I love the signs and ads. The typography during those periods is amazing to me. Good find.

It's just so crazy to me as you see these type of depictions in movies, but this was REAL LIFE. I don't know how to explain it but looking at these pictures make you think about how hard it was to get by at that time. The picture of Teddy the Wrestling Bear, I can't believe people paid to watch stuff like this!

I shouldn't be so surprising to you because those photos look just like Chico [Razz]
J/K.. My youngest bro goes to school out there and it def is a lot different in comparison to the Bay Area.

Oh, and nice find too. [patriot]
