McSorley’s Old Ale House is pictured on East 7th Street on October 7, 1942
The Daily Mail has published a nice set of Kodachrome slides taken on New York streets in the 1940s. Seeing and 88 year old McSorley’s is cool, but nothing beats the antique photos on Shorpy.
Quick searches there turn up hundreds of fabulous photos from Brooklyn and New York City. But there are some western gems to be found as well, including one of my favorites, a photo of Wisdom, Montana that shows off an exemplary Kodachrome sky. (Click to make it BIG.)

Great shots and I really enjoyed the links. Have you been to McSorley’s Ale House yet? Near Cooper. Pete, Maryann, Mike & I had lots of beers there one night! Looks the same.
Not yet! We considered it, but the Penny Farthing happy hour was too tempting to pass up. Soon though!
Okay, this makes me miss my endless Montana sky!!! Don’t do that to me!
this is a fun spot…
