I know practically nothing about Utah in the 1930's, other than that was the Depression. Can you share why you have a love for this time period in Utah?

I have vintage postcards from 1939 of salt lake city that need an appreciative home. I dont want a morbot to have them, thus I have not listed them to sell.

Salt Lake had a wonderful trolley system with three grand unions.

SLC had trolleys until the oil companies got together and killed them nationwide so that the demand for gasoline would increase.

I think it was Frontline that did that documentary about chevron, firestone, gm? that colluded to get rid of trolley systems. I have been trying to find it for eons, do you know where it can be found?

Decade of my folks' young adulthood. Dad told lots of stories.

Utah Phillips grew up in that time and place :)

Actually that whole era is of interest, not just the 30's. The Joe Hill saga. Jack London wrote about hopping trains through Ogden. Park City's silver mining history...
