Life in the USA in the First Half of the 20th Century (61 pics) |

These appear to be restored pics but they're amazing! My favorite are the working women, of course. http://www.uniquescoop.com/2010/03/life-in-usa-in-first-half-of-20th.html

2. The top pics of Southern street scenes, are just like my town today. |
|
And like many many other little towns around here.
I now find it comforting to live in "like it used be " place.

6. i know it says first half of the 20th century |
|
but to me they all seem to solidly be in the mid 1930s to the late 1940s...
Great shots anyway, and not trying to pick nits; I'm just saying...

11. Amazing how color and sharpness suddenly make it so possible |
|
to actually believe the past existed and make the people and things so real...they remove distance from the images and make you feel as if you could step right into them and talk to the people. I love restored old photos.
