Color pictures from the Great Depression

Here are two of storefronts that I especially liked:





There are 68 more pictures on the Denver Post. The photographs encompass everything from people to places to farms to train yards.

Looking at some of the pictures, it's pretty amazing to see how people lived back then. And all the advertising in the picture with the school children? Yeah, I don't think that'd go over too well today.

A lot of these spark a sense of familiarity in me. Alabama in the 1960's had not changed very much from the way these images appear.
