(Thanks to Karen for some of these links!)
I really love documentary or "street" photography, which was made into an artform by photographers like Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Helen Levitt, Diane Arbus, and Roy DeCarava.
Somewhat related are found photos and vernacular photos (photos by amateurs capturing their everyday life), which are on display on several sites.
Shorpy is a cool, early 20th-century archive; The "In the Booth" collection at Square America is definitely worth checking out; Flickr has an area where users can post their own images, such as the cool one here. And of course, we all know the joys of Found Magazine.
Now, I just have to go to a flea market and find my own found photos... or start taking my own pics!
