Yup, as is the H bomb PHoto, and the Forest Fire photo.
 


Trinity Episcopal Church - Chicago, after the Great Fire.



World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893. For those of you who have traveled here, it's at the site of Jackson Park and the Museum of Science and Industry. The MSI is the only remaining building from that fair. The buildings were beautiful, but built cheaply and were not meant to be permanent fixtures. The MSI lasted the longest because it was actually built fireproof because during the fair it houses antiquities and fine art.
 
Did you even look at the second picture? It's called... we've come full circle.

Probably not as famous to most of you as to myself, this is my grandmother. She is credited as the first American nurse to land in Normandy after D-Day. This print appears in the Women of American Wars exhibit outside the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.

Epic thread. 5 stars. I will take my children through this.

wow.

Edison is not the greatest inventor of all time. He is just a Tesla wannabee. Edison was a great self-promoter to be sure and good at stealing ideas from bright young underlings.
