I like learning about things from different time periods and I have spent hours on this site looking at all of the photos. There's a search box in the upper-right corner so see if there's any old photos of your city and share if you want. Unfortunately, there's none of my city but a few of Orlando and Miami. The site's really neat!

That's cool that back then the people were allowed to just drive up onto the beach and park their cars and chill. Of course they were allowed to do a lot of things that are no longer allowed today. I noticed the one car's license plate is from Ohio...that's quite a trek. I wonder how long the drive took them.

Only one from an area not far from me.
I wonder if I can submit the photo of the plane crash that happened in 1919 two blocks from where I live...

You can drive and park on Daytona Beach. I'm sure there are many others in Florida as well.
Edit: I finally found a site with 9 photos of 'Historic Orlando'. The first one with the alligator is pretty neat haha http://orlando.about.com/od/citiesto...-Downtown-.htm Last edited by DN_Catastrophic; 03-15-2011 at 03:16 AM.. |

You should submit it there and share it with us too. That's a pretty incredible event. Do you know if the pilot lived or not?

No I don't know whether or not he lived. And the photo isn't mine, it's actually at city hall, but maybe I could convince them to share it. Obviously due to the age of the photo it is not copyrighted.
