Amazing. How did they EVER manage a civilization like that, without Somalis or Haitians or Sudanese to show them the way?

Pennsylvania 1950s in color, Doylestown, Levittown [60fps, Remastered] Sound Design​

Jan 2, 2026
I colorized, fully restored, and crafted the sound design for this rare archival footage of Pennsylvania in the 1950s, filmed in Doylestown and Levittown, showcasing local landmarks, businesses, and everyday life.During this period, Levittown became a symbol of post-World War II suburban expansion, representing the rise of affordable housing and the American middle class. Doylestown, with its historic downtown and cultural institutions, reflects the continuity between early American heritage and mid-century modernization. Together, these scenes capture a pivotal moment in U.S. social and urban history.

The FLORIDA Nobody Talks About Anymore​

Feb 21, 2026 #Florida #FloridaHistory #OrangeGroves
Discover the forgotten Florida when agriculture employed more people than tourism, orange groves covered Central Florida, and Cracker cowboys ranged cattle across the Kissimmee Prairie before anyone dreamed of theme parks.
Before Disney World and retirement communities, Florida belonged to the people who worked it. Orange groves stretching from Orlando to Lake Wales employing thousands in seasonal harvest work, Greek sponge divers in Tarpon Springs world-famous for their dangerous profession, stone crab fishermen in the Keys working treacherous waters, Cracker cowboys using whips instead of lassos driving cattle through palmetto scrub, fishing villages like Cedar Key and Cortez where families lived for generations, the vast intact Everglades ecosystem with sawgrass marshes and tree islands, Seminole and Miccosukee tribes in chickees maintaining traditional ways after retreating from Indian Wars, no air conditioning making summers genuinely unbearable with people sleeping on screened porches, legendary mosquito plagues requiring bug spray and acceptance, and Deep South Jim Crow segregation with separate facilities and migrant worker camps. This was Florida when it was genuinely Southern and rural.
