the 1940 Air Terminal Museum

Go back in time to the original 1940 Terminal in Houston, TX. The 1940 Air Terminal Museum was once where those who could afford afford to fly across the country would arrive and board the DC-3 Aircraft. At the moment is undergoing some renovations so I will have to come back another time. As I walked through with my camera I thought about the people who used to pass through the doors coming and going from Houston. The exhibits entailed old photographs, old books, and old aircraft memorabilia. For a moment I entertained the notion of learning to fly. It's not too late to learn is it?

Hoovervilles




History gives a huge credit for the Great Depression to President Herbert Hoover. People would wear their empty pockets inside-out as "Hoover Flags." People built crude, poor homes and called their communities "Hoovervilles." Here are some pictures from a news article comparing upcoming "Obamavilles" to "Hoovervilles." These photos come to you from the University of California at Berkley. Now as you look at these pictures try to imagine yourself living in those times.
