New Brunswick in 1938

lovely :) Start at 6:32 for the sardine part. Wild!

These are fascinating. In addition to seeing several on TCM, I watched the entire series on dvd. It’s true that they all exemplify to some extent the era’s Western ethnocentrism, some more than others. The Mississippi one is jaw droppingly appalling (for obvious reasons).

That made me hungry. Think I’ll open a can of Brunswick sardines.

I’ve watched a number of these Fitzpatrick films. He was popular with these movies for a few decades. Prior to world travelling this is how a number people got to see the rest of the world.

Always enjoy these Traveltalk shorts, gives one a glimpse into the near past. Unfortunately they also illustrate certain misconceptions & simplistic views of other cultures & their traditions viewed from a purely Western perspective even though James Fitzpatrick traveled widely.

This is great! Thank you

James Fitzpatrick Vids painted a remarkable picture of what life used to be like in our parents and grandparents generation before WWII and the GLOBALIST REGIME asserted itself in our culture. Glad to have them and to indulge in episodes of what was lost.

My folks took us kids on a summer road trip to the Maritimes around 1970, including NB. I have a photo my Mom took of my Dad, brother and me standing in the entrance to that bridge. At the time it had a sign over it saying it was "The Longest Covered Bridge in the World." 😊

I was back there a few years ago, not like that anymore or when I grew up there in the 70s and 80s, great video tho

Man have destroyed what was a great country

The old MGM logo is super uncanny to me idk why.

'Nous Sommes Encore Ici'

Is the background music an instrumental of the Maple Leaf Forever?

alright, I concede....this sort of thing earns a follow.
