All public domain, these pictures are a pretty awesome snapshot (pun intended) of a different time in American life. I haven't had a chance to get through all of them but I loved this one...

This is some cool shit TJ. Just on a quick glance, I found this pic of the town where my Aunt lives:

An American town and its way of life, Southington, Conn. The Memorial Day parade moving down the main street. The small number of spectators is accounted for by the fact that the town's war factories did not close. The town hall is in the left foreground.

I can only hope and pray to look this put together and posh when I'm at work. Not a hair out of place, lipstick still on by lunchtime.
