early 1900s with automobiles and horses occupying the same streets! This was fun to watch and see the vehicles on the street and also the clothing being worn at that time.

But I really wish they wouldnt colorize and insert fake audio tracks like this. Its simply not accurate- and can change the actual experience of watching the original film.
Not a fan of colorizing- But thats just me.

I love NYC. I am surprised how clean everything looks. We haven't been there since the pandemic started...hoping to get back there soon. Thanks for sharing this.
