Vintage photos....Awesome!

my city Library has some online archives of thousands of local historical photos; found my house in there along with lots of good classic shots.

I have the link on my home computer; will have to post up more later this weekend

Where (also when) I grew up.

More at Shorpy.com; probably the most amazing website of high resolution vintage images I've ever found.

How about some 1942 Middle America action? MUCH larger image on their website.

Some 60's. Again, much larger photo at shorpy.com or if you cut and paste the pic link to a new browser window.

None of those are showing up bud! Hahaha. Bet they are awesome though!
