4. I love watching these, find it fascinating to see people going about their lives back then

And I always think of my grandmother who was present back then, she was young, but she must have seen scenes just like this - and then she grew up, learned how to drive modern cars and flew on planes all over the world. She saw so many amazing changes and kept up with them, but remembered what it used to be like.

And when I see these people in the streets, I always wonder how them manage to keep from getting run over! And everyone wears hats, men women and kids - how much times have changed - and yet they were leading ordinary lives just like those of us today.

7. This is great and story about the family in the car was fascinating.

I'm not surprised that no tenements were filmed.

8. Boaters were certainly popular in 1911!

What was propelling the streetcars? I don't see electric wires, nor smoke from an engine.

A fascinating look back.
