@roxxy1 These were wonderful photos. I njoyed every single one. The workers atop the Empire State bldg. and the Golden Gate bridge are extraordinary. Most likely immigrant workers happy to have a job - no matter the danger involved. Very important part of US History, helping to build our cities and landmarks. I luv looking at photos that reflect back on our cultures and history, as well as entertainment. I can't believe how ripped Walt Disney was!! Look at those arms.

@roxxy1 That would have been me with my Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner I purchased from a door to door salesman. Had that vacuum for so many years I lost count. I honestly think it was the best I ever had.

@Lindsays Grandma My mom keeps complaining, " I wish I still had my upright Hoover".

I sent her that pic, and told her now I know what to get you for Christmas !

@roxxy1 Thank you for the pictures - so interesting! The ones of workers at great heights give me the willies; I don't know how they do that.

@roxxy1 Love the photos, especially the little bear cub hugging the man's leg.

But...I didn't know Indiana was a country. Or was the Miss Universe contest that year held in Indiana in the US?

These photos are priceless, and an amazing walk through our rich history! They're all wonderful, but I especially like the one of Albert Einstein in fuzzy slippers. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this nostalgic thread.😊

I love these, thank you for sharing!

The one of the golden gate bridge, is he just standing on two cables? I'd be scared out of my wits to do that.

And was that snow under those babies in Russia?
