Past to present...

Neat website for folks interested in old nostalgia/historical type items (thanks Ronnie)...

Penny Postcards

You click on a state and then a county, and it shows old postcards from towns there. What I think is funny is how the locations compare to present-day. For example:

"Dallas skyscrapers", I think this said it was dated 1926...

Those 4 or 5 story "skyscrapers" seem tiny compared to now (note the old buildings in the lower left-hand side of pic)...

Then there's the "New Expressway" through Dallas... how pleasant... I would guess this might be I-35? I dunno... I don't know the date for this postcard either... but doesn't it look like a nice peaceful city highway? A nice place to move your family to?

Here's our modern-day highway system... notice how many more lanes there are... and yet still there's congestion... there's never enough lanes for all the traffic now...

Maybe this is a pic of all the city people trying to get out of town back into the country, haha.
