I found this picture of some flapper girls in the city during the 1920s. When I think of the 1920s, I automatically think of the flapper girl. I think this picture really shows what a typical flapper girl looked like. The women all have short bob hair and dresses that do not cover them up completely.  They just look like 5 friends hanging out; they do not look like mothers or daughters or wives, just normal women.  This picture reminds me of Sex and the City and how there was always a shot of the Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte walking down the street of New York City.  Flapper girls are very interesting and iconic people.

Philadelphia in 1920

This is a picture of Broad Street in Philadelphia, PA.  I just thought this was a cool picture because I have stood on this street many times and i recognize the town hall in the background.  This picture does not show how crowded the cities were during this time but you can see people walking on the sidewalk and the cars on the street.
