Turning 104 this year!
Manhattan before most skyscrapers, 1931
Boy posing proudly in his double breasted winter coat, Worcester, circa, 1902.
My grandmother on her wedding day, 1931.
My mother wearing her great-great grandmother’s gown circa 1980. We still have it but it’s too fragile to wear now
The 70s Transition: my parents in 1968 and again in 1970
My grandmama passed this month, wanted to share these pics of her. Born dirt poor in rural Kentucky in 1937. She was so glamorous.
Average American family, Detroit, Michigan, 1954. All this on a Ford factory worker’s wages!
My Nana in the dress her mom made for her prom 1963
My father with his mother and baby brother in Brittany in 1940. Only my father survived; Betty and Harvey were sent to Auschwitz in February of 1944.

ViralHunt tracks Reddit and eight other networks, records how every post grows, and puts what is taking off in front of your team in one list.

We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong. Peak per 1,000 members is computed the same way for every community listed. See how we measure.
