Way Cool - Old pictures of D.C.

I'm stuck inside waiting for my stove (I mean range) to be delivered. I'm killing time on the Internet. But I'm no longer bummed about this, because I just found a huge collection of photographs of Washington from the '20s to the '50s on the Library of Congress site. Check it out:

Washington As It Was: Photographs by Theodor Horydczak, 1923 - 1959.

There are pictures of the Senators in the 1933 World Series here. And the cherry trees. And my neighborhood (broadly speaking).

This is so cool. As I've been browsing, I realized it would be quite possible to see my grandparents in these pictures. It's a very connecting feeling.
