I like websites with old photos like Shorpy and Babel Colour. Here's another one, Traces of Texas. Old photos with good commentary of Texas people and locations over the years.
Traces of Texas reader Rose Anderson graciously sent in this wonderful photo of her father, Joe Guiseppi Mormena, bugling at the site of the Pecos River bridge near Langtry, Texas. Rose didn't say when this was taken but her father bugled at nearby Fort Clark from 1917 to 1946. pic.twitter.com/KK8m0B7Bzr

A small bodega in San Antonio, 1939. So amazingly clear. You can make out the brand names of pretty much everything behind the counter.

Another awesome shot by Russell Lee. pic.twitter.com/RDfNYPWX7p
One of my favorite Texas history photos. Men drinking beer at the Tondre Saloon in Castroville, early 1900s. This building still stands as part of the Castroville State Bank. Here's what it looks like now: https://t.co/748QSLiGUI Wouldn't it be great to sit down and have a beer? pic.twitter.com/8nHMQEignv

Scene in San Juan, Texas, 1939. I'd love to walk into that place, order a cold Southern Select, Grand Prize, and Budweiser, sit down, drink them, and talk to the locals. I always wonder if beer 80 years ago tastes like beer today. @indybrewing
