Pennyland - Echoes of the Great Depression
November 27, 2008

Feedback on “Penny Riordan, "Carroll Seniors," and the Great Depression:”
In addition to Ms. Penny Riordan’s excellent narrative on the Great Depression, Mr. Frank Thomas has called to our attention an excellent YouTube video – and website – featuring a soulful, insightful tune that really puts together a face and melody to a difficult time in American history…
Frank Thomas - http://www.pennyland.org/ - writes: “This is not meant as a political statement, but rather as an attempt to put a face on something that so often appears academic. If you don't or can't embed video on your blog, I would certainly value your opinion on this 5 minute film, as well as any help you might provide in sharing it with others. I thank you. In hard times artists, as much as anyone, need strong advocates to help share their work.”

A poignant movie by Frank Thomas inspired by "Pennyland" a song written by his brother, Eddie Thomas featuring Depression Era photographs from the Library of Congress and audio excerpts from Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 inaugural address.

For those who have missed the reporting of Penny Riordan, the former education reporter for in the Carroll County Times, do not despair.
She is still with the paper; however she has become the editor of the newspaper’s “Carroll Seniors” publication.
The November 2008 edition of the paper has a great deal of excellent content on the Great Depression, which has certainly been in the forefront of the news these days as the nation continues to wrangle with economic turmoil.
Unfortunately, the content is not online. So you will have to walk on your feet to a nearby hungry store and pick up a copy at a newsstand. How delightfully quaint.
I recently grabbed a copy and revisited the joys of actually holding a newspaper in my hand as I poured over the excellent writing… You should do likewise. It is some great reading…

“Carroll Seniors” “The Great Depression: those who lived the decade compare it to the current economic crisis”
“Banks shutting down.
Stock market troubles.
Unemployment.
In today’s economy, these phrases are used often. But they also conjure up memories of another economic crisis that has been bough up a lot more in recent months: the great depression.
But for those who lived through the great depression, things going on in the economy today just don’t quite compare.”
