For example, life in the western United States is far different from the conditions in eastern sections. There is also a clear distinction between country folks and city folks.

The exposure to a variety of cultures and languages is characteristic of large metropolitan areas. "A Walk in Central Park"; Manhattan, New York City (April 5, 1947) caught this family following their viewing of a Broadway show. See more images in our People collection.
