Some neighborhoods have changed alot and some really haven't. What are some spots that maybe make you feel like your in a time warp?

Few off the top of my head...

French Quarter in New Orleans- Maybe an obvious one but unlike I think anywhere else in America, it really feels right from the 19th century.

The Hill in St Louis- It makes me feel like your right back in the 40's. Getting some Provel cheese and playing baseball with Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola

Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles- Perhaps not a neighborhood technically but walking up to Dodger Stadium never do I feel more like I'm in the 1960's then right there.

West Seventh in Saint Paul gives me a '90s vibe.

I'll also add places like you'll find in Western PA and West Virginia, those old Appalcian cities ex. Donora, PA, Wheeling, WV etc. really feel like they haven't changed in a century.

There are a lot of towns in the West that do this.

Bisbee, Tombstone or Tubac, AZ. Santa Rosa, NM

Countless other ex-mining, old west towns that haven't developed a lot.

Macon GA. Brings be back to the 1930s. Fun fact, with all the filming centered in Atlanta, Macon often serves as a backdrop for early 1900s NYC!!!

Pittsburgh neighborhoods also bring me back to a similar time.

Parts of Sioux Falls and Albuquerque bring me back to the 1960's with the neon signs and billboards along some of the main stretches. Same could be said for lots of small-mid sized Iowa cities (Waterloo/Cedar Rapids, etc.)

Downtown Tacoma, WA has '70s/'80s vibes --- like a throwback to the urban-renewal days, when inner cities were abandoned, industrial, and uncool. (1)

Downtown Olympia, WA, the home of the "riot grrrl" scene, has never really lost that early '90s vibe: punk bars and hippie/New Agey businesses alongside boring brutalist offices and banks. (1, 2)
