The 1940 Buick!
Today the Census releases data collected in the 1940 federal census.
https://www.npr.org/2012/04/02/149703617/time-machine-12-short-trips-to-1940
NPR page above has many examples of typical USA life as the world crashed around us.
Some interesting 1940 tidbits in the article:
A July 1940 news broadcast, including William Shirer from Berlin, and Edward Murrow from London.
Artie Shaw's "Frenesi" was a big band hit.
The "interesting" 1940 Dartmouth-Cornell football game.
A new young singer named Frank something or other ...
The new Buick!
We were the "envy of the civilized world".
The Inkspots sing "Maybe".
The needs of the 1940s journalist.
Glenn Miller is "In the mood".
The just-completed Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed.
Krazy Kat collects mouse trophies.
The Census recommends the best place to get information is "where people sleep".
Great overview.
