Depression Website

well not being original but i also felt like the site was hard to navigate. Through much searcing i did find some interesting pictures. I always like to look at photo galleries because i feel actual photographs and murals really capture life back in those times. The photos under the health care link was the most interesting for me. The relief pictures showed how hard life was, but the recreational photos, like the Children's Theater, showed a different side of the depression.

Yeah, the website was hard to navigate through.
What I found surprising was the there were so many different kinds of pictures. I mean, who would have ever thought of looking at pictures of kids playing "Ring Around the Rosy"?

Pictures also help me better understand what the life was actually like during the time period. They help me understand much more than reading documents.
