History

I know that I bring up how much technology has changed our lives in the last 20 years but this is taking this to a whole new level.

Our phones have such an important role in our lives and it has become one of the most important inventions in history if you want my opinion on it. But back in a day when things were strickly done by telegraph and by snail mail, you had no choice but to be patient for things to arrive and to get information.

Yes, I am back with yet another photo from our friends from the Western History Center of Wyoming. I love whoever is running their Facebook page because they have no shortage of historic photos from our quaint little town throughout the years.

I love checking out these old photos from Casper and being in 2020 it really feels like 1961 was 100 years ago but it wasn't. And yet so much has changed as far as what our town looks like and especially our use of technology.

The historic Wonder Bar was a Wyoming staple for good times good food and overall great memories made with friends and family.

This little town of ours has changed so much in the last few years it's always nice to get to see what it looked like before all of these 'modern-day' changes.

There are a lot of famous and/or prominent people that were either born in or call the Cowboy State home.

Most of us know Taco Johns as a staple in Mexican food around Wyoming. Heck, I used to eat there almost every single day when I was in high school. But have you ever seen a photo of the first Taco Johns in the entire state?

Finding old photos of Casper has to be the highlight of my days. It's fun for me to look back and try to figure out what has taken the place of some of these old businesses or trying to see how much has changed in these photos.

Casper has changed so much over the years and continues to change every single year. There are things that I really do miss having in this town like laser-tag for one. But I also miss the way things looked when I was growing up.

Reddit has been a good place to find some historical photos from all around Wyoming, and the best part is that people are taking photos of what these places look like now compared to how they used to look and it's a shocking difference.

Let's face it, we may not have loved our social studies classes growing up for various reasons. But looking back at our state when we are older and seeing how things change can be kind of cool. Check out this cool video of just how much Worland has changed since 1920.
