Thank you gorush, these are great. I liked seeing the one of the SanFrancisco fire after the earthquake.
I once found a forum with a huge thread of old pictures and spent a couple of hours looking at them! The main thing I noticed, was that the people were all dressed neatly AND you didn’t see any fat people!! Sorry if that offends anyone, but it’s true.
Very true as to the weight of people then. No chips and re-fried beans back then. LOL!
Or excess beer and wine either, lol.

The site I mentioned was on a forum with a huge continuing thread of old photos all through the years. A hodge-podge, but once you got started you just couldn’t stop looking, lol.
