Did you notice men raising their hats to the tram?<br /><br />I had a professor of French history who thought the couple of decades before the Deluge of 1914 were the best time to have been alive.<br /><br />I used to ride the streetcars in New Orleans.

Especially striking that this was only 100 years ago and how much costume, transport and architecture<br />have changed. <br /><br />Now when was it the world began to be in full color rather than black and white? ;-)CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653106775702366387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-78051537411133801352010-12-09T12:16:17.642+00:002010-12-09T12:16:17.642+00:00That was excellent.
