A Century in the Making

The Olympics are returning to Paris for the first time in 100 years, which got us thinking about all the ways the world around us has changed in the past century, and how it’s stayed the same. Would you prefer to live in the 2020s or the “Roaring” Twenties?

CHIC (Pearl)

I’m intrigued by the fashion of the 1920s, from hats and flappers to rising hemlines and bob hairdos. Everyone was letting loose in the wake of Prohibition, and women were putting more skin on display in a show of liberation. And from all the photos and films of the era, it looks like everybody was having a lot of fun! If I had a time machine, this would be one of my first destinations.

GEEK (Kevin)

Tight suits, bowler hats, cigarette holders? A little too stodgy for me. Call me a big dumb guy, but I’m always happier lounging around in a Hawaiian shirt and jeans than getting dressed up for a cocktail party with people who couldn’t care less about the score of the ballgame. And there’s one thing that’s taken a big leap in the past 100 years that I couldn’t possibly live without: power tools!

Cooling conditions

We’re not saying you need it to survive record temps like we’re experiencing this week, but air conditioning makes it a lot more bearable. Yet 28% of California homes get by without it. How do you beat the heat?
