40 Interesting ‘Then And Now’ Photos That Show How Time Affects Everything (New Pics)

I'm amazed that someone actually decided to go back from the concrete nightmare to a maybe less practical but much more beautiful transportation method.

My hometown! Well, where my father, aunts & uncles live and were my grandparents were. I lived there every summer from 1973-1989 & for three years from 1980-1983

Wonder how this was justified in reguard to transportation issues?

Notice how much clearer the air is as well. The haze in the 1971 picture isn’t age or fog, it’s exhaust from the leaded fuel burning cars, 15 years before catalytic converters became standard equipment. I’m old enough to remember living with that kind of pollution. I remember smog alerts in L A in the seventies, where old people, young children, and people with respiratory issues were warned to staff indoors. PE classes at my school were held indoors instead of outdoors on those days. If you went up into the mountains above the smog line, it was like night and day, and coming down, you could see the smog line approaching. That what I love to see the cleaner air in the “now” pictures. We still have a while hell of a lot to do to clean up the planet, but at least air quality is better. In the US and Europe, at least.
