It is wonderful for LOC to upload these on Flickr.

The car in the foreground is a '29 Plymouth (first year). The other one is a '30/'31 Ford.
Prince Neon Telephone said:
Junked cars 1940s style, a decade earlier it would be a junked 1918 Model T ford, before then a junked wagon cart. The fact the car is only 12 years and rusted up is a sign the quality of those cars wasn't that good.

What sort of automobile is that?
aware health said:
I doubt the caption. Given the conditions of the time and place, that housing looks pretty upscale -- relatively new roof and siding. Definitely better than the "shack" in the other photos.
Flawless Rhythm said:
"Upscale"? You're joking, right?
aware health said:
Relatively, I said...
Liz said:
I agree. I wonder why they were condemned. Perhaps there was rampant illness or some other reason. The condition of the cabins looks pretty good for the time.

These are basket-case Third World poverty conditions . . . there were apparently parallel universes going on in one country. One half (white) appears to be mass-producing aircraft with which to combat evil and tyranny abroad in Europe and Asia; the other (black) half are living in the evil of poverty and tyranny of discrimination at home. What can be acknowledged overseas as evil may be un-acknowledgeable at home?

No kidding.
Peggy Archer said:
pleroma - in certain parts of the USA, there is still third world poverty today. It's much more startling in 2008 to see people living in squalor than it was to see this type of thing at the tail end of the Depression.
Jonathan Stiles said:
I was astonished when in the early 90s I came to the USA and saw this home grown degradation for my own eyes. Coming from Europe I'd only seen relatively positive images of American prosperity and power in the media: this was the can-do superpower that had landed men on the moon . . . . And yet it couldn't take care of its own people adequately.

It still can't. We're a first world nation with large third world areas.
