The clothing attire of that era is certainly interesting..Its a wonder women could even swim in those "bathing suits"...

Great photos' El..New York Times Square looked pretty much the same other than the adding of more buildings... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Super sharp with unbelievable detail. But you look at the equipment they had to d**g around back then with large format cameras like 4x5 and 8x10 and I doubt you'll find too many people willing to deal with that now. You had be super dedicated like Ansel Adams lugging that gear around Yosemite. Ain't digital and Photoshop wonderful? I think of the late hours I spent in the old darkrooms trying to get something salvageable out of reporters negatives and I'm happy to be in the digital age. :lol: :lol:

Beautiful! I remember the street cars, which were in practically every city, large and small. But, busses won out. There are still a few left, as well as trackless trolleys. Glad I lived in the good old days.

I being a history buff espicaily as it relates to this 'once' great nation.Some time in the late 30's GM launched a determined effort to sell bus's in LA Cal. and all points east in which they enjoyed great success, there fore bringing the demise of trolley cars. It's A- la Deja Vu. as we go back to the trolly's in the modern day form of 'light rail' My how times change, And to you Elwood have a happy turkey day. When I was young we sold turkeys of which we did not do so well until we started to sell the ones with wheels :lol: :lol: :lol:
