Taking a photograph from the Crysler building back when it had just opened in 1930.  :)

Ah, sol has posted the other photo that Cris mentioned. I guess it was five years between the two pictures

This is Margaret Bourne-White, a photojournalist with apparently no fear of heights.  I know I posted a pic of her popping out of one of those chrome eagles on the Chrysler Building in one of the off-topic threads a while back, but can’t find it.  Speaking of the Chrysler Building, there it is in the background.  This is 1935.

I had no idea he had posted anything like that earlier.  ???

I looked back and couldn’t find it. He was probably thinking of another thread, who knows?  Glad you posted it ‘cause it’s neat to compare the two pix.

That was taken by one gutsy/crazy photographer.  Unlike the soldiers, he's right out in the line of fire.   :o

Broad Street in 1890 after a snow storm (obviously).  Not an automobile in sight.

Did a hell of a good job at clearing the sidewalks, though!

100+ years ago or so, no one cared about logging Redwood trees in California at the time because there were no tree huggers at the time. Still happens, but it is done in privately held properties, and it is not as extensive as it was then.

Man, there's got to be a story behind that one, though I doubt we'll ever find out what it is.   ???
Still, I've got to wonder how a car got into a subway tunnel.   :o

That was in Chicago, and it was not in subway section of the transit train.  :(
