Vintage Photos - Anything Prior to WWII
« on: March 18, 2024, 10:32:36 AM »
There’s something about looking at an old photo—it’s like getting a glimpse through time at an era that was very different than our own.  My favorite time is the turn of the 20th century give or take a quarter century—when complex machines were just beginning to become every day things along side the more traditional way of doing things.  The pictures you post don’t have to be city-scapes: any pic from that time period is fine.

To start things off I came across this fascinating city scape of Manhattan in 1924 looking along East Broadway with the Municipal & Woolworth buildings dominating the skyline. It was taken from the Manhattan Bridge.

It really depends in which State you are in. Nowadays, if you are in Laughlin, Nevada, which is in the Colorado river bordering Arizona, it is smart to go to Bullhead City in Arizona since gasoline is $0.25 cents a gallon cheaper in Arizona than Nevada and gasoline is about one Dollar a gallon less in Las Vegas than where my brother lives in the Los Angeles area. When I worked at an ESSO station back in 1972, it was $0.23 a gallon and I had old codgers telling me/complaining, that back when they were young, gasoline in Texas was 5 cents or so a gallon. It's called inflation, guys. :(

A terrible tragedy of World War 2 was the destruction of many iconic buildings such as St Michaels cathedral after a German bombing run.  >:(

Newsboys at Greeley Square, NYC, May 1903.  Colorized, of course.

Love the Coke advert.

Me too.  Of all I've heard about old time Coke, I've never seen that they made claims like that.   :)
