When Grandma was a Bad Ass!

It's funny, how not many people can't imagine their grandparents ever walking on the wild side?
In my grandmothers day, swearing was when you said Jesus, Mary or Joseph's name in vain. Transportation consisted of streetcars and cars, the cars were starting to become more popular since it was the early industrial age.

A wild time was going out dancing. Their generation lived through many wars and the great depression. So learning to be thrifty and resourceful was part of their everyday life. They usually had a lot of side businesses to bring in extra money.

One of my grandmother's favorite past time was racing with the streetcars. This wasn't too hard since cars were faster in the early industrial age. They also lived through proabition. Hard to imagine that alcohol was prohibited at one time.
