    This is perfect. Thank you so much for replying, I'm very close to finding what I need with that bit about the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. I love doing research...you learn so much. It's great when others help! So, thanks again. :)

    Mike, thank you SO much. I've been going down a (very interesting) rabbit hole with this bit of information, and I think I'm close to getting what I need and learning a lot in the process. Thank you for replying!

    1920's fashion - femme vs. not-femme?

    Hi ladies! It's uh, been awhile since I've been here on the FL, but I remembered what a powerful hivemind is here and thought I'd pick your collective brain. Hopefully I've chosen the correct room... I'm just curious about what you know about late 1920's fashion/trends when it comes to women...

    Vintage trains

    Howdy! So...forgive me if this sort of question shouldn't be in this particular thread...but I have a question for you all since you seem to really know what you're talking about and I'm completely lost. I'm doing a bit of research into northern Wisconsin during the late 1920's for a story I'm...

    The Abbreviation “OMG” Is Way Older Than We Thought

    Lest we are tempted to bemoan the "decline" of language, may we all be reminded at what an amazing, living thing language is! And may we laugh at the idea of an old British dude using "OMG" in earnest. I dare you to not read this without the valley girl intonation! LOL

    Brilliant street photographer discovered

    I don't know, Paddy...her portraits are stunning...worthy of critical praise, in my opinion. I didn't so much like her group or architectural photos...but her portraits were powerful. :)

    Brilliant street photographer discovered

    it gives me hope that the person who saved this collection is a young person who understands the importance of saving the past. i mean...he's even saving her clothing.

    Custom made vintage repros...

    Inky, that is a fabulous shop. I'm definately going to order something from her in the near future. Might satiate my desire for vintage repro until I stop being lame and learn to sew. ;)

    I hit up my local vintage shop, and found this pretty necklace. Not sure when it was made or anything, and the shop lady didn't know...but I love it all the same.

    Nerd Culture in the 1920's and 30's

    Did it exist? How does one research what made someone a nerd back then, and what would they be into back in the day? I'm thinking...paths of study, entertainment, interests. Sci-fi, latest scientific discoveries, goth/horror/macabre...what are some good resources for finding these sorts of...

    Taking Amtrak

    I dunno if 2001 is recent enough for you...but I took a train from Washington D.C. to Portland, OR and loved every minute of it. I didn't even have a compartment. There was something really great about sitting in the dining car, watching the scenery go by. I spent a lot of time in the...
