Changes in Cities
During the 1920s urbanization was going on. Urbanization was where people started to move to urban areas which contributed to the growth of cities. As the cities grew so did the inventions. The automobile was now owned by more than just the wealthy thanks to Henry Ford's affordable Model T. Since there were more people who could travel, there were many more businesses that became popular in cities. Some of them were gas stations and hotels.
Walking the Streets
People would walk along the streets of cities to by food or other items off of the carts on the side of the road.
Cities on the Rise
Cities became more popular as people moved in because there were newer things in cities that you couldn't see in rural areas.
Cities bring in People
Cities became more crowded since there were new things to do there rather than do things in rural areas.
Changes in Transportation
There were many large railroad stations through out major cities across the United States. People had been traveling by train for many years but now it was better. Train stations came up with travel plans for people who traveled by train a lot to make their trips less expensive and more enjoyable. People also liked how cars gave them freedom on where they wanted to go, and when they wanted to go there. There was a downside to having a car though. I meant that you had to travel on dirt roads between cities no matter what the weather was. Many people tried to help improve the conditions of the roads through out the 1920s.
Cars
Cars gave people more freedom on their destinations, and the times they wanted to leave from and arrive to places.
Trains
Trains had been providing transportation for a long time. People who were vacationing liked taking the train because they would sometimes get deals on their trip depending on where they were going and when.
