I'm a crocodile, with a weakness, and I'm interested in comparing the 1930's to now! Who isn't???

One Night Stand tonight! Everyone come out. In the 30s, "one night stand" meant a full night of listening to jazz! #30sclass

We hear a lot of people say things about "our generation", but when we compare ourselves to previous generations, are we really that bad?

23 states had Thanksgiving one week. The other 23 had it the next week! :D #30sclass

[Achilles @AchiIIes_Heel]

With Thanksgiving just passing, let's remember, in 1939 FDR changed the date of Thanksgiving. The country didn't support him, really. Soooo

Ghandi's Salt March started on March 12th, 1930. I gotta admit, the 30s were a busy time all around the world.
