This is what people did pre-cell phones. They actually WENT OUTSIDE and did stuff.

To be fair there are still a lot of people who enjoy the beach these days. Just with much less clothes than in 1908.

Not a single “prominent” person.

Women even dressed up to go to the beach.

they all dead now

Fuck that.

They call it Scranton, what? The Atlantic city!

Imagine men in work suits on the beach nowadays. I don't know what is weirder, the swimsuits, or the normal suits. And women didn't even worn swim suits yet at the beach.

Look how blue the water was

Didnt thhe city have people walking around with tape measures making sure womens swimsuits went far enough down their legs?

Really diverse crowd, lol.
