Wow that is incredible. I love the cars. Actually they were more like boats back then. I always wonder that if liberals don’t get their way and mankind and civilization survives, what are people in the future going to think of today? Digital video doesn’t degrade so in theory people 1000, 10,000 even 100,000 years from now can look back on videos made today and it will look like they were taken a second ago. Like say for example in the year 15,239, the liberal disciples of the worldwide religion Obamanism can look back at the year 2013 and see their Messiah in action. You ever see this film? Supposedly this is the oldest surviving movie ever made from 1888.

I love old footage/snapshots/postcards of American towns and cities. From the 1800s all the way up to the 1960s. After that, things start looking too ugly.

I saw it 15 years ago. It was scary then. Had a cop stop me and tell me I shouldn’t be in that neighborhood. I was visiting a friend who lived with her elderly grandmother at the time. Once granny passed on said friend got the heck out to Byram.

I was thinking that if you lived in Mississippi at the time, and went to Jackson, it must have felt like going to New York City, compared to the rest of the State.

Well, keep in mind there was a large part of the population that could not go to those restaurants, shops, or go enjoy that lake.
