In any event, I've typically thought of Brazil as a developing nation, while those old images of Sao Paulo convey the impression of prewar Los Angeles with its stately skyscrapers, palm trees and overall well-to-do appearance. I take it Brazil was more prosperous in the first half of the 20th century than it was during the second?

^^^ that's so crazy seeing LA without the Library Tower, It's literally the Empire State Building of the West Coast.

Here's the Erie Canal going through downtown Rochester, NY in the early 1900's (first view). Second view is the Genesee River running through downtown. (Rochester Public Library).

great example of explosive growth for a city. small trackside tent town in 1900 to full blown metro with many skyscrapers still being built at a ever going pace. from its tiny not so long ago beginnings until today. calgary has experienced a continuous pattern of growth. awesome.
