The 1950s in Color - Life in America

Most of the people who appear in this video are long past. The young people, if still alive, are now very old - the children in their 70’s. What lives did they live? Were they happy? Were they successful? Did they achieve what they wanted out of life? I don’t know - but just watching these scenes from the past makes me contemplate my own life, and appreciate the time I have left. Thanks for watching - and best wishes for your future years! #50s #lifeinamerica #nostalgia 0:00 Introduction 0:17 Jones Street, San Francisco, 1954 0:29 Headed to the Beach, 1959 0:40 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, 1953 0:53 Palymyra, Wisconsin, 1951 1:05 Ringling Brothers Circus, 1951 1:29 Backyard Scene, 1956 1:53 A Night On the Town, 1952 2:05 Henderson Point, Mississippi, 1952 2:17 A Top-Down Day, 1953 2:41 Blue Earth, Minnesota, 1952 2:52 Wedding Day in 1954 3:17 Palm Springs, California, 1955 3:29 Peoples Drug Store, Washington, D.C., 1954 3:53 Grove Drugs, Trenton, New Jersey, 1950s 4:05 1954 Pontiac, (location unknown) 4:29 Chinatown, San Francisco, 1957 4:53 1950s Style, (location unknown) 5:05 Forest Park, Illinois, 1956 5:29 Halloween in 1958 6:05 Preparing for a Date in 1957 6:17 Welcome Home Korean War Veterans Army Pier, Seattle, WA, 1953 6:29 1957, (location unknown) 6:41 Times Square, New York City, 1958 6:53 The Budweiser Clydesdales in Beverly, Maine, 1955 7:05 Rapid City, South Dakota, 1950s 7:17 Nevada, 1956 7:29 Appleton, Wisconsin, 1962
