I finally found out what this town is. It's Breezewood, Pennsylvania!

It's one of the few places where an Interstate turns into a regular american road instead of an usual controlled-access highway.

Fucking Pennsylvania! Why am I not surprised?

Apparently in the 1930s, the US Army was developing blue denim uniforms. They looks...interesting.

I believe Seabees in the field during WW2 had access to denim work pants and shirts.

Pic tax:

Seabees laying Marston Mats at Torokina Airfield, Bougainville Island, early 1943. At least five soldiers in this photo are wearing denims.
Now, they *are* technically Navy, but w/e.

Here’s a historical image which requires a mild PL to explain. I live somewhere in southeast Queensland, Australia, and we’ve had an absolute mother of a rain event, the worst some have seen in years. The suburbs around me are (or were) underwater, but I live on a hill so we’re good.

But anyway, this is a photo of a McDonald’s in a town called Lismore, a place a few hours south of Brisbane, in New South Wales.

This Maccas is rather unusual because it is built on the third floor or so sort of height, and the reason for that is because Lismore floods. A lot. So they designed it to withstand significant flooding.

Despite being a building specifically engineered and built to withstand insane flooding, in the past couple days, this Maccas still managed to entirely disappear in one.

As far as any record keeping goes, this extent of flooding has never happened before. This is a first. Some are calling it a 1-in-1,000 year event.

If this does not qualify for a historical photo, then fuck me, what does?
