Wow, that is really cool. The color makes it seem almost more realistic than had it been in b&w.

Great Post, Boshizzle! I have to give some props to Russell Lee, though... those are some awesome color photos for 1940! (And props to whoever preserved them too!)

Great post and those pics- those pics are priceless!

In a time where we use wifi controlled BBQ pits, remote thermometers, pellets, Thermapens, competition, forums, (etc etc etc) it is so easy to forget what BBQ is all about- thanks for the reminder.

That was the first thing I noticed.

Yep, the photos are incredible. The Library of Congress has been taking care of them.

That was freakin great. Thanks.

Thanks again for another history post! Anyone else notice they are wearing coats, ties, and hats to a BBQ? Today it would be cut offs and flip flops.... I look at old pictures and see proud people.

I bet many have not been though Pie Town. What was great about the pics to me is knowing the place with the exception of all the cars really hasn't changed since the 40s. People from there don't wear shorts and flip flops by the way.

Wow, thanks for the photos!
