I wish it still looked like that. It was beautiful in the 20s. A modern art masterpiece.

Here's what the school looks like now:

Just keep going on Glenwood Road for an extended view.

Yeah. Looks pretty fucking trashed doesn't it? Even though it's remodeled. When I was going to this middle school and kids saw the old photograph from the 20s, they were calling it "gay"

I swear kids these days have no self-respect or respect for history. What a bunch of pecker fuckers.

Pretty sure I lived in my hometown for less than a year.

Sandtrap · April 18, 2015, 07:25:51 PM

The building I live in is from the 1920's, there are black and white photos of of this area, during the 1920's hanging up on the walls in the dining area. I don't even have to post nothin' cause I'm living in it.

If you peel off the layers on our walls you'll find wallpaper from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50,s, and 60's.

It's changed a lot here. Now it's just part of the second largest Metropolitan area in California. As in, you can walk 60 miles in a straight line and still be in the same metropolitan area. The town I live in though has done a pretty good job at preserving the historically old downtown though, which is a good thing. Other than that, it's sort of just suburb. :/

Though LA's one is still far larger and more populous.

No, I'm in the San Francisco metropolitan area. About 300 miles up north. But I live about 40-something miles down south of the city itself right next to this place called San Jose which nobody has ever heard of despite the fact that it's the 10th largest city in the entire country.

http://Historically a mining town, Llanelli grew significantly in the 18th century and 19th century with the mining of coal and later the tinplate industry and steelworks. Many of these industries were served by the Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr Railway which opened in 1803.

Llanelli became such a significant regional producer of tin that it was referred to as "Tinopolis" by the latter half of the 19th century. The closure of coal mines and competition from overseas steel plants meant that Llanelli, like many other towns in southern Wales, saw significant and sustained economic decline from the late 1970s.

The Llanelli Riots of 1911 were a series of events precipitated by the National Railway Strike of 1911. Mass picketing action at Llanelli railway station was brutally suppressed by the police,[1] resulting in the deaths of two men, shot dead by troops of the Worcestershire Regiment.[2] Rioting followed and magistrates' homes were attacked and railway trucks were set on fire, resulting in an explosion which killed a further four people.

The incident was highly politically sensitive, as the Great Western Railway through Carmarthenshire, southwestern Wales, was the main route between England and the troubles in Ireland.[2] The Riots occurred during a period of great industrial unrest, and involved prominent figures on the international scene such as Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, King George V, and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany.
