Does your city have any? There is a "Retro Quad Cities" facebook page that is fantastic. I would be interested in looking at others.

yes we have one - I learn a lot there and just posted a question there!
There's a bunch of them for Buffalo. They tend to focus on the city's glory years: the 1950s and earlier. The sites are interesting, but not many younger than 50 would get weepy paging through them. A few:
Forgotten Buffalo - heavy Polish-American/old East Side focus.
Buffalo Broadcasters Association
staffannouncer.com - more local radio/television nostalgia
The Buffalonian - if you're really old. The photo gallery is a must-see.

Yes, the city of my youth, Syracuse NY is there too - love it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2226651976/
HistoricDetroit.org has a pretty good Facebook feed. They post a nice mix of photos and stories of days gone by and news about new development and historic preservation.
Wayne State University has a huge digital collection of historic photos from Detroit too that are always fun to search through.

At my age, a ton of stuff I know, have seen, miss, you name it...
There is a nice "Dirty Old Boston" Facebook page that takes you back...
I frequent the Retro and Historic Phoenix pages and forums quite often. They also have a lively City Data thread about it that has almost 7,000 posts and lots of pictures. There is a also a great Google+ page of AZ and Phoenix historical photos.
Fun sites I frequent:

Mostly a series of articles on obscure remnants of the built environment.
