I’ve seen this slideshow before. It’s amazing.
Thanks for posting.
Obviously people were comparatively far poorer then than we are now. That said, I noticed no graffiti, no litter, and it was striking how much more character everything had. There simply wasn’t the dulling sameness and uniformity of everything that exists now. For example you would see a gas station that looks like a wigwam. Another thing I noticed....how many fat people did you see? Practically none. They looked much healthier back then.

Liked that.
See the “Go Green, Gasoline” sign?
Is that a clip of the sun setting on the American Empire?
Very nice, thank you.
I have this image of a 1930s photo dad shared often, him at about 6 his sister 8 and my uncle 10, they are in rags standing on a car runner and the car looks pretty used. Another photo - 3 years later, new car, and new clothes as the depression ended.
For being difficult times a lot of those folks in these looked pretty cleaned up and not living poorly.
Great slideshow; thanks!
I asked my uncle who was born in 1923 about the depression and he said he never knew about it as they had what they needed. There was also the family business that saw them thru and lasted 99 years to 2007 when the 3rd generation - my cousins sold out.
