Taken in 1924, some friends enjoy riding in this new car, which could travel at mammoth speeds of up to 25mph! Hooligans driving reckless!

The reality is they allow you to fit a full length staircase in a small space. If you cut half the steps out, the rise would be too high, if you shortened the rise, your staircase wouldn't reach the next level or your tread would be too shallow. Commonly used in modern tiny homes. Why would a witch not be able to go up those stairs?


Nelson Story drove his cattle into Paradise Valley near Bozeman, Montana Territory, in 1866, and by 1883 he was one of the young territory’s most powerful men. Today, his great-great-grandson Mike Story still operates the Yellowstone region Story Ranch and Cattle Company.

Key West, Florida. 1938
Photo by Arthur Rothstein
In early 1938, Arthur Rothstein documented federal efforts to rescue Key West from economic collapse. A few decades earlier, Key West had been one of America’s richest cities, but a confluence of disastrous developments had bankrupted the community. Formerly thriving cigar factories had moved north to the mainland; the lucrative sponge harvest had collapsed; and a devastating 1935 hurricane killed hundreds and destroyed the rail line that had linked the Keys to the Florida mainland.
By early 1938, the federal government was orchestrating a successful revitalization of the island’s economy through a variety of employment, development, and promotional programs. Construction was nearing completion on the federally funded Overseas Highway that would replace the destroyed rail line. The federal rescue program promoted Key West as an attractive destination for deep-sea fishing, boating, and entertainment. As part of this effort the Federal Writers Project produced a 1941 volume of the American Guide Series dedicated to Key West. It includes numerous photographs from Arthur Rothstein’s 1938 visit.




No garage for the car, and you have to park on the circle and walk to your own house? That must suck on grocery store day. It looks neat, but no way do I want that lifestyle.

Yeah, that's a horrible design. Other houses close by, crazy long narrow yards. That's a design that I can't imagine many people would like. I'd love to know "Why?" I have to imagine that someone had a reason that they thought was a good idea.

April 2, 1942 - Jimmy Dolittle's Raiders depart San Francisco, destination, Japan, for a joint USAAF/USN mission of payback for Pearl Harbor.
On 1 April 1942, the 16 modified bombers, their five-man crews, and Army maintenance personnel, totaling 71 officers and 130 enlisted men, were loaded onto the USS Hornet at Naval Air Station Alameda in California. Each aircraft carried four specially constructed 500-pound bombs. Three of these were high-explosive munitions and one was a bundle of incendiaries. The incendiaries were long tubes, wrapped together to be carried in the bomb bay, but designed to separate and scatter over a wide area after release. Five bombs had Japanese "friendship" medals wired to them—medals awarded by the Japanese government to U.S. servicemen before the war.
The bombers' armament was reduced to increase range by decreasing weight. Each bomber launched with two .50-caliber machine guns in an upper turret and a .30-caliber machine gun in the nose. The aircraft were clustered closely and tied down on Hornet's flight deck in the order of launch.
Hornet and Task Force 18 got underway from San Francisco Bay at 08:48 on 2 April with the 16 bombers in clear view.
The first installment of payback for Pearl Harbor was on its way..
