Detroit, Michigan 1930s in color [60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added

[catbyte]

"I colorized, restored and applied face restoration and created sound design for this Rare video of Detroit, Michigan 1930s, you can see what's going on in the city during the day and features Detroit's beautiful historic fronts."

from the comment section:

"The first three minutes of this film takes place along Detroit‘s old Skid Row on Michigan Avenue just west of downtown. The movie Federal Manhunt is playing at the theater; it was released in 1938. Koblin’s Cut Rate is visible at 500 Michigan Ave. This whole area was subsequently cleared in an urban renewal scheme that was light on renewal."

2. When men wore hats!

I counted about 4 men without a hat, and exactly zero persons of color.

3. Fords in any color you'd like...

… as long as you like black.

And no darker skinned folks in those parts of town, apparently.
