    Is that Dennis the menace, Jay North, in the picture at 9:17, the one with the sucker stick in his mouth!? These are so quaint! The men with their push mowers- my sister has the one our dad used in her front garden! - one even has his weed wacker handy on the handle..😎 towards the end the 2 ladies, one with the grass trimmer, the other with the canvas grass catcher attachment, are lovely in their trousers and shorts and blouses!
    I could go on and on about these reminiscent pictures, a little before my day, but I won't!
    The studious lady with her bug collection caught my eye!
    Thank you for this collection! I really enjoyed it!!

      If these pictures were in "Life" magazine they would have been taken by a professional photographer, with a 1st class camera, and the knowledge to get 1st class pictures.

    That picture of the older couple sitting on the porch near the steps: I had one of my own grandparents from that same time period that looked so much like them. Don't ask me where it is now, not after the number of times I've moved house.

    I could be wrong, but I think the two 'Tudor-style' houses in the background at about 0:45 seconds into the show, (lady pulling wagon with two children) may be at 39 & 41 Wyatt Rd,
    Garden City, New York. They still look remarkably the same.

      They're still good pictures. Are you trolling an old picture site? LOL...My parents were in their prime in the 40's and people back then would say "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". Guess you never heard that saying. He who only criticizes is sad indeed.

    • @SuperDenise128
      @SuperDenise128 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I bet people were thinner because they ate healthier...raised their own veggies in a garden. Meat and milk didn't have all those hormones and antibiotics. Less additives and less sodium. Less "packaged" foods back then. And people didn't just sit around all day. A push mower and washing clothes (sometimes by hand or with a wringer washer) burns a lot of calories. I remember in the winter my Mom and Dad had to go to the cellar every so often to shovel coal into the coal furnace to keep our house warm in the winter.

      No big mystery here....the average diet in those days was probably even more unhealthy and caloric laden than today....however cigarette smoking was rampant back in the 40's and no greater aid to dropping a few and keeping em off than your average pack a day Lucky Strikes...Camels....Marlboros...etc etc.
