Man cities like those sure were better off back then.  I don't think it's off topic.

Absolutely Beautiful.   I love this kinda stuff.  I wish there were some more pictures of the 30's.  I found a few in color that were just amazing.  I'll try and search for them.

This is absolutely ON TOPIC. This is what we are fighting to restore! This is America's culture before it got poisoned!

I have photos of Flushing, NY from the 30's 40's and 50s.  The day of the RKO Keith, many of you that live in this area know what I am talking about. It was an amazing great neighborhood. And of course times changed and boy have the changes slid down the toilet pipes.

Amazing photos. I liked seeing the old cars and people dressed in the style of clothes for that period.
The Buildings were charming and unique. Thanks for sharing.

Oh no, I actually remember those buses in NYC when I was a kid, am I that old? I have not been to 42st & 8ave for a while but I remember the Nedicks on the corner, is it still there now?
Anyway, great pictures.

Everyone dressed so well, men wore suits and women wore dresses.  Now everyone dresses like they are at the beach, in junior high school or going to a brothel.

I have so many more old photos from Queens and NYC itself from maybe half a century ago. I would like to post them.
