James Fallows has a great post called “Industrial Age Glamor” that features old photos of airplanes made by American companies, and celebrating American (automobile!) companies. We no longer live in the good ol’ days.
On a similar note, the Smithsonian has a website dedicated to transportation in America. It’s a website that is as interesting as you make it. I didn’t explore it that much before moving on. But I’m hair-brained and easily distracted.
Finally, if you want to see a collection of photos that beautifully illustrates how buildings remain constant in a changing community and society, check out the post my wife put up. The photos themselves speak more eloquently than I ever could. They are visually arresting and a delight to go through.
