    Here is a shot of downtown Pittsburgh in the early 60's. The yellow brick building on the left is the old Pittsburgh Press, a Scripps-Howard newspaper which went out of business in 1992 due to a strike. :( The red and white lighthouse on the top is the Scripps logo trademark. The building now is home to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. :)
     
  2. Where was this one taken? It looks like an old picture from my home town.

    That's some crazy footage. I'm surprised I've never seen it in any WWII documentaries.

    What's wrong with Glen Miller?

    guess I figured wrong, glad you like it.. suppose it's nice for a change of pace.
    is that Glenn playin, or is it a Glenn Miller song being played by someone else?

    Link's photos were all planned ahead of time. He'd synchronize a "ton" of flashbulbs to get the effects he did.

    I think I recently read and article which indicated that there was only one US WWI veteran left, an ambulance driver. I think Great Britain's last WWI vet died a year or so ago.
