Great article with the history of Pie Town inspired by these photographs.
I can’t stop looking at this photo. It’s so hectic yet so calm. Mesmerizing!
I know that this photo is from the 40′s but some of those coats look like something out of today’s fashions! Love it!
Notice there are like NO fat people in these photos?? Unlike today in America….

I agree with cooleye foto.
This was before the chemical companies got hold of our food and started injecting everything with growth hormones and other chemicals. Also these people actually worked, they didn’t join a gym and then never show up.
