Photography Finds Location Of 1960s Postcards To See How They Look Today

- [Part 2] • If 7 Famous Historical...
Not long ago an old matchbook laying on photographer Pablo Iglesias Maurer's desk caught his eye. Or rather, it was the postcard-like picture on it, of a resort complex built in the 1960s. It got Pablo wondering how the place looked now, and the answer has led him to make an amazing photo series called Abandoned States.
The picture came with the title How to Run A Successful Golf Course, but when Maurer got to the place, it was clear the owner of Penn Hills Resort didn't follow that advice. He pointed the camera at the decaying building at roughly the same spot and did a '5-decades-after' shot of the place.
Ever since then, Pablo was hooked. He ordered more 60s postcards from eBay and started going around the country capturing these once beautiful buildings that now stand abandoned only as faint memories of what once was.
"The postcards, have their own haze-the places were never as nice as they look. I often struggle to get the two images to line up, as well. But time blurs the difference, and brings everything into focus."

true but this happy music throws me off lmao
Yeah
It doesn’t have to be. Think of all the fun memories they made there that they took into the future :)
agree, if anything it shows how wasteful the human race is
Being 63 and remember so many cool places that existed when I was a kid, this makes me feel terribly 😢.
I wish more people cared more about old historic places and the history behind them. I've always been fascinated with how places looked back in the day compared to now, even when I used to Urban explore abandoned Hospitals, Asylums & Prisons it just intrigues me to see how things looked from our past and to really think about how lively this Vacant building used to be full of people. All that energy and emotion stays in those walls and sometimes you can feel it like walking back in time! But nowadays everything ends up getting tore down to put up some condos or a highway completely forgetting the past and our history!
This is called the law of entropy. Almighty Allah has created everything in this world in a form that will lead to destruction.

Let them understand that this world is a temporary place. Let them know that real life is life after death.

Really sad to see these places abandoned, vandalized, and forgotten about so many memories have been lost.
Last year, the house I grew up in as a child was demolished, due to the town turning the property into a park and ride. I drove by recently during a road trip to visit family, and it was so weird not seeing the house there anymore. It was twenty six years ago since we moved out of that house and I still miss it sometimes. A Lot of good memories there. It was old and needed alot of work, but it still served its purpose.

Why these places were abandoned?
This is honestly pretty sad to watch. All the memories these people made at these places, all gone. Just imagine ur grandma and grandpa coming back to visit, thinking it's all still there. Just to find out that its all brown, dirty and abandoned.
I can't agree more with this comment. Like the swimming pool at the start. It is pretty sad.
ikr :(((
Whats wrong with brown. You gotta problem?
I'm just kidding Jesus Christ
I just wanted to make it a joke before someone actually calls you out for calling brown nasty

What’s even more disconcerting is that I remember the late 60s early 70s. I remember these pictures in a 1000 ways. Cars were as big as tanks. Keg parties, blotter, tango,Boones Farm, cheerfully willing girls, Diaphragms, Kool cigarettes, fighting wasn’t illegal, you could check in hockey, a smoking room in high school, work boots, blue jeans, buck knives, and so on. Most of the people in my pictures are dead by 65. Life really does fly by so enjoy it!! Tick Tock
"You will never realize how precious a moment is until it becomes a memory"
I agree.
Damn true
Nah

Yeah but in some cases I have moments like "This is awesome! I'll definetly make a good memory out of this!
I love how the 1960’s camera makes the pictures look warm and cozy
A lot of those pictures were probably air-brushed
Well, in the 60's these building were in use. People were swimming.out to dinner. Doing things. Today, covid aside, people don't really go out as families anymore. They rarely have meals together, much less go to a recreational swimming or bowling venue. Everyone is busybusybusy. Very sad.

This is a video that I watch almost every year, it’s not a tradition, I just like watching it, it’s crazy to me on how these beautiful places are graffitied and torn down, it’s pretty sad, but all good things come to an end right? Well let’s just say, these places were probably some people’s dreams before

What I learned from this video is that back in the 60’s, people loved to swim
😹😂🤣 agreed
@@jdkayak7868 not in Corona times
Who doesn't?
Yeah, back then we stayed outdoors as much as possible. Dependent on your social-economic conditions at the time, going fishing, boating or swimming was the deal. Even those in the city, if possible, would leave for a day trip just to get out of the city. I worked at a camp in North Jersey that was setup to have inner city and special needs kids come to the camp for a week at a time. It gave them an exposure to the outdoors without concrete and gave their folks a break for a week also. The kids got to do some canoeing, nature crafts, arts n' crafts, swimming (or at least taught to float/basic swimming) and other things they normally never experienced in the city.

Nah, just nihilistic ideation with an existential crisis.
@@chevyrupleix I can't believe all the people who even see the video in a negative way. Like... Yeah of course places get abandoned. The photographer literally knitpicked places that weren't demolished and replaced with something unrecognizable and this is the result. So what? They're not going to travel just to see a pool. There are plenty of sad or worn down places back then that look beautiful now.
Agree its pretty depressing. For me it's how things that were loved are now derelict wastelands. We need to learn to maintain things rather than to let things rot and die
Yes! My heart is breaking by seeing things

This footage is quite depressing. It shows how the places in 1960s that were full of life are now abandoned or not properly taken care of.
The good ol' days, I hope one day we get them back, only if we can get more conservatives back, not one liberal have I found take care of anything and I live in NY so there's plenty of liberals to look at, they worry more about replacing new with the new, they want to not work but still get paid, they want more money for less work, they want everything handed to them on a silver platter, everything here can be fixed with some love and hard work fixing it up, but sadly we're not around the generation that built the sears houses or nothing like many in my neighborhood still standing today and the government has too much say in our freedoms and rights on what we can do, having the permits, the safety, and just jumping through hoops to get everything going.
Much like the people that utilized these places...

If that happened to mine I would try to fix it if I could.
I WOULD CRY, its the only home ive ever known

Yea that’s happening to my past house actually
That's why I'll put an electric fence over it when I turn 18
That was fabulous. I love seeing how everything evolved over the past 50 years. Only one place looked better. Also, I think Dan Bell filmed some of those abandoned places. Great video thanks.

And councils only "care" about the environment when there is profit to be made through their expensive approvals process.
Makes you wonder what our own places will look like in 50 years or so. When there's no one around to speak of the memories made nor anyone who would care to listen.
Pretty depressing.

It's beautiful in a way. Nature taking over, graffitied walls decorating it like a natural phenomenon, not vandalism. Strangely peaceful, when you learn to accept it.

Time truly changes leaving only fond memories of places that once were beautiful.
In the days of happiness gone. Now the days of the forgotten are here.

For the memories
@Infinus Ultima The Earth will be an uninhabitable mess long before then. Humans will have likely already died off or moved somewhere else before then.

The places that these photos are taken from have long died, but the most chilling thing is that the people there are still alive. They can remember how life was back in the 60's and now have the capability to watch their memories of youth slowly fade into abandonment and decay.
Its different from 1960's from years ago but today these postcards will never get old.

It's crazy how many of these became dilapidated. I live in England and in the 60's everything basically looked the same as it does now. In fact, you can find pictures of the surrounding towns I live by in the 40's and everything looks the same and everything is protected by heritage foundations by law because of the history.

Imagine how sad some people would be if they went back to these places now.
I image most of them are passed away by now.
The gold course of the resort was open until 2017.
@@knerduno5942 The grossingers was fully demolished so its just rubble
@@dlibby4979 wouldn't been most in their 60-70? If you were in your 20-30s when this photos toke places. Especially with the health care this days. I think the majority are still alive
@@blandienlumeks934 yea my grandmas from 1910 or 1920 so imagine people from that era are still alive I know that time is approaching when all the 1950 and bellow are going to be gone in the near future
These transitions are 10/10 👌
Nothing lasts forever everything has a beginning and an end. Cherish and enjoy every moment while you can.
Easier said than done. Try living as someone who lives in poverty, homeless, living with abusive family, or someone who’s life was destroyed by the pandemic restrictions while the politicians who enforced them are benefiting from it while at the same time not following the rules themselves.
Think about how when these where taken they used to be “the hangout/ the spot” like the lakes/ bowling alley, pool. Now there just wasted away, forgotten in time. In the not so distant future people my age (mid 20’s ) the “spots” I hung out in might look like this
Except your spots are on CNN in fear of covid and lockdown on a computer. People actually lived life back then.
@@JimC1984 That's not true for most of us. We live life, too.
Aaron, the cycle is ongoing. Yes indeed, places that WE ALL have been and enjoyed will all be like this someday soon enough. I'm soon 50 years old, and already many places from my childhood are gone, abandoned, boarded up. Campgrounds, bowling alleys, YMCA, hometown hockey stadium, etc. Even my high school is torn down and a modern one built in it's place. I can't even walk those halls ever again. It's already a mere memory, and I'm still alive. Time is a ticking clock, that you begin to notice more as you get older. It's eerie. Also time seems to speed up. Years only feel 'half as long' as they used to in my 20's and 30's. Since you're young, you'll not know this until you are older. But I'm not making this up. You'll see, someday. Thus - cherish your time NOW, ALWAYS.
Malls will be our next death of hang outs. The one I have many memories with is hanging on life support currently. The bowling alley from my childhood is already abandoned. And I’m only 26. Imagine what another 20 years will bring.
@@WooferCooker I know. I haven’t been to the mall in a while but it used to be a hang out. And the only bowling ally I have seen open is at the beach I frequently visit.
Why did everything seem so much happier from the 50s up to late 90s in the world...
It seems that way but uh....It really wasn't for a lot of reasons
Because internet was invented in the late 90s and since then war is on CZcams Instagram Twitter etc etc
Because back then people had morals and values and the government wasn’t so overbearing in your life. People can complain and say it wasn’t better but now we have a whiny ass country all our major opportunities are with corporations who don’t wanna pay us and people are more divided than ever. It was way better. Don’t let anyone fool you. We just have more technology now. Doesn’t make it better.
Because Social Media, etc..
It’s probably also the whole ‘post-war paradise’ where everyone began regaining their lives. I also think it has to do with the dreamy-like filter the cameras had at the time.
it’s so cool that they’re in the same place for the photos
this was so cool to watch
I don’t understand why we can’t recycle places like these
because there is nothing surrounding it, life has moved on.
Because the building materials used in these structures, like lead and asbestos, make it such that remediation is too costly so people (being greedy short-sighted creatures) simply move on and leave the problem for future generations to cope with.
politics, money...
At least they are kinda like history if people took care of them
Also half of these are from Chernobyl, which is uninhabitable due to radiation
Saddest part is that some people on pictures are probably dead now
actually most are. Most of the people in them were middle aged or seniors who probably didn't make it past the turn of the millenium
Yeah
Legends never say Die
Voodoo Master NO the saddest part are the places which will never be used again
Most*
Amazing thanks
