Soup Lines


No, it was not a picture embargo yesterday. I got up and my internet connection was not working, and had to get off to work. Sometime during the day, it started working again. So, we are back online and posting pictures. This picture shows a soup line in New York. The picture was taken in 1910. You don't see soup lines much these days, as they have been replaced by food stamps. I have read that the number of people on food stamps has exploded to an all time record. It is just not as visual as people standing in line waiting for a meal.
