A tad off topic, but did you know that cities prior to 1890 were death traps in the US, with a higher death rate than birth rate?  The key difference was that in the early 1890's sanitation measures were instituted. I used to kid my dad that he was lucky he was born in Brooklyn in 1906. If he had been born a bit earlier, he might not have been able to sire me, and what a tragedy that would be!  Smiley

Anyway, it was good that the US was largely rural prior to 1890.

The first pic is a night view of the LA basin from Mt. Wilson circa 1908, and the next the same view 100 years later. Pretty cool huh?
