You guys would've hated living in the '40s. Come on...You had FDR in the White House from '40 to '45 and Truman from '45 to '49

Great find CM, I enjoyed seeing those photos. :)
Especially the b/w ones from the 1800s.

My pleasure.

I collect old photos. I love seeing America as it used to be.

Simpler times.
