    The times when life was simple WITHOUT unnecessary complications people just got on with life, without smartphones etc etc, many of us would like to go back to those simpler times!!!!!!!!!!

    Looked like a hard scrabble life there, but at least they had Mildred Irwin to keep them entertained

    I am reminded that the North Platte canteen during World War II served more than 6 million free meals to traveling servicemen. An astonishing accomplishment.

    My Dad was from Nebraska, born 1917. His stories of growing up there shed a different view compared to what I was taught in school. The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression really took its toll on the area. He had old photos of the area from different years, one showing workers standing on top of snow drifts bending over to work on the power lines. Another one I remember showed a house almost completely buried in a drift, a huge dust or dirt drift. Some were photos of WPA Workers he worked with or knew well. I no longer have these photos but another family member does. I'll see if I can get ahold of some and submit them if I can.

    My grandpa was raised in Barneston (born in 1934...he's a Winslow and there was a lot of them in Nebraska at that point 😂) His family were mostly poor farmers who first came out here when they started settling Nebraska in the 1800s. These pictures were fascinating to look at!

    Are we sure these photos are from the 30's and 40's? I've lived in that godforsaken land, and it looks like last week to me.

    I always appreciate your taking the time to discover, upload and sharing of these old pictures, showing life as it was then. It’s both wonderfully nostalgic and sad to think how quickly time moves on and people once full of life and vibrant, are no longer with us. Thank you again. 💕💕💕

    My father and his two brothers were born in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1920s. The family moved to a farm in northwest Kansas during the Depression only to have encounters with Dustbowl conditions. Throughout my childhood we would take occasional summer "vacations" to visit relatives in Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota. These photos are a great glimpse into conditions a decade or two before our forays into many of the same places. I always wanted to kiss the ground when we got back home to our place 7,600 ft. high in the Rockies.

    My dad grew up in the North Bottoms in Lincoln. Growing up, we vacationed in Lincoln more summers than not, starting in the late 50's. Thank you so much for this walk down memory lane, even though it's long before I started visiting there. It brings my dad's memory closer.

    My dad was born in '29..he didn't talk much about his growing up years in Atkinson. In fact it wasn't til my sister and I looked through photo albums in 1999 that we learned he earned ribbons for his singing. We never heard him sing. Thanks YTT for these interestingly captioned photos and the

    Wow, lovely collection of old photos. As a railfan and train lover, I especially loved the pic of the railway crossing with the old triangular warning sign. Quite different from the crossbuck .

    Thanks for sharing these great photos. I was born in Gothenburg, Ne and my grandparents were from Kearney, my aunt & uncle lived in Omaha. I lived in Lincoln & Scottsbluff for a period of time so almost all the towns shown have a personal connection to me. That was really great to experience. And parts of Nebraska are not much different today!
