And I agree that the fashions of those teens don't look like 1920s...long pencil skirts, mmm. I'm no fashionista, but late 30's or 40s before WW II?Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-85690136495969128442015-07-12T20:29:22.553-04:002015-07-12T20:29:22.553-04:00I knew from the very first image, but it's int...I knew from the very first image, but it's interesting to ponder on the fact that the United States is full of names from other places. I assume someone's done a study of it, perhaps several, but it would be interesting to know what percentage of place names in the United States are indigenous (or derived/corrupted from indigenous), and whether there is much geographical variation in that proportion.<br /><br />Aside from that, there are so many features of your sub-images that could only emanate from the US. I was a little surprised, though, at your date of the 1920s, as I had originally guessed at least 20 years later, perhaps more.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-73060504144748510642015-07-12T19:22:23.615-04:002015-07-12T19:22:23.615-04:00You had me tricked there for a while.

I think America must have places named after or the same as practically all the more well-known world cities - I know there is a Melbourne there somewhere, but I would be surprised if it is anywhere near the size of the Victorian capital, which has a population of around 4 million.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-53895479193805033082015-07-11T18:53:04.981-04:002015-07-11T18:53:04.981-04:00We had a Paris, MI nearby when we lived in Idlewil...We had a Paris, MI nearby when we lived in Idlewild, MI.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-6560716983022520892015-07-11T16:04:16.372-04:002015-07-11T16:04:16.372-04:00I live about 40 miles away from South Paris, Mike ...I live about 40 miles away from South Paris, Mike -- been there many times!

Most in the photo are looking pretty serious, but I caught one outright smile, a couple of hesitant ones, & several pleasant expressions. :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-38625884780966816232015-07-11T12:47:31.942-04:002015-07-11T12:47:31.942-04:00I like seeing the fashions.
