    I have to agree, it does not look so bad in color. I thought they had it so much worse having to walk around in black and white but now that I know they had colors back then....

    I wondered about that too, and found that I guess technically the early 1940's could be considered part of the great depression. I still would have called those photos "WWII era photos"

    Some consider the end of the Depression to be mid WWII especially those out side of the U.S. where the recovery took longer.

    Obviously. I was referring to the people in the pictures, not the poor bastards refilling shells in a paper house in Tokyo.

    This is really cool and worthy of a peruse, but I would run afoul of TGR netiquette if I didn't mention that this was posted previously.

    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues
