    Look how nicely people are dressed, how clean the streets and the service stations are. This is when folks had pride in their life and their property. How we, as a society, have changed in the past 90 years and not for the better.

      you realize we can show off the best pictures of any decade at any time. Even in 2023 we can show the best pictures of 'how great' everything is. Those 1930 pictures are beautiful but in no way represent the real history of the 1930s.

      @@voodoodisco They absolutely do. Even in poor areas people dressed up nicely when going out. People kept their yards clean and it was part of societal norms not to litter. My great grandparents and grandparents lived in Detroit, Michigan and they didn't even have locks installed on their doors well into the 1950s. They were not rich but kept their small homes kept up at all times and they talked about how they would get dressed up and go downtown for shopping and lunch in an environment of practically zero crime. The issue is you want to keep telling yourself things aren't so bad so that you don't have to face the hell hole you live in now or do what is necessary to fix that problem. There is a solution, but that solution is brutal.

      @@firepower7654 Well said. Shallow souls like the one you responded to have to lie to themselves and claim that things were never objectively better, because confronting the reality of what we have lost (or more accurately, what has been taken from us) would probably cause an existential crisis. I was born in the mid 80s and the general quality of life has gotten significantly worse over my lifetime, and went into a freefall in the mid 2010s. But as long as people have creature comforts and technological distractions (that offer short term pleasure at the expense of the long term) they will continue deceiving themselves.

    Precious look back at America at another Generation. To see such high quality photos of the 1930s cars driving through streets, parked and in driveways. The average person would never be able to see so many wonderful photos of that time period. Thank you History Lounge.

    Wow look how nice everyone dressed and how everything is kept up, swept, painted and clean! Our people today seem to take no pride in there cities in how they trash them. Look at all the goods right on the sidewalk, flash mobs would have stolen it by now. What a shame, and we say we've come so far, it doesn't look like it to me. Thanks for sharing, very nice.
