Vintage shots from days gone by!

What an American icon and moment in time.
What from today will prove as timeless and become as scarce?

The display inside is amazing to see, it starts as a rural area, and progresses to futuristic city a step at a time.

One of these liners was at The Dunkirk NY swap meet last year, selling memorabilia.
Private owner.

"Back in the Day" one of them came to the couty fair in Niagara County NY.

Right, WingNutz! Nielsen argued that he should have been doing comedy all along (though he'd done well in dramas). After seeing him and Priscilla Presley having "safe sex" in full-body condoms ... well, I could disagree with ol' Les there! LOL

Two big Yankee baseball stars pause for a photo-op with two
obscure fans. Left to right: Mickey Charles Mantle, Mary Ann
Kappelhoff, Archibald Alexander Leach and Roger Eugene
Maris. Great country back then! Commoners could get their
pix taken with baseball ROYALTY!!!

I think Mickey's middle name was Cochrane, after Mickey Cochrane.

Mickey Charles Mantle (October 20, 1931 – August 13, 1995) was an American baseball player who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.
He played his storied 18-year major-league professional career all for the New York Yankees, winning 3 American League MVP titles and playing in 20 All-Star games. Mantle played on 12 pennant winners and 7 World Series Championship clubs

The first Morrison St. bridge in the foreground. I recognized the location before seeing the note above. Love the old Portland shots - which surprisingly enough, there haven't been all that many in this absolutely fantastic thread.

There seem to be very few shots of Portland, forget about the 60's and 70's. I'm trying to remember, would the old Journal building be just South of the bridge?

[jimi'shemi291]

I do think that "The Mick" helped Roger. Mickey made no pretense. When he came to the plate, he might not make the fence, BUT said he was gonna hit the hell out of it as hard as he could, every time. That's true.

I still have my Post baseball cards from that great time! (I didn't have money for the real thing, so I cut my BB cards out of Post cereal boxes! LOL)
