In order to encourage more posting here in the History and Preservation Thread I decided to start a "Photo of the Day" type thread for historical and vintage photos of the places we love. So, if you have vintage photos, post cards, or whatever feel free to share.

The owner of this bank ran off with ALL the money just as the depression was sinking in, and about 10 days before xmas. This also included the entire accounts of the church charity funds in the hood. He stayed on the lam for over a year, and BEGGED and CRIED not to be returned to town when he was caught.  |
