This is so incredible. If you've read Grace's Pictures, you'll remember the characters riding the trolley. You may have tried to imagine it. Well, now you can actually see it! I just ran across this clip. What do you think?
It's been said the key to unlocking the future is found in the past. I tell stories about those who went before us and left guideposts for us to find. Take up this journey to the past with me and be inspired, entertained, and enlightened.

Peeking Into the Time Period of the Ellis Island Series
Sometimes, while working on my books, I crave some visual inspiration. I can't go back in time, but things like this help put me into the world my characters live in.
By the way, I do not agree with the romantic notion that this time period was when America was truly great. There were many injustices and crippling poverty. No time period can claim greatness more than another. (And I was also amused by the credits at the end: "curiosity of..." Spell checkers can't be completely relied upon. It occurs more than once!)
