Do you like old photos of places?

This one is Taos NM. I joined historic photos on Facebook and they upload some amazing photos on there.
I love these. Especially old gas stations or diners in the southwest. I've joined a few groups as well.

It calls to me; with a nostalgia for a time and place I never knew.

Yes, someday, I would love to do the entire length of historic Route 66' much of the old neon lighting remains intact as does the 1950's style store frontage. Also, don't forget the famous "Wall Drug" In the 60's there were road signs in places like Vietnam that read "Xthousand miles to Wall Drug"
@Grateful4you No, those were once great buses. I rode up top on a double decker Greyhound once, and that was a real blast. 😊
@bijouxbroussard Exactly the kind of bus we had. I got to see the "Indie 500" racetrack, Wassons Dept.store (similar to Macy's) where my dads mom worked after she sold her Deli store. She was an elegant woman but ended-up with pre-senile dementia and started selling Wassons dresses door to door for a buck or two. Funny but also sad.

I do. Have you ever looked in on the Shorpy website? I think they have a lot of old photographs of different things as well.

Yes. I have a book of all the old photos of our city and gave it to my dad who was very elderly and would remember the photos as they really were irl. When he passed it was one of the things I really wanted to keep. I think they are so interesting.
