Man in uniform rolling a cigarette in Corpus Christi as his girlfriend coolly smokes while taking in the sun, 1943. The sign reads "Filtered Salt Water Pool No Jellyfish." That's a good thing!

@Artmaster2b @Patriot79Baker @SandraK87933686 Why do you say most won’t go to heaven? I know for a fact, I’m saved and have the blessed assurance that I WILL be with my Lord when I pass from here. John 3:16.
A remarkable very early look at San Angelo. One of you natives can better tell us if any of these buildings still stand and from where this was likely taken and in which direction we're looking. It seems like it should be looking north or south, given the shadows. Taken by noted San Angelo photographer M.C. Ragsdale, who settled in San Angelo in 1882 and was in business for the next 36 years. He probably took this in the 1890s.
