www.squareamerica.com I'm taking a little break for the holidays but I'll be back by New Year's with lots more new stuff. Happy Holidays!!
www.squareamerica.com A little something for those of you on the East Coast who might be expecting a bit of snow this weekend.

www.squareamerica.com Here's a little something for those of you who'd like to get their weekend started a bit early. And make sure to click on the smoke link to see a new version of an old show. The drunk link will take you to a great audio clip (I posted it recently on my blog but if you haven't heard yet it give it a listen).

www.squareamerica.com Another new one: While the name of this show will almost certainly change, the photos will not- 50+ pics of Amusement Parks, Fairs, Circuses, etc...

www.squareamerica.com Good News! You still have 49 hours left to order my AWARD-WINNING* book Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America and still have it delivered for Christmas!

It's the perfect gift ...for all your loved ones from 8 to 80 so what are you waiting for??? *Bronze Medal winner 2009 Independent Publishers Book Awards so technically it's award runner-upping.

If you're giving it as a gift and you'd like us to inscribe it (and believe me, we'll write whatever you want us to as long as it's not going to get us sued for libel) e-mail cityfiles press after you place your order and let them know what you want it to say.
www.squareamerica.com Do you a bad case of the Mondays? One so bad even Dilbert & Cathy can't cheer you up? Well, here you go. You're welcome.

www.squareamerica.com One for the weekend: while I've had photos of these guys scattered around the website I thought they deserved their own little show. It's just men being men- gun-toting, hard-drinking, porn-loving men- and is there really any other kind?
www.squareamerica.com
www.squareamerica.com And speaking of Christmas, I was going to redo the entirety of my Square America Xmas spectacular but only got as far as this show of photo Christmas Cards before giving up- look and feel guilty that you're clearly not taking Christmas a seriously as these folks!
www.squareamerica.com
www.squareamerica.com I just posted two letters to my blog that pretty much sum up the true meaning of Christmas.
www.squareamerica.com
Here are two letters about 4 years apart (I think). Clearly during that time young Elsie learned both penmanship and the real meaning of Christmas- getting awesome presents! Also, given the line “the war is not over here where I am. ...
www.squareamerica.com I might have linked to this one before but if I did so what?? It's scenes from a drag ball in NYC. c.1960 and if that's not worth taking a second look at, what is??

www.squareamerica.com In case you missed it, yesterday I added a ton of new content over at Square America as I posted pretty much everything from my This Is My Country project that I've finished to date- over 60 slideshows (and I'm still less than half-way done!). While about half of it will be familiar to you if you've been following me h...ere or on twitter, there's still a bunch of new stuff so over the next couple of days I'll be pointing out some highlights. First- 3 years in the life of a Motorcycle Club (Club- not gang) from Hamilton, OH.
www.squareamerica.com
www.squareamerica.com Well, today's kind of a big day- I finally put up a limited table of contents for This Is My Country. Only the first book is close to being done (and even that is only a very rough draft) but I figured it was time to have easy access to everything I've done thus far. There's lots of new content so there's plenty of n...ew stuff to see!! Make sure to check out the Prologue because that'll be the first thing to go once I start editing!! I'll still be adding links here every few days as more shows get completed so stay tuned!

This Is My Country: An Epic Survey, Rendered In Photographs, Home Movies, Audio Recordings, And Other Assorted Ephemera, Of Everyday Life In These United States And Of The Ways And Customs Of The American People c.1900-c.1976 (A Work In Progress)
www.squareamerica.com Here's a small show of photos from the Chicago World's Fair in 1933 & the New York World's Fair in 1939.
