Why do Englishmen on Ireland larp as irish?

...

we lost the trams and gained niggers

We used to have a genuinely nice looking country

Shit->shit

p-probably this

Then

Now

Then on the left: Hiroshima after being nuked
Now on the right:Hiroshima now

seems like everything in DC is constantly under rennovation. The cranes in the background ruin this photo.

dont remind me :ยด(

It's almost the same

Not that much actually.

Less street cars

Why did Americans get rid of their nice buildings? Europe has the war as an excuse but you did it for no reason

Modern USA a shit.

1914

Jews

In that pic you can notice that people here used to drive on the left of the road.

is it true GM pressured the US government into banning public transportation just to sell more cars

Cheaper to build something new than to repair

Repair what? You had nothing to damage it

Only the buildings on the left are new - funny enough that building was designed by the same guy who did the pyramids in The louvre and a bunch of other high profile shit.

Basically I'm sure those buildings were derelict by the 80s, the city was poor as fuck after the depression and had to pay back 50 years of debt. None of those buildings had historic value and there are streets of them everywhere.

That place is now under restoration.

Forgot pic.

Those buildings were built in the 1800s for cheap then they were badly maintained by cheap fucks who inherited them.

Not to mention modern requirements on electrical, wiring, plumbing, etc.

That too

Brazilians also destroyed a lot of nice old buildings to build ygly commieblocks

My city looks the same. Not much changed.

You have to remember that blacks were banned from big cities in brazil until the 60s

Why is the cathedral mostly unscathed?

Wow!

Delta, BC. This is in the 50s or 60s before mass house building began

>1977
>picture looks like it was taken in 1897

Hometown 1880's

And six years ago

Mexico City used to be a big lake, some streets were channels

...

...

Completely burnt in 1865.

Actually, I just noticed the Confederate flag, so this picture has to be inbetween 2009 and 2015, not 2016

industry and wealth left; many more niggers

>hey guys I got a great idea! why don't we build an entirely red building? that wouldn't totally stand out for the entirely wrong reasons at all!

...

...

Here's the >American moment of the thread. A park doesn't need that much stone and street in it. If they'd opted for just grass and forest, they could have made it much more usable and better looking

What happened to the US. It used to have this sort of Neo-British feel to it. Now it's just sorta shiet lookin

Pic is how it looks now

Video is how americans saw it in the 1940's

so much has changed I guess

Buenos Aires 100 years ago looks like Buenos Aires today

>256
this pleases me

1920

RIP

Louis Theroux's special about Milwaukee that aired last night made me sad. The city seemed nice when I visited it for eighth grade field trip.

modernism

It hasn't caught on fire again so I guess its going alright

we have the railroad and rt 66 now

That wasn't the file I clicked on

...

Av.Paulista in 1843

Today

The same view of King Street 1915, 1940, and 2015

...

We literally have to go back

better version

Not really. The panarama effect, quality and zoom out make it hard to see actual differences

Here's what it was like 75 years ago

It looks like there is only one building still there.

...

...

the streets were so nice and brand new

...

Not 100 years but during WWII

Context?

Orangeman's parade I think
This spot is still the same

1930s Santa Claus parade here

VE Day

WW1 Funeral

General store c. 1890s?

Restaurant 1920s

My mum lives above this building

...

Most likely because it was made from stone instead of wood and paper.
