This is a delightful video of 93-year old Grandma Droniak rating some of her outfits from the 1950’s, or her 50’s fits, if you will. “I won’t.” That’s okay too. Damn, the 50’s — that was a long time ago! She sure slayed it though, even 70 years ago. I’m

The first predominately features famous buildings and monuments, and the second one more human activity. They were a trip to watch. To think that this was captured over 100 years ago.
