giant shades ! And it looks like when the shade is up completely, a balcony is extended out maybe 8' ? Damn, I sure would like to have been able to experience these structures in full glory, or have a better remembrance for them. No kids, we didn't build them, the gods did the last time they stopped by and threw a little party for 1000 yrs.

    I've lived in MASS most of my life and this is every small city , pick one. They were all this grand at one time in New England. the nicer the city was the bigger shit hole they turned it into today. Someone blocked all the water flowing through these little towns and cities. Filled in the moats and canals , that was the start of the death nail for the cities . I remember the old folk talking about stuff like that and what a shame it was. They said there goes the clean, fresh water. And that is exactly what happened. Some even told of glowing emerald gobble stone streets as dusk set in. They told of how the cities were powered differently. From my experience most of the old males knew there was a grid that got cut off or out , where I grew up. They knew it only meant bad news for the citizens. New England makes me feel so sad. Like a part of my family died, that's how I honestly feel about my growing up in MASS. My heart so heavily weighs. I do mourn, I do.

    Trucking of materials would have been a nightmare performed by an Amy sized fleet since modern Semi Trucks allowed to weigh 80k Gross vehicle weight and up from there based on axels and trailer types but 80K the absolute norm. They didn’t have the vehicles or HP to haul in all the granite cut stone etc.

    Very very well done!!!!!! Btw, it's mass uh CHEW setts... You do a very good job brother.. honestly I could see these pictures all day, no matter if the city is big or small...but there is something to be said about these cities with anything less than a 100 or 75,000 when they are so built out like this! Holyoke is a sad sad sad places now a days, very drug ridden. Same with a lot of the smaller ones, so when you show how built out and beautiful they looked it's just all that more damning against the main stream narrative.

    @1:33, What is that building? So many old world cities have a similar building; sort of 3-sided with a rounded facade. (Like the one at Times Square, NY). We have one here in Santa Cruz, California. I'm really curious about the shape of the building (wouldn't a rectangular building be easier to construct), and also the structure at the top of the building. (I hope that was clear enough)

    the same building shows up at 7:30...they're calling it the General Offices of the American Writing Paper CO. Yes much easier to build and finish squares and rectangles. In my estimation, you wouldn't build like this unless you understand and value the placement of infrastructure so much that you are willing to build around a desired plan...and you'd have to be confident in your ability to build to conform to the flow of the streets. You'll see it a lot in Europe, where the street bends and the buildings bend with it.

    actually from my understanding, all old photos had to be doctored or edited in some way. yes, they had to be. and they were almost always doctored beyond what had to be done. portraits were always edited to make the person more attractive. and buildings etc often had penciled in aspects. often the people seem to be drawn in. i can se a lot of drawing going on in these old photos. yes even the black and white civil war era photos were highly edited. even ones of the presidents. they would even combine one dudes body with anothers head. they are often completely deceptive, complete fabrications. u cant trust old photos at all. u can trust modern photos much more and often it is easy to tell if they have been photoshopped. the old world photoshoping is often completely undetectable , theres no warping etc. but people dont know that photoshoping has been a part of photography from the begining. it seems even photoshopping was superior in the old world.
