    Great pics. If you notice a lot of the school kids don't have on shoes. My grandma used to tell us that they could only afford one pair of shoes a year so they never wore shoes in the summer. Also, I love the War Bonds poster in pic #69
    i know a lady from kentucky who never had shoes until she was a teenager. i think to myself, how the hell did she walk to school or play outside in the cold months? their toys were stick and wood made items.

    Some of the town pictures still look like my neighborhood today .... except back then everyone tried to dress nice and today everyone wears flip-flops and board shorts from Old Navy.

    my grandfather joined the army during WWII and growing up on a farm never wore shoes either and when they started marching on the way to battle he said a lot of men had blisters on their feet and could barely walk.

    Thanks for sharing, these are great. My grandfather took a lot of pictures around this era and earlier. They're so great to see.

    Nostalgia is nothing more than a fallacy.
    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    May be true when you're young. But when you pass middle age it becomes much more appealing! :lol:

    At that's what at its heart, makes it sad. Longing for the past because it seemed better more so cause it seemed "simpler" is an awful empty philosophy, but it has become a mantra of how our culture lives.

    Actually I think you can also be nostalgic for a better future. Even better yet, you can work for a better future.

    Nostalgia for the future is utopia..and also unrealistic. Work and hope for a better future will bring it closer.
