Most of us know that the shortest distance from Point A to Point B is a straight line. I'm sure this feature comes with a very good explanation.

1936 Williamsport. PA.
|
With Williamsport under a flood watch today, I thought I would share this image of the 1936 flood. I think, but am not certain, that this is the area where Penn College is now. The Cromar factory is in the background. Perhaps someone will confirm that or correct my error. This is a scan of a 4x5 inch glass plate.

Celebrate the 40's
 |
2010 Jim Thorpe, Pa.
|
Ahhh. Getting up to 40 this afternoon. That’s porch weather! This is a cyanotype, a process from the 1840's printed from a negative taken with a Zeiss Ikon box camera, made in the 1940's in Jim Thorpe, Pa. Thorpe played professional football into his 40's. That's the best I can come up with for the fourties in one image.

Tin Can Day
 |
2004 Recycling Center, Lycoming County Landfill, Montgomery Pa.
|
January 17, 1943 was proclaimed "Tin Can Day". Tons of tin cans were collected to be recycled for the war effort. It was considered unpatriotic to throw tin away. It is still politically incorrect.
