A network here started showing an old drama series from the 80's that was filmed in Toronto. The series itself was just OK, but I was fascinated by all the locales back in day, no matter how mundane. I love this sort of stuff.
The Getty Museum in LA had an interesting exhibit of found photos and restored prints from everyday life. Their website has a few of the best on display. I especially like the 1961 photo of a girl, taken by her dad, as she was waiting to leave for the prom.
