My church recently lost a member who moved her at the age of 2 when this town was a tent community with the bar and post office being the only buildings and the roads were mud holes with planks across them. He has pictures from that Era all the way to now, and the growth is amazing.
I always wonder why these shots don’t look more natural. It’s like the Ferngully machine came through and stripped everything. The steam kind of makes it look like it just time-traveled to there.
he had only just finished placing the artificial dinosaur skeletons in the Cenozoic era geologic layers as a prank that paleontologists have yet to get.
Coming from a smal village in Sweden, it is basically a joke about how you can leave your home village/town for 50 years and basically nothing will change in that time.
I pity the people back then, because that's a much more beautiful area now that it's in color. They really missed out. :P Also, that's the year my grandfather was born. Neat.
I'm 30 and my granpa was 5 older than yours, grandma was 10 younger than him. He came back from WWII 3 years after it ended, at age of 27, as he was held prisoner. At the time, at 27, people already had more than in children, while he had to rebuild his life again (like many many other fighters of the war). My mom was born 17/18 years later, 14 years after her other two sisters, when my granpa was 45

Vermont is similar, we used to be mostly pasture for sheep

There are never trees in the old photos. I know why, but it makes it look so depressing and barren.

Why can't it be done in America? Because that would be socialism...

The more I hear about Scandinavia the more sense it makes that so many of you settled in the northern reaches of WI and MN.

I was talking about 1888 of course, but even then I was wrong. He was born in 1886. Oops.

Your grandparents and parents must have both had children at very old ages. I'm almost 40, and my grandparents are 50 years younger than yours.

You do realise that old seniors use plenty of the internet :p or did you think this site was only filled with us young folks.
