Growing up in south Texas, these kids are doing what we always did. Walk everywhere, even over summer hot gravel barefoot.

Submitted by Born40YearsTooLate on Fri, 02/08/2013 - 2:54pm.
While surrounded by the city of Arlington, Dalworthington Gardens itself it still somewhat semi-rural, but now many of the homes are larger custom homes, along with some older homes, on lots an acre or larger.
Nice '36 Photo
Submitted by Flatbush on Fri, 02/08/2013 - 11:34am.
My parents were both out of the nineteen-teens and did that thing called "The Great Depression" as young adults. Finally, we get to see some rural kids who appear clean, well-fed and happy, albeit with government help.

Had this been described as an establishing shot for the movie, "Paper Moon," I would have believed it.
I Can Tell You One Thing

It doesn't look like that now. As a "suburb" of Arlington, Texas, it's surrounded by a metropolitan area of millions of people.
Looks Like a Lustron
Submitted by 510Russ on Fri, 02/08/2013 - 8:42am.
The style of first full house visible on the left anticipates the Lustron house, which would not debut for another decade.

The two in the middle look like Jem & Scout from "To Kill A Mockingbird"
