Old-timey photographs

shorpy.com%20thumbnail.jpgShorpy.com is an innovative new blog that presents old photographs from around the United States over the past century. As the blog's authors describe it, "Shorpy is a photo blog about what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating."

The photo on the left is from Houston. Called "The Banana Wagon: 1943," the May, 1943 photo shows a house with a fruit stand in Houston on Franklin Street. Note the laundry hanging around the second floor porch. Check out this interesting new blog.
