Very cool.

Observation: people were butt ugly until the mid-1980's. How anyone ever endeavored to have sex with anyone else back then is beyond me.

THESE chicks were the main attraction in the "girlie show"?!!!!!

The on the left looks like Anne Ramsey from "Throw Momma From the Train," and the one on the right looks like my grandmother...when she was 72.

Since homosexuality is out of the question, I would have had to join the Priesthood. With women like that I would GLADLY give an oath of celibacy.

Seriously - not an attractive one in the bunch - but brings more to the 'blue collar' feel of the pictures and times...

I like #29 - the main street.

Shops: Bar....Coffee...drugs...bar....

Bought back memories of the days I use to sit on the porch with my great-great grandfather and listen & hold pictures of the great depression & beyond. I miss

him. People back then endured a lot of hardship & children were adults by 10 taking care of large families. Thanks for sharing.
